Here is a collection of 5 traditional spirituals arranged for two piano players with different "intermediate" skill levels. The PIANO 1 is the easier part (early-intermediate) and the PIANO 2 is slightly more challenging, though still only at the intermediate level.

Two formats are provided for each song:
1. four-staff, grand stave with both parts (PIANO 1 and PIANO 2) on each page
2. two-staff score for each part; PIANO 1 and PIANO 2 on separate pages

These cheerful, uplifting arrangements are a welcome addition to the piano repertoire for early-intermediate students and suitable for performances in a church setting. Each song is also available separately with accompanying preview pages and audio samples.

Song titles included in this collection:
Every Time I Feel the Spirit
I Shall Not Be Moved
I?m So Glad Jesus Lifted Me
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot
When the Saints Go marching In

Christmas Adventures for Cello andPiano

A New Look at Three Favorite Carols

Arranged by Colin Kirkpatrick



Here are three refreshing new modernarrangements of three popular traditional carols ?like you ain?t never heardthem before?. Intended for the intermediate cello player and a reasonably competentpianist, they are sure to brighten up your Christmas events whether at home, school,church or recital hall. They could be used during a Christmas service or asstand-alone pieces at an end-of-term presentation. The audio sample includes recordingsof all three pieces.

The King Rides Out(based on ?Good King Wenceslas?) starts conventionally enough but turns into acountry-style song and then there?s a three-part Bach-like contrapuntal section,concluding with a wistful coda before the music returns to the joyful countrystyle. Waltz with Holly ? or Possibly Ivy (based of course on ?The Hollyand the Ivy?) turns into a dreamy waltz with long extended phrases and a goodvehicle to show the cellists tone quality. The Merry Gentleman go Latinis a lively rumba version of ?God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen?.

ColinKirkpatrick studied composition, cello and piano at London?s prestigious RoyalCollege of Music and after graduation followed a career in music education. Hewas a High School Music Director in London for about fifteen years and laterbecame a Music Education Adviser for local government, with the addedresponsibility for training teachers and directing the instrumental teachingservice.

Hehas been published by Boosey & Hawkes, Novello, Paxton, Schott, OxfordUniversity Press, Chester, Belwin Mills and Intrada (Netherlands). He holds MAand PhD degrees in education and his other interests include reading,photography, travel, cooking and wine tasting - though not necessarily all atthe same time.

Ideal for school concerts or recitals, this pairs together a beginner playing split keyboard and intermediate player (or teacher) on piano. The traditional Scottish song is given a new treatment, allowing a beginner an impressive recital outing. The demo mp3 uses pan flute/soprano sax/harmonica and bass keyboard voices to demonstrate the effectiveness of the arrangement

Note that this is for piano and spit keyboard - a version from Ian Rae for 2 pianos is also available. 2018 Keyboard Contest Entry.

This 1986 electronic classic by Jean-Michel Jarre is a dynamic foot tapper and students will love being transported back to the 80's. Arranged as a beginner duet for piano in traditional notation with an optional drum kit part. Great for school ensemble work and adaptable for any four hands on keyboards or synthesizers (especially useful when an ensemble is required for 4 fairly easy single hand keyboard parts, plus drums). It would also work as a full percussion ensemble with 3/4 tuned parts and drums. To be printed portrait on A4. Pdf includes full score, primo/secondo parts and drum kit part (11 pages in total).
Duration about 3 minutes with all repeats
