New from Promethean Editions: Douglas Lilburn's Christmas Pieces for piano

These five collections of miniatures were light-hearted musical gifts presented to two of Douglas Lilburn’s friends between 1941 and 1949; together they give us an endearing glimpse of the composer during his years in Christchurch and immediately after. The final collection includes three pieces published here for the first time. Pianists of every level of ability will find something delightfully fresh to enjoy within this generous volume.

We are pleased to announce the publication of Vincent Ho's "The Twelve Chinese Zodiac Animals, Book 2" for .

This set of 12 Preludes and Fugues is available in two volumes (115 pages of music). Purchase both volumes together at a special discounted price for a limited time.

About The Twelve Chinese Zodiac Animals, Book 2:
The twelve youthful creatures of the Chinese zodiac introduced in Book 1 have now entered their teenage years, and the same musical material has been extended and developed in more complex forms to reflect a corresponding development in the intermediate to more advanced performer’s technical and musical maturity. Each animal is represented by a prelude and fugue based on similar musical material, which reflects an aspect of their character. These pieces will appeal to more advanced young performers seeking repertoire that bridges the gap between familiar and contemporary idioms.
