Enya A Day Without Rain Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I enjoyed the CD, and a little over a year ago I started learning to play the piano as an adult.I was a little apprehensive that this book would be over my head, but my piano teacher has already incorporated some of these songs into my "curriculum".The arrangements are a bit challenging for someone at my level of skill, but what saves me is that the tempo of these enchanting songs are slow enough that I can keep up.I am quite happy with this book.

Enya - Paint the Sky with Stars (Piano/Vocal/Guitar Artist Songbook) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although Enya's music is superb, the transcriptions in this book leave something to be desired.Part of the trouble is of course due to the difficulty of arranging music originally for multiple instruments and voices for solo piano, but on other instances it seems to be more thoughtlessness on the parts of those who transcribed the music. For example:

-Several of the pieces, such that "Anywhere is" and "The Memory of Trees" are very repetitive.In the original pieces, the harmonies and background change over the course of the song.In these arrangements, each verse is notated exactly the same.

-In "The Celts", a D.S. al. Coda is given without any indication as to what point in the music the player is supposed to skip to the Coda

-In "Storms in Africa", there are sections where the pianist is asked to play three notes simultaneously, each of which is at least an octave and a fifth apart from the others.

Enya - Amarantine (Songbook) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am an Enya appreciator, starting as probably most Enya appreciators began, with her album, Shepherd Moons.

Amarantine seems the closest match in quality to the unmatchable Shepherd Moons that Enya has produced.

Of course the above is about the CDs, not the sheet music.I buy the sheet music so I can play along (on French horn!) with the album, or grab a live pianist when I can, to duet with.

The book, like most music books, is not made for players who hold instruments.The binding resists opening flat, and there are page turns at bad times.I would like to see a separable solo part in song books - they are almost never produced.Some work with scanning or other copying could fix that, but the publisher ought to fix it.I would gladly pay a bit more for it.

Otherwise, happy times now playing along...

I have nothing of interest to say about the depth of the philosophy or psychology of the lyrics in the songs.This is sweet calming music with or without words.It is a good experience to enter such a calm state while attempting to tempt beautiful sounds to emerge from the business end of a French horn.

Enya - Shepherd Moons (Piano/Vocal/Guitar Artist Songbook) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The music in Shepherd Moons is easier to play than Memory of Trees. An advanced player could easily sightread the music; therefore, it is not a challenging book. However, the music is gorgeous and fun to play. I've been playing it every day since I bought the book last week.
