Admirers of E. J. Moeran’s music will all agree as to the ‘rare gold dust’ quality to his work, and lament its scarcity.

This is particularly true of his piano music, which often seems akin to the watercolourist’s art with its intimate and picturesque delightfulness.

And now, thanks to the skill of John Mitchell, we have nine ‘new’ piano pieces from Moeran! These are arrangements of songs, and, in their new guise, stand alone as piano miniatures – Songs Without the Words – and thus are sure to be welcomed by all players of this composer.

The strong melodic lines and individual harmonic schemes of the originals are never lost sight of, but neither do the pieces ever become over complex, and so both the professional and amateur pianist will find here further music of rare gold dust!

E. J. Moeran: Songs Without the Words is a collection of nine song arrangements for solo piano, pitched at pianists of around Grade 5 to 8 standard.
