Tanner, Mark: Listen to the World for Piano, Book 3. PDF
£9.95
Listen to the World is a five-volume series of delightful piano pieces covering all grades, which take as their inspiration a variety of intriguing and exotic themes. Much of the music was written in response to my frequent trips abroad as concert pianist and ABRSM Examiner. Fascinating sounds emanate from all around us — the noises of the elements, animals and people going about their everyday business. There are exotic evocations and some ancient symbolism in the mix too, alongside a little humour here and there to lighten the mood.
The piano is such a marvellous vehicle for expression, and through its prism of musical colours we might catch an occasional glimpse of ourselves, of familiar and less familiar places, or perhaps of dreams we are yet to have.
In this volume, music is to be heard reverberating through the spectacular Spanish Alpujarra Mountains, emerging from an age-old mirror, and to commemorate Ground Zero in New York. If we listen hard enough, the world might be trying to tell us something…
