Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.918243 Composed by Emily Nafius. 20th Century,Contemporary,Jazz,Pop,Standards. Score. 4 pages. Emily Nafius Music #5995145. Published by Emily Nafius Music (A0.918243). A modern, meditative original composition, suitable for students and advanced musicians alike.Composer’s Note:Nojoqui Falls (pronounced NAW-ho-wee) is a seasonal waterfall in Santa Barbara County, California, in the interior foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountains. It is the subject of stories from the Chumash, a Native American people who have lived along California’s central coast for thousands of years. When the area experiences extreme drought, sometimes the waterfall reduces to a trickle. But it is a beautiful, shady place with a magical quality, and the water always returns.For interested students or teachers, here are a few pedagogical notes:Pedal ad lib is appropriate for this piece. Unless a player has very large hands, the right hand will need to cover most of the top notes in the bass clef (the C ostinato). This can be a welcome challenge for students, as they will need to balance this with sustaining and shaping the top melody notes. Some of the middle C ostinato notes are indicated as optional, since they are already struck as melody notes during the same beat. (But they are still notated in case another instrument plays the melody.) It might feel awkward to strike some of the other C ostinato notes that are rhythmically nearby, but it can also be a good way to practice leaving that sustained melodic note ringing while striking the same note soon after with a much quieter dynamic, which requires both control and skilled use of the pedal.About the Composer:Emily Nafius is a pianist in Southern California with her musical roots in jazz. As a soloist or sideman, she has performed at numerous music venues around California in an eclectic mix of styles, and recorded with a variety of singer-songwriters and rock bands. Her work as an accompanist spans classical, jazz, and musical theatre, receiving praise for her theatre work as a pianist and ensemble leader. She has maintained a teaching studio for over fifteen years, instructing musicians of all ages.

Published by Studio at the Post (A0.1232268). Duration: 24 minutes, 32 pp. Description: Triptych for Piano, “Phoenix� invokes the fabulous Arabian bird and emblem of immortality, who—after centuries of life—is consigned to the fire only to be reborn from the ashes in all the vigor of youth and beauty. The piece captures the life cycle of this celebrated rara avis in a triptych arrangement of three “panels.� Entitled “Embers�, the first panel depicts the transformative energy of a lively hearth fire throwing off sparks, erupting with sudden pops of pine pitch, crumbling into hot dusty heaps. The central “Elegy� reaches back to the comforts of traditional piano sound, arriving like the work of memory. The final panel of the triptych is punningly entitled “Meter-morphosis�, linking Ovidian myths of transformation with the musical measure of the bar line. The piece is in three movements: Embers (still glowing) - Elegy - Meter-morphosis.

Piano - Digital Download SKU: A0.1068461 Composed by Alexander Klein. 20th Century,Contemporary,Multicultural,World. Full Performance. Duration 255. Alexander Klein #2079967. Published by Alexander Klein (A0.1068461). Alía is a composition that was inspired by the type of modal melodies composers like Ralph Vaughan Williams collected from rural areas in England and Scotland. The simplicity of peasant life, coupled with its profound knowledge of Mother Nature, is reflected in the very cantabile melody that dominates this work. To honor the equally rich peasant cultures that still live in rural areas in my native Colombia, I have included rhythmic patterns extracted from the Bambuco, a syncopated, ternary musical expression that has resounded for hundreds of years amidst the beautiful mountains of central Colombia. - Alexander Klein.
