Published by Robert A. Howard (A0.998789). This work is an extension of the original 'Rocking (sketch)' piece by the same composer (also available via Sheet Music Plus). It is a simple, early grade piano study. The rocking motion is clearly depicted by an undulating right-hand ostinato that acts like a pendulum. A descending scalic melody meanders below this, through a series of harmonic changes. The piece is highly accessible and is appropriate for almost all standards of pianist.Duration: 3 minutes 20 seconds.Registered with PRS (Performing Rights Society, UK).Composer's website: www.roberthowardmusic.co.uk

Published by Robert A. Howard (A0.1089365). This is the second in a set of three piano miniatures, which, as part of the compositional process, originally derived melodic material by setting lines from Shakespeare's Sonnets to music. In this ternary form piece, the initial section builds harmonies from a simple two-note rocking idea. Then follows a middle part based on a sequence of semiquaver arpeggio figures, before returning to a variation of the opening section, developing into a 6/8 coda. The piece is highly accessible and is appropriate for most standards of pianist, including students and more advanced players.

Choral Choir,Choral (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1398861 Composed by Robert A. Howard. 21st Century,A Cappella,Advent,Christmas,Classical. 8 pages. Robert A. Howard #982133. Published by Robert A. Howard (A0.1398861). This work is an unaccompanied choral setting of the famous poem by Christina Rossetti. It features a 3-verse structure (mirroring the text), with coda. The piece builds in textural complexity and density throughout, as an attempt to depict the increasing sense of abundant love, referred to in the text. The main melodic material is deliberately simple and rather folk/chant-like. This essentially appears as a single line in the first verse, becoming a two-part canon (by one bar) in the second verse, and finally a four-part canon (by half a bar) in the third verse. The imitative coda leads to ultimate resolution on an F major chord at the end. The work is highly accessible, and is designed for performance by good SATB choirs, able to effectively sustain such unaccompanied singing. Versions for SA choir, and for solo voice (both unaccompanied), are also available from Sheet Music Plus.Duration: 3 minutes.Registered with PRS (Performing Rights Society, UK).Composer's website: www.roberthowardmusic.co.uk

Piano Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1089367 Composed by Robert A. Howard. 21st Century,Classical,Contemporary,Folk,Instructional. Score. 4 pages. Robert A. Howard #693565. Published by Robert A. Howard (A0.1089367). This is the third in a set of three piano miniatures, which, as part of the compositional process, originally derived melodic material by setting lines from Shakespeare's Sonnets to music. This piece is essentially a set of textural variations on a folk-like theme, the tune appearing a fourth higher each time. The work employs simple variation techniques that are in-keeping with the folk genre, such as drones, modality, and parallel harmonies. Towards the end, a descending sequence leads to a final variation on the theme in the opening key, in rhythmic augmentation. The piece is highly accessible and is appropriate for most standards of pianist, including students and more advanced players. Other works from the Sonnet cycle, including the complete set, are also available via Sheet Music Plus.

Howard (A0.1405132). This work is flexibly scored in four parts, using the ranges roughly equivalent to that of a string quartet (though any suitable instruments can be used). Players can make necessary adaptions to the music, including those of octave transpositions, any instrumental doublings, or otherwise. The piece aims to depict a non-specific journey, through aspects of stasis and minimalism. Gradual, long-term harmonic change is juxtaposed alongside rhythmic interplay, especially through the use of cross rhythms and hemiolas.

Piano Solo - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.998884 Composed by Robert A. Howard. 21st Century,Children,Contemporary,Contest,Festival,Instructional. Score. 4 pages. Robert A. Howard #6486867. Published by Robert A. Howard (A0.998884). Berceuse is a short lullaby for piano. The piece quietly explores hypnotic minimalist repetitions in cycles. Berceuse begins and ends in E major, and is based on a ten bar ground bass (and its harmonies). This sequence is repeated a tone lower each time, until returning to the home key. Over this pattern, fairly static melodic material is introduced, which adds a further layer of added-tone harmony on each cycle. Variation in this piece is extremely subtle. The work is highly accessible and is appropriate for most standards of pianist, including students and more advanced players.

