Composed by Ingunn Bjarnadóttir. Arranged by Richard Simm. 20th Century,Chamber,Classical,Folk,Multicultural,World. Score. 2 pages. Richard Simm #735542. Published by Richard Simm (A0.1135493).

The last song in this set was composed by Ingunn Bjarnadóttir, a uniquely gifted Icelandic woman who made up tunes from her earliest childhood without any formal musical training at all. Later, her husband wrote down the melodic lines, and she gradually came to the attention of Iceland's musical society, where her large output now commands great respect among those who know their country's cultural history. Her melodies lend themselves well to conventional harmonic treatment, yet their unique character has something ethereal about it, as if it refuses to be tied to the conventional rules of mere academic musical logic. This tune, for example, ends in a key very remote from its beginning, yet it follows a perfect logic of its own! The arranger is indebted to the composer's daughter for her generous permission to use Ingunn's lovely melody, Æskuheit.

This innocent title belies another sad tale of Iceland's desperate and often tragic past, with battles against Nature at her most harsh, and the need to survive uppermost in everyone's thoughts. There are two well-known melodies to the lullaby, which was also used in a play about a kind of Icelandic Robin Hood, but the arranger found this one particularly beautiful.

Composed by Richard Simm. Arranged by Richard Simm. Chamber,Classical,Folk,Multicultural,Traditional,World. Score. 4 pages. Richard Simm #727380. Published by Richard Simm (A0.1126731).

The first item in this suite of Icelandic tunes by Richard Simm is a hair-raising ghost story! These Icelandic melodies were originally arranged by Simm for beginner students to play as piano duets with their teachers or with advanced students. In their new form for two pianos, they are more embellished and technically challenging than the originals, but are short enough not to present too much of a hurdle. Four of the five songs are known to every Icelander, and their original texts often have stark, dramatic undertones.

Composed by Antonis Koundourakis. Concert,Contemporary,Instructional,Standards. Score. 11 pages. ANTONIOS KOUNDOURAKIS #3471903. Published by ANTONIOS KOUNDOURAKIS (A0.991619).

In this piece Antonis explores the polyphonic and the homophonic style of composition with the added benefit and freedom of having 2 extra hands on the keyboard. Therefore there is a wide range being used simultaneously and in many cases the piece requires good coordination of the performers while in other cases independence of dynamics and phrasing. There is an extended period of stretto immitations, normally found in the style of the Fugue, and a 7 voice homophonic section resembling choral music. The different styles are juxtaposed in the form of a conversation, hence the title of the piece.

This piece is ideal for live performance but can also be played by teacher and student while interchanging the parts they play for added benefit of learing coordination and understanding the challenges of the other performer when playing together.
   
In case you buy and perform the piece don't hesitate to contact Antonis at midnightnotesband@gmail.com to give him any feedback on the score legibility/playability and the experience of playing his composition! Videos are also very welcome!

In the freezing Icelandic winter, a cold and hungry raven wonders what on earth a poor soul is supposed to eat. Following his nose, he gets lucky and finds a dead sheep near a garden.
