Piano sheet music and MP3 recording.
This piece is my own arrangement/variation of an ancient Irish air called “Eire”. My version is derived from the opening melody of the folk song, which I developed and varied. Some of the ways in which I developed this melody included extending it and altering rhythm, meter and harmony, as well as instrumentation. “Erin” is the modern version of the name “Eire”, which is the name of the Goddess of Ireland.
This piece would suit piano players of grade 5 to 6 level and above, or any players who can read music fluently, have a few years of learning behind them, and feel they could benefit from being stretched in both their music reading and technique. Some technical challenges in this piece include changes of time signature, syncopated harmonic rhythm, fast semiquavers and challenging chord stretches. This is particularly good for developing flexibility and increasing span.
To help you decide whether you like the piece before buying it, you can listen to an audio recording above, or watch the video of me playing the piece below.
