Alamance CreekMusic, New Age and Romantic Piano Pieces and Free Piano Sheet Music

This is a list of my 1997-2013 New Age Pieces.

Below is a "shortcut" for links that will take you to the music without having to read formerly available text pages. If you want to dig deeper, I plan to furnish future comments on what the titles refer to from the year that they were new compositions.

In early 2011 I finished going over the 1997-2000 pieces and (if you have collected any of them before) please note that those with an asterisk* were revised the most, involving key or time signatures or modifications to the melody.

Keep in mind that they are NOT pop or rock, but are "piano music" for pianists, based on romantic and classical influences. Some are easier, some more challenging. I hope you will find something to enjoy.

Definition? "New Age" is an illusive term for an equally illusive type of music. Drawing from the musical influence of the Impressionists in combination with contemporary elements, New Age Music offers the performer a wealth of coloristic sound combinations. Compositions are usually "flowing and resonant" and interpretive. This contemporary genre of music often deals with natural phenomena and provides an impression of nature. It engages the listener to experience a feeling or mood, frequently one of introspection, peace and calm, or by contrast evokes feelings of high energy." - From Neil A. Kjos Piano Library

Historic Quote:"Sound has called unto sound and the forest is all one mighty harmony. Is it deep organ music that strikes upon my ear, while fainter strains drift lingering among the arches of the trees? Brief silence falls. The aery music wakens anew and all about me there is ...murmerings within murmurings. Every leaf has its own tongue; every blade of grass gives back its individual note." - From Francois Chateaubriand (Diary), quoted in "Appalachian Wilderness" with photos by my favorite nature photographer, Eliot Porter.
