    I just started working on the Prokofiev today! Here's the coda. I think it encapsulates the energy a lot of us are feeling - like a pent-up bottle, ready to explode!

    Hi Brother Green, it was great to meet you last weekend at the dress rehearsal and I'm really looking forward to hearing you play! This clip you've posted of the Prokofiev is awesome. I think it's so fantastic that you've kept up your cops while pursuing your studies to become a priest.

     

    Where and when will your upcoming spring recital take place?

      Hilda Hi! Thanks so much for listening! I'm still deciding on a date (with Covid...!!!) and the venue is a local church that always hosts my recitals. I can't wait to hear you play and all of your thoughts on music!! Prokofiev and the Russians are always inspirational for me, perhaps as Bach is for you. Be well :)

    Here is a fun improvisation I did on a theme of "Joshua Fit The Battle" for the online edition of my job as a pianist at a church. 

     

    Hope you enjoy :) xx

    Hey everyone!

     

    I'm completely changing this repertoire! I am notorious for doing this.... sometimes I've changed the repertoire the night before the concert... one time I was in a terrible accident, and had to change it two weeks in advance... at least this time, I have some time! 

     

    So, I'm now going to be playing a concert called-

    Russians: Favorite and Forgotten

     

    All music by Russian composers! I'm keeping the third concerto of Rachmaninoff on this program - that's a definite favorite! I'll be updating more and finalizing the new program soon. Thanks for all of your comments and support! I absolutely LOVE this community! 

     

    May God sustain your spirit and inspire your music. Hope you are all doing well.

    XOXO

  • Wow. What a repertoire to work on! Rach is now limited for my reach and I hope that I can explore more of his works in the near future.

    Hi everyone, 

     

    After a debilitating couple of months suffering with psychical/spiritual transformations and transfigurations, I finally had energy enough to practice, and learned this piece today. I hope you enjoy. It is by Medtner, a Russian composer who I hope is becoming more well known. He certainly deserves the same attention as Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, and other prominent Russian composers (in my opinion)!! Thanks for listening. I do hope you are well. Thank you for all of your support and encouragement. 

     

    May you be always in the presence of peace which transcends all of our understanding, 

     

    Brother Will +

      Brother Will Green Please, if you haven't heard them, check out the whole set of these Forgotten Melodies, along with Medtner's many sonatas. They're fabulous!! xo

      Brother Will Green , thanks for sharing.  Sorry to hear you're going through some things ( I think we all have things we need to go through in life). But hopefully your piano playing brings you some joy.  You play so beautifully.
