William Gillock - Selected Preludes (Volume 1)

Описание: "Lyric Preludes is a collection of short pieces meant to be played and programmed for their musical interest. While each piece is designed to exploit one or more pianistic problems, these problems are, as they ought to be, incidental to musical content.

The sequence of the preludes (the major key followed by its parallel minor rather than its relative minor) is a departure from-the usual order. This is in keeping with the ideas of William O'Toole, who follows the lead of Bach
and Sir Donald Tovey in advocating this sequence. The composer agrees with Mr. O'Toole's thesis that there is an educational value in audio-visual analysis of the parallel keys. It is suggested that the player take a new look at scales and chords in parallel sequence as he studies the
preludes.

Sensibility to the romantic idiom was the foremost consideration of the composer. The romantic style of Lyric Preludes makes them excellent preparation for the more complex works of the great masters of Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Romanticism." (Foreword from the score)

This is the first of three Volumes of Preludes I liked most from American composer William Gillock's "Lyric Preludes in Romantic Style", a collection of 24 shorts pieces in all keys.

The 10 pieces I've selected are:

[ Volume 1 ]
October Morning
A Faded Letter
Moonlight Mood

[ Volume 2]
Winter Scene
Serenade
Fountain of Diana

[ Volume 3 ]
Soaring
The Silent Snow
Night Journey
An Old Valentine

I hope you enjoy this first volume! Gillock has a ton of amazing music beyond these preludes. If you like what you hear, definitely check out his other preludes in works.
