Individual part. 11 pages. Joshua Bickford #753620. Published by Joshua Bickford (A0.1153365). This is a piano sonata based on the Christmas Carol, We Three Kings. In movement one, the original carol melody is changed to half notes and is turned into a three voice canon. The overall effect of movement one is the feeling of three mystics and their camels journeying in a foreign land. At the very end of movement one is one exact phrase from the original piece. In movement two, the melody is used in retrograde to create new melodic material. It is a slow movement. To me, it is reminiscent of the music of Satie or Chopin. In movement three, the new melodic material is created by taking the original melody and inverting it. In the development section, phrases from the original melody do appear. The last two measures also contain an exact quote from the original melody. It is an upbeat, fast paced movement.

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1303796 Composed by Joshua Bickford. 21st Century,Classical,Folk. Score. 10 pages. Joshua Bickford #893330. Published by Joshua Bickford (A0.1303796). A piano sonata for Fall based on an ancient melody.  Two of the movements are connected to the ocean and the coast. I consider them to be fallish because one of them is a lament.  The other one is about the bones of the earth (the rocky coast.) The third movement is about the play of light through barren tree branches.  It is called The Haunted Sonata because the melody that the sonata is based is practically invisible. It is there, but it is just like a ghost, you hear it out of the corner of your eye.