Howard (A0.1408376). Lines on a Walk II takes its title from the Pedagogical Sketchbook by the Swiss-born artist Paul Klee (1925). Klee was fascinated by music (he played the violin) and many composers have interpreted Klee's notion of 'line' as a way to conceive musical melody. Lines on a Walk II is an abridged chamber version of the original Lines on a Walk piece that was flexibly scored in 15 instrumental parts. This second version is specifically written for flute, clarinet, piano, percussion (any 3 apt untuned instruments, plus marimba & vibraphone), violin, and cello. It was written for IXION and first performed by them, conducted by composer Michael Finnissy in 2001. Note: this document is the full score only.

Howard (A0.1405126). This work derives material from the first 'Alla Campana' piece, also available via SMP. Alla Campana II is flexibly scored in up to 5 instrumental parts and consists of a sequence of related bell-like tones. It was originally conceived for outdoor performance and can serve as a fanfare-type work. There is further flexibility in the number of repetitions performers choose to make, and whether to be spatially separated or not. There is also choice concerning whether to follow the suggested procedure of varying cumulative combinations of parts, on each repeat, thus resulting in a textural increase throughout the performance.

Piano Solo - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.998874 Composed by Robert A. Howard. 21st Century,Classical,Contemporary,Contest,Festival,Instructional. Score. 3 pages. Robert A. Howard #6383275. Published by Robert A. Howard (A0.998874). The Fragment series of short piano pieces was conceived for pianists of almost any standard. As suggested in the title, each piece is based on a single compositional fragment or sketch that had otherwise remained incomplete and dormant. Fragment III is in a simple ternary shape. The outer sections focus on multiple unrelated arpeggiated reharmonisations of an initial four note motif. The opening section does this via an exploration of flat keys, while the final section does so through a sequence of sharp keys. A contrasting middle section is more chordal but continues to develop the key motif, building to a climax on quartal harmony. The piece is highly accessible and is appropriate for almost all standards of pianist, including students and more advanced players. Other works from the Fragment cycle are also available via Sheet Music Plus.Duration: 2 minutes 30 seconds.Registered with PRS (Performing Rights Society, UK).Composer's website: www.roberthowardmusic.co.uk

Piano Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1089752 Composed by Robert A. Howard. 21st Century,Classical,Contemporary,Contest,Festival,Instructional. Score. 21 pages. Robert A. Howard #693959. Published by Robert A. Howard (A0.1089752). This is the complete set of Sketches I-VII, that each elaborate upon ideas previously left dormant in sketch form. The first piece has a slow introductory feel, with a rising added-note chord sequence alongside a descending bass line, in crescendo. The second piece is based on a 7-bar ground bass (rising a minor third each time), that features considerable textural variation on each cycle, and culminates in a 3-part canon. The third piece explores the whole range of the piano in varied statements of a 10-bar semiquaver toccata theme, featuring canons and a superimposed scotch-snap theme. The fourth piece is cumulative, in four sections, and gradually descends in pitch by alternating hands in a minimalist build up of motifs, each followed by a chordal refrain. The fifth piece gradually builds up a right hand melody over various syncopated harmonies and appoggiaturas, before inverting the role of the hands. The sixth piece is a simple cycle of ascending repetitions of a 10-bar added-note chord sequence, with octave bass line, that rise by a perfect fifth each time. The seventh piece is a varied repetition of the opening movement (thus framing the cycle), with the initial chord sequence now arpeggiated, and with a fuller texture. The cycle is highly accessible and is appropriate for most standards of pianist, including students and more advanced players. Individual pieces from this Sketch cycle are also available separately, via Sheet Music Plus.
