The Lullaby Collection

This is what I call 'The Lullaby Collection'.

Track 1 and 2 are songs I arranged for the piano, Tracks 3 and 4 are my own compositions.

1. Ned of the Hill
2. If I Had Words
3. Lullaby
4. Fine

Ps for those wondering 'Ned of the Hill' is an Irish folksong and its name is a mystery to me also!

pps The lyrics to 'If I Had Words' sort of go with the picture I chose and are very pretty:

If I had words to make a day for you,
I'd sing a morning golden & true
I would make this day last for all time
then fill the night deep with moonshine
If I could make a day for you
I'd give you a morning golden & true
I would make this day last for all time..
then fill the night deep with moonshine

Vivace

Here is another one.

I wanted to write something that was fun to play and gave my fingers a good workout on the scales.

Study in C

Hello Everyone,

I decided that once uni was over this year I would set my mind to composing five pieces for the piano, record them and then give the cds to anyone who might like them.

I wrote the five pieces....and then some more! I began having some trouble choosing which ones I wanted on the CD.

Then this evening it occurred to me - hey, why don't I make a blog that I can upload my compositions to whenever I like! So here is one I wrote about a week ago.

I have used Garage Band (a mac program) to help it sound more like a nice piano and less like the electric piano in my laundry it was recorded on but other than that it's just me playing.

Enjoy and watch this space!
