Product Description
In his piano prelude, "The cuckoo shouts all day at nothing", Leon Gray emulates the relentless flitting and darting of an autumn cuckoo in a rhythmic and humorous jig.
Leon Gray explores a range of moods and styles associated with the beauty, drama, peace and sadness of autumn in his collection of ten original compositions for solo piano, On Russet Floors.
Inspired by lines from the poem "Tell me not here, it needs not saying" by A. E. Housman (1859-1936), Gray explores tenderness, joy, regret and pleasure using musical language that combines elements of late Romantic Era harmony with more contemporary styles that echo jazz, theatre, cinema and popular music qualities.
This collection offers intermediate and advanced pianists a small recital of reflective works in a variety of tempi, perfect for cool nights and darkening days.
This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
