Fand is delighted to present John Mitchell’s highly idiomatic piano solo arrangement of E. J. Moeran’s Lonely Waters: a ‘must’ for lovers of Moeran’s distinctive music.
Lonely Waters is one of a pair of short orchestral pieces (the other being Whythorne’s Shadow) that Moeran wrote in 1931 as Two Pieces for Small Orchestra. Both pieces are based on existing melodies: Lonely Waters on a folksong and Whythorne’s Shadow on an Elizabethan tune.
Unusually, Lonely Waters has a choice of endings, one of which involves a singer providing a sung motto to the piece. The new piano arrangement preserves this pair of alternative endings. Indeed, since the vocal line is almost entirely unaccompanied, it might even be performed by the pianist.
