New work for narrator and piano
on: December 27, 2016, 01:53:15 PM
Hi! Recently I finished a new composition which is a musical story for narrator and piano and would like to promote it here, I hope this is OK. Please let me know otherwise so I can remove this post again.

The story is titled "Raoul's Rescue Mission" and is based on a children's book I wrote some 15 years ago. Although it's probably the easiest to be performed by two persons (a pianist and a speaker), I believe it could be a very interesting challenge to have the narration and acting out of the story done by the pianist as well. I saw this done with the famous Peter and the Wolf on youtube and it looks great!

There is more information about my composition here:

On this website you can listen to the full work which has been narrated by a friend of mine; the piano recording itself is a digital recording.

It seems that the player doesn't work in Chrome, only in Safari. I added a link to Souncloud on the website, here is a direct link: https://soundcloud.com/andrevanharen/raouls-rescue-mission-narrator-and-piano

Sorry for this.
