"Christmas Chimes" (Composition for 2 pianos)
on: November 28, 2010, 05:23:14 AM
Hi,

I've recently written a piece for 2 pianos: a potpourri of Christmas melodies in my own rendition. I'd love to get your impressions. The piece is 10 min but I couldn't make it available in its complete version since it is sold on online stores, so I did a condensed 4 min version of it, enough to give an idea.

Thanks!

Really lovely!  Very fine writing, indeed!  I'm preparing some two-piano works for next year.  Too bad the period is June-July!

Thanks a lot!

Yes, for this year the ship has sailed... but I'll have the music available in the first half of of 2011. I'd also be glad to take names for interested people in the sheet music.

Just want to update. Currently a dozen duo professional pianists are planing to perform it, and the world premiere will be this Saturday Dec 10 (or was Dec 10th if you are reading this after the 10th), in Montreal at Vincent D'Indy performed by the duo pianists: Julia Valero/Fernando Saint-Martin. So just wanted to mention this. 

And PDF sheet music is now available.

Thanks.



Enjoy!

Guy
