Book 1features twenty-one pieces. Arranged over three levels, there are seven pieces within each level; Elementary, Late-Elementary, and Early Intermediate (approximately Grades 1 4). Included are works by familiar composers such as Elisabetta de Gambarini, lisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre, Anna Bon, Maria Szymanowska, Agathe Backer Grndahl, Ethyl Smyth, and Mlanie Bonis. These more prominent names sit alongside lesser-known, but equally interesting, composers such as Florence Ada Goodrich, Narcisa Freixas, Felicitas Kukuck, Marjory Kennedy-Fraser, Hedwige Chrtien, and Ivana Loudov.
One element which Melanie feel is important in any anthology is contemporary music. With this in mind, there are compositions by a total of twelve living contemporary composers over the three volumes. In Book 1, British composer Rachael Forsyth has written a delightful swing number,Soggy Shoes Blues.Australian composer Wendy Hiscocks has penned an energetic jig,Fig and Fennel, and British composer Samantha Ward has written a lively, fun blues work,Rockin Fingers. These pieces, alongside Melanie’s piece,Mirage, were all written for this series.
