Produktbeschreibung
Award-winning composer Margaret Brandman's pieces for piano in this collection explore several Contemporary Classical and Jazz writing techniques in a tuneful and accessible way. They serve to familiarise the performer with tonalities other than Major and Minor by introducing students to the unique sounds of the seven standard church modes used in Western Music for over a thousand years: Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, and Locrian. Pentatonic and Whole-tone scale sounds are also explored as well as pieces composed using 'Serial' techniques. The student of classical music will be opened up to the exciting world of Jazz sounds via the Modal Scales and the various rhythms included in the book; while the Australian animal titles will capture the performer's imagination and provide insight into the stylistic content of the piece. In addition to the pieces there are many helpful suggestions that provide a means of encouraging improvisation. For the student of composition, previously dry theoretical concepts are brought to life in each of the pieces which bridge the gap between conventional writing techniques and contemporary experimental material. Many of the pieces from this collection are listed in the Australian Music Examination Syllabus as set works for students to perform at their examinations.
Autorenporträt
Highly-awarded composer, pianist, and music educator, Margaret Brandman's career in music spans more than 50 years. As a successful and innovative composer, she has combined her compositional interests with her interest in accelerated learning techniques for music. Margaret is a fully represented composer at the Australian Music Centre. She has composed an extensive range of works for a variety of ensembles, ranging from full orchestra, to intimate chamber works for piano, voice, and a range of instrumental combinations. These works receive international performances and recordings. She is represented by Parma Recordings, Ambition Records, ModernClassicalX, and Furore Music. In addition to her compositional output, Margaret has written and published many music education materials in her contemporary series of education materials. These range from books for junior students to text books for high school and tertiary study. Her investigation of keyboard topography, musical patterns, and the gestalt approach to fingering of the scales, is published in Pictorial Patterns for Keyboard Scales and Chords. With over 100 published books and compositions, much of her time is spent composing, performing concerts of her compositions both in Australia and internationally, and presenting master classes on music education.
