Music from the British Isles

[rob]

Anybody know if Buxton Orr has wrote something for piano...?

Thanks.

Yup: see http://www.musicweb-international.com/orr/works.htm
Bagatelles (1952)
Side by Side (1979)
Variations (1985)

Had three piano trios by him (on Marco Polo), but found them very dry and was non too impressed.

Another major piano work from Sir Granville Bantock (1868-1946) - his Arabian Nights. This is in three movements - each movement portarying a specific story - and hence I have posted as three separate files [thank you Mr P].

Two more works by Edward German. These were originally for orchestra...duly arranged for piano solo by the composer and beautifully scanned with thanks to Mr P.

Gypsy Suite for Orchestra arr. piano solo

German E - Gipsy Suite.pdf

Welsh Rhapsody for Orchestra arr. piano solo

German E - Welsh Rhapsody.pdf

Thank you for these! Great scanning quality!
Aside from the music, it is quite interesting for me that one can instantly recognize
the Novello/Chester engraving by some unique features like the "left-going" bass clef.

Hi all, I'm searching for a less known piano piece by Edward Elgar, "In Smyrna".
I listened to it in this beautiful video:

Could anyone help me? Thanks a lot in advance!
Best regards,

Hi all, I'm searching for a less known piano piece by Edward Elgar, "In Smyrna".

It is the first of these two pieces.

Please note that whilst Elgar's music is now out of copyright, this edition was first published in 1976 and I'm posting it on the basis of its being more than 25 years since publication.

Regards
Fred

Fred, thanks for the Elgar. These are pretty rare and rather unknown. Interesting ideas therein.

[lucamadeus1976]

Thanks so much Fred, that's wonderful!
"In Smyrna" is an amazing "elgarian" piece
Best regards,
Luca
