Product Description

The main theme of 'Triadic Sequences' was written in 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic for a student of mine. He so liked the piece - with its simple diatonic chord progression - that he begged for me to me to make it a bit longer. I procrastinated for a while, but eventually added a couple of variations in 2021.

'Triadic Sequences' sits comfortably in the minimal / neoclassical style - not neoclassical in the way that Stravinsky or Prokofiev wrote, but more in the style of contemporary composers such as Philip Glass, Yann Tiersen or Nils Frahm. It is completely diatonic, in the key of C major - all white notes - with no sharps, flats or accidentals used anywhere. It can be played on an acoustic piano, digital piano or even a 66-note (5 octave) keyboard, but will definitely need a sustaining pedal to keep it flowing. Technically, it is pretty simple and falls comfortable under the fingers, although the 3rd variation does have some 2-against-3 cross rhythms. I have kept pedal and dynamic marking to a minimum, to allow performers some freedom. Hopefully, you'll agree with Arnold Schoenberg that there is still a lot of good music to be written in C major!
