Composed by Thomas Oboe Lee. 20th Century,Classical,Contemporary,Jazz. Score. 38 pages. Thomas Oboe Lee #686739. Published by Thomas Oboe Lee (A0.1082546).
Chick Corea died at the age of 69 on February 9, 2021. I have been a huge fan of his music and piano playing since I heard the album "Now He Sings, Now He Sobs" (1968). Assisted by Miroslav Vitous and Roy Haynes, Chick was in absolutely rare form on that seminal recording!!! As a tribute to him and a "in memoriam" to his musicianship, I wrote these movements for solo piano inspired by his compositions in the album "Children's Songs" (1984). Corea's "Children's Songs" is a suite of twenty solo piano pieces, each lasting between 1 to 2 minutes. These are truly little gems of composition in miniature, like the Chopin Preludes. But every time I hear them I always felt that these nice little pieces, at least to my ears, always came up short. A lot of them seem to end in mid-air. In my humble opinion, they needed development. But that is of course coming from the mouth of a "classical" composer, me. LOL!!! Nevertheless, in this tribute, I have taken some ideas from the original Corea "songs" and reinvented them in my own fashion. You will detect a thing or two from Chick, but mostly it's TOL music. Since my "songs" get development, the entire suite consists of ten movements, rather than Corea's twenty. Enjoy!!! Children's Song No. 1 ... Moderato Children's Song No. 2 ... Allegretto Children's Song No. 3 ... Adagio Children's Song No. 4 ... Moderato TRIO Children's Song No. 5 ... Allegro Children's Song No. 6 ... Moderato TRIO Children's Song No. 7 ... Presto TRIO Children's Song No. 8 ... Moderato Children's Song No. 9 ... Molto Allegro TRIO Children's Song No. 10 ... Largo.
