Book Description
The companion sheet music book to Brian Kelly’s top-charting contemporary instrumental CD, Pools of Light. 12 solo piano pieces, 88 pages, transcribed by the composer, for intermediate and advanced players, spiral bound, with glossy cover. Includes detailed fingerings and performance notes.
The scores in this songbook are solo piano transcriptions of the Pools of Light studio recording. Since most of the pieces were composed for ensemble, changes have been made to adapt them for solo performance. Changes include: covering parts played by other instruments (flute, strings, etc.), changing the texture for variety, and providing endings for pieces that have fade-out endings on the recording. All instances where the score differs from the recording are meticulously itemized in the Performance Notes (pages 84-87). SONGS
