Anyone who had a heart (Burt Bacharach and Hal David) - The Janet and Alan Bullard Piano Series
Hi Mr. Bullard. The notes you played in M7 differ from those in the book. You played CEGBA. While the book says CEGA. Is this a publishing typo or should we play as written. Am asking because I have ABRSM exam students who are also listening to your recording and I wanted to explain the discrepancy. (For the record, C7 to A sounds prettier IMHO)
My error - it should be as in the book.
@@bullardmusic OK - Great! Thanks so much for clarifying and for the quick reply.
Thanks. Maybe it's difficult to do it, but with camera a little bit higher, video would show the edge of the keys.
Precioso. Debiste poner la partitura. Gracias!!!
I really enjoyed your performance. Thank you!
Thank you, Jane!
Lovely
Well done!
Wow! I really love the sound of this. I'm approaching the end of Pianoworks book 1 and after hearing some of these pieces, I'm looking forward to book 2. I just hope the learning curve isn't too steep!
Is this Janie playing?
learning this now very nicely played, wish more pieces from this book were on yt
From a friend who is Cypriot: "Interesting, I'm used to hearing them with a violin and bouzouki. Wish they'd refer to them at Cypriot rather than Cyprian though. Sounds odd." Just thought you should know.
💚
So needed message in these days and always. Every of us counts.
As an adult beginner making my way through Pianoworks 1, this piece took me almost two weeks to fully learn properly. Very much a threshold piece for learning hand movement.
This is a beautiful gentle verse anthem setting of a poem for worldwide reconciliation. It will surely assist in promoting international brotherhood.
Beautiful valse. Bravo
Thank you for adding this piece, sounds brilliant, could you play travelling blues, from same book, would be great to hear the timing, I’m trying to learn through this book, and great to hear.
Hello Zoe, and thank you for your comments! There is a recording of Travelling Blues on the CD that comes with the book - but I will put one up on RUclips as well in the next few days.
More than twenty years ago I have played this piece with my sister and two musical friends and what a nice piece this is! I also have a lot of fond memories of the performances (in Greek goddesses' clothes) :-)).
Thank you! I would have loved to have seen this! A.
great :) may you share the sheet music?
The sheet music is here: www.amazon.co.uk/Pianoworks-Collection-pieces-older-beginner/dp/0193355833
Nice
Very nice choir, I love it so much, many many thanks for sharing 👍 👏 👏 👏 👍

You haven`t aged much since I last saw you in the 90`s!!
ah, but maybe in the last three years.....
Please cld u do prelude no. 8 by Alan bullard
you can hear it - along with the others from Set One, at ruclips.net/video/krIjVhqm2d0/видео.html
You could have moved the pencils
It's a pretty piece. Some light relief at this time! Thanks, Alan.
Thanks for listening, Terry
Lyrics would have been good, at least in the description below.
Yes, they would - sorry. I will update this video at some point including lyrics.
@@bullardmusic Hey no apologies needed! Thank you!
Very evocative of the scenes depicted. A most sensitive and approachable composition with a touch of sprightly humour in the final movement.
Stunning & from memory, but why not with young brilliant memories
Lovely singing, well done
Thank you for these Alan. Your playing of the middle one in Kieran's memory made me cry. I love all three of them.
Thank you, Colin. I think Kieran would have liked to have been thought of in G sharp minor....
@@bullardmusic Yes. Very appropriate!
1) This beggin in a sort of fugue, maybe canon, some themes are evolveing in a strange and really particular way, the improv is well structured, theres some cuts to play some notes, I can ear sometimes super good note sequences. 2) it begins easly, then some complex -maybe 7th- chords, again, the theme come again, and after that, chords, this is structured nicely, this 2nd improv is calm. It continue to evolve to finnish on 4 chords, 3 low and 1 high, pretty complex, it's kind of jazz 3) Speaking of Jazz... Again, the melodie is complex, well mastered, sound like a film music, sometimes 2 same melodies on both hands, somtime, a rich blend between the melody and the left hand, I didnt speak about the rythm, it's awesome, and kept perfectly as long as the music is during, there are some break with up and down the scale, and it ends well with the rest of the melody I can just say, *well done!* The rythm, the melody, the left hand, the music made by the 2 hand work, all this stuff is perfect and really nice to listen. How long have you been playing piano and training improvs? I wonder if one day, I'll be able to improvise music like that^^ PS: sorry if I don't speak rly good, I'm french
Very interesting hearing this performed by the composer. Differs a fair bit from my own take on this delightful short piece. I took a more liberal view of the tempo markings when I recorded it in December 2015 :) ruclips.net/video/1h2gLPqZtZg/видео.html
I enjoy your performance - the extremely slow tempo and the lovely Cavaille Coll sound-set make me think I'm in a big cathedral - whereas my recording just makes me think I'm in my living-room! Alan B
Like this if you are a St. Mark's chorister.
10:39 there is a rose tree, absolutely beautiful
I've ordered my copy Alan!
