Original piano music
Music for solo piano, with the scores to play it yourself.
Three pieces for piano
A short set for playing outdoors: an opener, a slow middle and a finale that brings the first tune back. Listen to each one here, read its score on the page, or download it and play it yourself.
No. 1Opener
Bright and crispquarter note= 100
A pentatonic riff high in the right hand that hovers, then darts, over three rising chords that colour it differently each time round.
0:00/2:16
No. 2Lyrical middle
Slow swingdotted quarter note= 56
The slow one. A melody that keeps coming home to the same note, sung in octaves over a lilting left hand and then moved into the tenor under harp-like arpeggios.
0:00/2:47
No. 3Finale
Driving, lightquarter note= 108
Four against three at two speeds: running sixteenths over triplets, then a broad octave melody in 3/4. The coda brings the Hummingbird riff back.
0:00/2:10
About
I write music for solo piano. These three pieces were written together, as a set to play outdoors, and they share a language: pentatonic melodies, warm extended chords, and a left hand that keeps things moving.
Every piece here comes with its score, fingering included. Follow it on the page while you listen, or print it and take it to the piano.
