Composed by Graham Yates. Concert,Contemporary,Standards. Score. 12 pages. Graham Yates #6027709. Published by Graham Yates (A0.887978).
These short piano solos were commissioned as part of the second annual "Christmas in July" showcase in 2020. Each composition encodes the donor’s first name ("praenomen") as a musical motif, which is stated before the start of each piece. It also serves as a sketch that is loosely based on some aspect about the subject: 1. The classical-style "Katies kleine Sonatine" is a pun on "Katie Cline" and "Eine kleine Nachtmusik"; 2. Garrett is a proudly unusual character and his piece is vaguely atonal at times; 3. Jennie is a generous and deep soul, in a way that reminded me of Beethoven’s Andante cantabile from the Pathétique sonata; 4. "Barbara’s second commission was an occasion for me to explore a Chopinesque etude style and unlikely harmonies; 5. Jamie is boisterous, fiercely devoted, strong-minded, and plays ukulele. The pieces can, of course, be enjoyed on their own merit.
This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global
