Book Description
The All Music Guide says that pianist and composer George Winston is "among the earliest and most successful proponents of contemporary instrumental music." Here is the first songbook ever notating his beloved piano pieces. Winston himself picked the songs and cover art, wrote the preface, and approved every note. Features twenty of his most-requested favorites: The Black Stallion * Joy * Longing * Prelude/Carol of the Bells * Thanksgiving * Variations on the Kanon by Pachelbel * and more. Includes a biography, discography, and discussion of chords. First Fully Authorized Songbook Featuring Winston's Esteemed Compositions and Arrangements!
Reader Reviews
At last, George Winston publishes his arrangements of Thanksgiving, Carol of the Bells, Pachabel's Canon, some blues and lots more. You don't have to be a concert pianist to play any of these arrangements. Some of the music is "made" by the pedaling and sustaining of the notes - this is awesome if you ever wondered,"How does he get that sound?" The notation is clear and composed to the CD. This is a wonderful musical buffet of George Winston's styles and sound. Truly enjoyable. I do hope he will publish more.
