By Gabriel Iwasaki. By Gabriel Iwasaki. Arranged by Gabriel Iwasaki. Classical,Contemporary,Multicultural,World. Score. 20 pages. Gabriel Iwasaki #1028741. Published by Gabriel Iwasaki (A0.1448924).

These pieces were written and dedicated to my piano students. The idea behind 
these series of compositions was to create easy, short and accessible piano pieces that 
sounded nice and that would encourage my students to learn various pieces, rather than 
learning a single long piece.

My aim as a composer with this series is to evoke feelings usually associated with 
the night, such as calmness, tranquility, serenity, among others. The harmony utilized in 
these pieces is rooted in tonality. However, the fairly constant use of chords with added 
6ths, 7ths, 9ths, as well as a few modal exchanges, add color to the harmonic sense of 
the music, perhaps even contributing to create a relaxing mood.

Also, these pieces have a pedagogical edge. They are meant to be utilized to 
showcase chord triads, broken chords, music sequences, the use of the pedal, among 
many others. If you are a teacher, feel free to use these pieces as examples for your 
lessons.

The last but most important thing I would like to add is to just enjoy playing these 
pieces. Do not hesitate in diving into a calm mood while playing these series of 
compositions, since they were created with that objective in mind. Simply enjoy them.

As a side note, you can find the Little Nocturnes performed and recorded by yours 
truly in all major digital streaming platforms.

Other than Lazarus, Jesus brought many others back from the dead. I’ve always loved the not as well-known story of the resurrection of Jairus’s 12-year-old daughter as recorded in Mark 5:22-42. With the words “Talitha Koum� (Little girl, get up) He restored her to her family. This piece is meant to evoke the reality of, and the emotions surrounding that event.

Composed by S Joplin. Arranged by Grant Horsley. Instructional,Patriotic,Ragtime,Traditional,Wedding. Score. 5 pages. Grant Horsley #6322281. Published by Grant Horsley (A0.785792).

One of the famous rags recorded on piano roll by Joplin in 1902.

This arrangement has been made simpler to allow more pianists to have a go at this great rag.

The main change was to convert it to 4/4 instead of the (2/4 common two-step time signature for rags). The main reason is for easy of reading- and maybe easier on the eye to comprehend
I have taken out nearly all of the large stretches and limited the harmony parts to what is essential and nothing more. There are no big leaps or complex rhythms. It is 4 pages long and 4 mins 30 in length. The youtube link has the full score for you to assess suitability.

I have set it for intermediate player- it's great fun and would be useful as a showpiece, something to play for concerts, recitals, productions, etc.
