Monday's Child (A Child's Blessings): Hal Leonard Student Piano Library Composer Showcase Intermediate Level

by Deborah Brady (Composer)

(Educational Piano Library). Can any of us resist smiling when we revisit the nursery rhymes of our childhood? Perhaps our love of music began with the musical quality of those words we learned as very young children. This collection of solo piano pieces for the intermediate pianist is based on the Mother Goose poem that begins, "Monday's child is fair of face ..." These seven short character pieces, written in a charming lyrical style, depict the various moods of each day of the week's child. Keys: C, G, F, Am, Em, D. Level: Early Intermediate to Intermediate Level piano solos (HLSPL 4/5). Some scale passages (1 octave); limited use of 16th-note passages; some syncopation; lyrical, Romantic style.
