Description

A set of six piano pieces written in the style of mexican folk music.

When I started work on the Baja Serenades I had intended writing some practice exercises for myself. Starting as a piano student much later in life than most people, I found that the typical pieces for beginner level pianists lacked musical interest, while the standard piano repertoire was usually beyond my skill level. The solution was to write my own!

Of course, the composer in me quickly took over and the need to express musical ideas became an equal partner with the need to write pieces that would be within my grasp as a pianist over the next few years.

As a result my hope is that both students and accomplished pianists (and their audiences!) will find something to enjoy in the Serenades.

The audio sample featured here is of Serenade No. 2.
