Often attributed to be a greater pianist than he, Hensel wrote many works for the piano, as well as some chamber music, cantatas and oratorios. Due to the complications surrounding women composers at the time, much of her music was published under her brother's name.Looking for more easy piano versions of works by historical women composers?

Steel ringing in rhythm to voices, the sound of metal slicing through wood in all its sweetness. A hot brilliant mid-day sun on the street. Ducking into the doorway, then tuning the piano.   It must be a special day.The clock and church bell sounding in unison, the end of Tuesday’s labor.Humidity saturates El Tropicano, with the upright piano and a half-glass of amber. The piano montuno and bass tumbao, along with a half-complete catch of drums telegraph out the rhythms for the Casino dancing. Tall ivory women and shorter browner men in white hats, moving across the floor. ‘Still time for one more dance.

Published by Betsy Lee Bailey (A0.1065000). Never Cry Wolf - 03.Long, Long Ago from the Children's Musical (ages 8-14).  Never Cry Wolf is a retelling of the Aesop Fable The Boy Who Cried Wolf.  Set in Ancient Greece, the story revolves around Alec, the boy who would just rather goof off all the time.  The people around him would like him to learn to work and become more responsible.  They tell him and show him that everybody works -- everybody's got a job to do.  This play has many opportunities for study of the culture of ancient Greece -- from learning about the political origins of democracy to women's work of spinning and weaving.  And don't forget the cute factor of having some little children portray the sheep. All 32 MP3 accompaniment track recordings for the entire show are available at SMP Press. For more information about Never Cry Wolf visit BaileyKidsMusicals.com

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.860304 Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Shawn Heller. Concert,Folk,Latin,World. Score. 5 pages. Shawn Heller #3416243. Published by Shawn Heller (A0.860304). The Jota became very popular in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial period. The La Jota Moncadeña is adapted by the Filipinos from the old Spanish dance. It's a combination of Spanish and Ilocano dance steps set to Spanish music and castanets. A more solemn version of this dance is sometimes used to accompany a funeral procession, but it is also performed at celebrations. In the Philippine version, the women wave their shawls around while the men keep up the rhythm on bamboo castanets.The jota encompasses a variety of Spanish-influenced dances and there are many forms of jota in the Philippines whose names are derived from their regions of origin. A common progression in the jota is a quick and lively verse, followed by a slow bridge, and ending with a verse in the same lively tempo as in the beginning.
