Sound of the Five

Par GOWIK KRYSTYNA. Fives for piano comprises music for beginners ? miniature pieces for five successive notes of a particular scale. However, those notes can be written in different octaves, with the following aims in mind: ? to teach the quick recognition of how notes are written on the stave, ? to teach how to move around the keyboard and to recognise the sounds of the instrument?s registers, ? to make the music more interesting. There are always five notes, one for each finger, so the fingerings are not numbered and we do not introduce any techniques for crossing fingers. We assign particular fingers to specific notes ? with the help of an insert included with the edition ? and we play. Thanks to the systematic use of all five fingers, we can develop all the fingers evenly and at the same time, which is particularly important with regard to the fourth and fifth fingers. These works may touch on five-finger exercises to a limited extent, but not entirely, as in that method there are different notes in the right and left hands, while here they are the same for both hands. In my works, we learn different keys and modal scales. Each work is preceded by information about the key or scale employed and about the notes that are used. I have also taken care over articulation and dynamics. The budding pianists might try playing some of the works with pedal. I hope you enjoy working with Fives!

Sound Variations is a work comprising of eight short sections each based on a simple theme each characterised by a great variety of styles and sounds. It opens with a fanfare-like introduction that soon leads into the presentation of the main theme followed by five variations on this theme. Each of these variations has its own style: Swing Latin Waltz March and Rock. After a final repeat of the main theme the work comes to an end with a brilliant finale.

The Dave Brubeck Quartet's 1959 album Time Out changed the sound of jazz and American music. Brubeck's experimentation with meter, harmony and even Turkish rhythms eventually earned him the cover of Time Magazine- the first jazz musician to achieve such a feat. Saxophonist Paul Desmond's composition 'Take Five' went on to become the first million-selling jazz instrumental single on the Billboard Hot 100. This folio celebrates the album's 50th anniversary with full-color artwork from the original record, and a 10 page write-up from jazz historian Ted Gioia. All seven compositions from the monumental recording have been carefully arranged for Easy Piano. / Piano

These five spirituals for unaccompanied chorus despite the occasional appearance of complexity are basically simple: the harmony indeed is of the simplest possible. The apparent complexity arises primarily from the number of parts which are not however all real parts. These in fact seldom comprise more than the traditional four. Lines are frequently doubled at the octave rather in the manner of organ registration so that the chorus needs to be thought of as an organ-like body producing a homogeneous sound at many levels of the chords and melodies. Thus the numbers and even the kinds of voices needed to produce these chords and melodies in the most effective manner mustbe selected by the conductor from the whole body of the chorus according to the conditions of performance. Great latitude can be taken in this respect even to the extent of using low female voices for the high registers of written tenor parts or high male voices for the low registers of written alto parts etc.The only parts which are strictly differentiated are those marked Leader. These should be an individual voice standing out from the choir sufficiently to lead the singing both in the words and in the music. They need not be soloists engaged from outside.If the spirituals are performed in this way the apparent complexity of certain printed pages will disappear. Any reasonably sized chorus with four good leaders can produce the effect required.
