I think this might be the best book I’ve ever owned.
I purchased it, really only wanting Be Still My Soul and Lascia ch’io pianga, but figured I might as well spend a little more for a lot more songs. My goodness, I’m so glad I did. Every single piece is absolutely gorgeous and so full of emotion. Incredibly satisfying to play through, and the pieces are fairly easy to pick up and play, with little practice. Still, they sound complex and resonant – perfect for gig music. Thanks Rhett for composing such fabulous work.
