Piano Solo - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1454856 By Patrick Jillett. By Patrick Jillett. 20th Century,21st Century,Classical,Contemporary. Score. 7 pages. Patrick Jillett #1033926. Published by Patrick Jillett (A0.1454856). Arachnophobia is a programmatic piano piece composed early on, by a contemporary Australian composer, Patrick Jillett. Appropriate for a concert, recital or eisteddfod. It is playable by the early to intermediate musicians, and can be used to teach programmatic piano genre. The atmospheric mood and of the piece, uses a colour scheme that reflects the darker, ominous aspects of a spider crawling across a piano keyboard. It is in the key of Gb major, beginning with a subtle introduction, which gives way to flowing melodic riffs, punctuated with abrupt staccato accents establishing a programmatic style. The rest of the piece gains pace as melodic riffs give way to pulsing rhythmic bass and chordal melodic harmonic melodies in a ABA form. Arachnophobia uses early to medium skill level, perfect for an introduction to programmatic piano style.
