From The North

Inspired by the Northumbrian pipes, this piece uses ‘open fifth’ drones in the left hand, against a soulful melody in the right. The melody should have some rhythmic freedom for expression.

Selected from Grade by Grade - Piano Grade 1. The Grade By Grade series draws on the rich and varied Boosey & Hawkes catalogue of classical, contemporary and educational repertoire, highlighting composers including Serge Prokofieff, Dmitri Shostakovich, Karl Jenkins, Carol Barratt and Christopher Norton, alongside arrangements of traditional music from around the world by Peter Wastall, Vera Gray and others. Carefully selected by Iain Farrington, this practical anthology provides the complete repertoire resource for the aspiring Grade 1 pianist.
