Silent Night
Here is a jazzy version of the iconic song. The intro has an improvisational feel to it, and then the tempo gets rather fast. – Piano solo // Length 2:14, tempo rubato, 3/4
energetic
Marching Pianos
This is a piece from my printed collection of pieces “The Elements of Ballet” for the ballet schools accompanists (the “Coda”). This version is for two pianos; the character is very lively and upbeat. In the middle part you’ll find 2 very short “quotations”, a reference to two iconic American melodies – “I Wish I Was in Dixie” by Dan Emmett and “The Stars and Stripes Forever” by J.F.Sousa – as a brief wink to the tradition. 🙂 – Piano duo // Length 1:17, 132 bpm, 4/4
Retro Piano
The piece imitates the light music style of the oldies, maybe, the 30ths – with a hint of virtuosity and a few nice harmonic transitions.
Length 1:44, 150 bpm, 4/4
A Million Dollars
Blue tag = for a demonstration only; not for sale. – This is a rendition of the famous song by Rafaella Carrà. First the existing original arrangement was imitated, and then the result was developed into something else. The vocal line in the sample is substituted with the celesta for a reference. Big band, piano, celesta // Length 2:54, 173 bpm, 4/4
India’s Roads
The piece consists of 2 contrasting parts. The 1st part, the Intro (1st minute of music), is very picturesque, almost ambient, picturing something like early morning, the first rays of the Sun and colorful Indian landscapes. It doesn’t have fixed rhythmic structure; it just floats freely, harmoniously weaving together expressive timbres of national Indian instruments.
The 2nd part (from 1:01 to 2:15) is rather fast; it’s very rhythmical and happy, and has Indian pop music feel to it.
This piece could perfectly garnish any program about India, where there are views of the country, Indian landscape, movement. The parts can work as one piece, as well as separately. – Sitar, tanpura, sarangi, bansuri, finger cymbals, tablas, dhapali, drums, bass guitar, synthesizers // Length 2:16, 1st half – rubato, 2nd half – 134 bpm, 4/4
