About this arrangement

Piano Trio,String Ensemble - Digital Download SKU: A0.1023023 Composed by Jonathan Wilson. Concert,Contemporary,New Age,Wedding,World. Score and parts. 23 pages. Fresh Air #5038071. Published by Fresh Air (A0.1023023). "Just for Joe" is based on a simple four bar repetition originally devised on my thumb piano and played as a lullaby to get my infant son, Joe, to sleep. I later developed a slow melody, on top of the thumb piano continuo, sung with some (not very good) words. When out local amateur dramatics group put on an adaption of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" it was used as a song with Clarsach accompaniment during the scene where the fairy queen, "Titania", is lulled to sleep by the other fairies. Finally, when we put on the concert at our local village hall to raise funds for a new piano, I arranged it for Thumb Piano, Violin, Cello and Piano with a third line for the Violin in addition to the continuo on Thumb Piano and melody on Cello. The Violin and Cello were played by two very talented young players with the technique and skill to allow the un-amplified thumb piano to be heard against the Violin. Despite putting this together on the day before the concert, this was a real high spot of the performance and the atmosphere in the Hall was electric.Obviously a thumb piano is not a commonly played instrument so this arrangement suggests Piano or Harp instead of Thumb Piano. Regardless of the instrument I would suggest piano between bars 54 [G] and 71 [I] as this is the climactic section of the piece. I have provided the recording of our village hall concert as the first part of the audio track although there are some changes in the score itself. For this reason I have attached the basic audio output from my software after the acoustic version. I have also passed the midi file onto my son, Joe, now 18 years old, who is a a bit of a whiz with the Electrodance Music (EDM) so, fingers crossed, I will be able to attach his version although I doubt it is likely to put you to sleep!
