Product Description

This piano solo version of the folk tune, "Housewife's Lament," is reminiscent of the contemporary piano style of the 90's movie, "The Piano." The rolling arpeggiated left hand provides the intermediate pianist with an "etude-like" study. The melody and lyrics (from the from the diary of a civil war-era wife), is accompanied with a contemporary harmonic language. Fingerings and chord tabs appear as well as the text for two verses and refrain, each in a different key. Intermediate pianists will benefit from this presentation of the song in two different keys to "de-mystify" the art of transposition. The recording of this piece was done by a 45 year-old- mother of three studying piano with the composer.
