The Tennessee TwoIII. My JuneIV. Hello, I’m Johnny CashPiano Trio No. 1 (Poets and Prophets) was composed by Mark O’Connor during the Fall of 2003. The piece was commissioned for the Eroica Trio by a noted patron for music, Kathryn Gould of Palo Alto, California. The world premiere took place at the Montalvo Chamber Music Series in California, March 5th, 2004. In a letter to the members of the trio dated 9/20/03, Mr. O’Connor lays out his plan for the new music.My initial ideas have sort of exploded in to the entire concept of the music with a real impact actually. Now I am piecing together the parts of it and then will eventually work on detail as I get the overall form under wrap. Here is what my inspiration for the music is; Johnny Cash.Johnny was a boyhood hero of mine, I used to sing his songs when I was 8, 9 and 10 years old, and played the guitar like him (sometimes up the fretboard strumming away). My mom used to help me transcribe all the lyrics off the albums, she also thought he hung the moon.                                                                                         As you can imagine, the passing of Cash for me this last week has been emotional. I am at my very best when I compose with my emotions at my sleeve, and guess what, it is time to do the Eroica piece. And I believe I will be able to craft a very unique tribute in to the form of a Piano Trio. There is something that is very fitting in all of this though. Cash was one of the few country music and rockabilly musicians to appeal to all ages, all types of people all the way into the MTV generation which is something that is hard to fathom. That one person can move musical mountains with his charisma and his voice. He sung about the prisons, riding the trains, about killing, and living, about lost love, about the gospel, about the downtrodden and the Native American, and about being stoned. His musical sound was the thing that got everybody though. He developed along with his guitar player Luther Perkins, a new and vibrant way to bring the music out.I also knew Johnny and worked with him, visited him privately at his home. Johnny also appeared on my album called Heroes, where he brought back the great story of the Devil coming down to Georgia to challenge young Johnny for the golden fiddle. My job now is to bridge what I am feeling about my inspiration for Cash, and bring it in to the instruments that I love writing for.I might not have imagined that this Johnny Cash concept would have worked out of hand, if it hadn’t been for your musicianship, insight fullness and graceful approaches in to the details of musical concepts and style. If the piece is good, then I will have no doubt that you will bring it to the forefront so others can grasp the intentions of the work, and in addition for others to enjoy playing it after you have brought it all out in to the open, and gave it a life. Original music printed from the composer’s manuscripts.Music editing, copying and engraving by Mark O’Connorusing Finale on Apple Macintosh 2003 Composed by Mark O’ConnorCan be heard on An American Journey by the Eroica Trio, Angel RecordsMark O’Connor Piano Trio with Soyeon Lee and Soo Bae soon to be released on OMAC Records Catalogue Number MO160.

Published by Whitcomb Music (A0.1251015). This excercize prepares an advanced-beginner pianist for the first invention by Johann Sebastian Bach (C major). What makes Bach's inventions difficult for some modern pianists? They require both an active left hand and independence of the hands. This exercize trains you in activating the left hand, so you don't have to tackle both challenges at the same time with the first two-part invention by Bach.The motifs are similar or identical to those in Bach's first invention, but are easier: mostly limited dual-hand activity, compared with Bach.

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.923358 Composed by Jenny Walker. Contemporary,World. Score. 19 pages. J Walker #3473249. Published by J Walker (A0.923358). If you want something different for the piano, this collection is perfect!  It uses the 'double harmonic' scale to give an Arabian feel and provide an exotic sound to the Western ear. The pieces are great for late intermediate level pianists of all ages and would be ideal for projects correlating music with middle Eastern culture. The main theme is the isolation of the desert, represented by 'Nothingness', 'Noon Sun' and 'Oasis'. The Opening 'Golden Sands' and 'Caravan' depict the gently rolling landscape and the presence of camel trains. 'Beledi', 'Scorpion Dance' and 'Gecko Strut' are livelier and dance-like. The use of octaves and unexpected running passages gives a sense of surprise.
