His books Jazz & Pop Piano Paradise (Volumes 1-5) have become a commercial success and a hit with music teachers and students in Canada. (Thousands books already sold in Canada). They are also starting to enter the US, Brazil, Norway, Russia, Holland, Israel, Belgium, Sweden, Finland, Greece, Latvia and UK markets. This is a wonderful new publication.

Lore Ruschiensky, Editor, (from review in The Canadian Music Teacher) Yesterday I spent at least two pleasure filled hours playing through your imaginatively inventive compositions. Congratulations! I trust students will decide to program your well crafted and entertaining works on recitals and examinations. Review from Dr. Jack Behrens, B.Sc. (Julliard), PH.D (Harvard), Director of Academic Studies, The Glenn Gould School I liked this book the best so far. Great work! You have a gift for melody and your arrangements are very playable. Congratulations on the 3rd Volume. Mark Carlstein, Hal Leonard, Keyboard

Instrumental version of my song En Province with the Viola playing the main melody and Violin, Cello and Guitar accompanying it.

The words of the original song are by Rodenbach, in French, and an English version by S N Solomons:

En Province

En province dans la langueur matutinale,
Tinte le carillon, tinte avec la douceur
De l'aube qui regarde avec des yeux de soeur,
Tinte le carillon, - et sa musique pâle
S'effeuille fleur à fleur sur les toits d'alentour,
Et sur les escaliers des pignons noirs s'effeuille
Comme un bouquet de sons mouillés que le vent cueille;
Musique du matin qui tombe de la tour,
Qui tombe de très loin en guirlandes fanées,
Qui tombe de Naguère en invisibles lis
En pétales si lents, si froids et si pâlis,
Qu'ils semblent s'effeuiller du front mort des Années.

Up Country

Up country, in the lazy morning air,
The bells ring out amid the velvet rise
Of Dawn, gazing around with gentle eyes;
The peals spill forth ... their music, pale and fair,
Spends all its blossoms on the roofs in showers,
And on the darkling serried eaves flings
Bouquets of sparkling sound culled by the wind.
Music of Morning tumbling from the towers,
Falling from afar in faded garlands,
Falling from yesterday in blooms invisible,
Petals so slow, so icy cold and pale,
Fluttering from the dead brow of Time.

(c)S N Solomons

A setting of the La Fontaine poem La cigale et la fourmi with narrator (in English), clarinet, bassoon and piano

The pdf file contains score and instrumental parts. The narrator should use the score.

(A version with French narrator is also available on this site.)

The Grasshopper in drowsy song
Had spent the pleasant summer long,
And found herself without a crumb
When winter’s icy blast had come.
Not one small morsel could she spy
Of puny worm or measly fly.

So off she went to cry her want
Straight to her neighbour Madame Ant,
Merely asking for a loan
Of bread or grain to eke her own
Until the plenteous time came round.

“I’ll pay you back, or I’ll be bound
By August, word of animal,
Both interest and principal.�

The Ants are not a lending lot
Indeed that is their slightest fault.

“What were you doing when ’twas hot?�
She asked this impecunious sort.
� To all who came, both day and night
I used to sing at every chance.�

“You used to sing? That’s fine and right!
Well now’s the very time – to dance!�
©S.N.Solomons

Original French version:

La cigale, ayant chanté tout l’été,
se trouva fort dépourvue 
Quand la bise fut venue.
Pas un seul petit morceau 
De mouche ou de vermisseau.
Elle alla crier famine 
Chez la fourmi sa voisine,
La priant de lui prêter 
Quelque grain pour subsister
Jusqu’à la saison nouvelle.
“Je vous paierai,�
lui dit elle,
“avant l’août,
foi d’animal,
Intérêt et principal.�
La fourmi n’est pas prêteuse;
C’est là son moindre défaut.
“Que faisiez vous au temps chaud?�
Dit elle à cette emprunteuse
“Nuit et jour à tout venant
Je chantais,
ne vous déplaise.�
“Vous chantiez?
j’en suis fort aise.
Eh bien!
dansez maintenant.�.
