Kevin Kern Imagination's Light Songbook - Kevin Kern    Price: $19.95 A collection of all of Kern's original music from his seventh Real Music CD, Imagination's Light.  "All my life, I have drawn inspiration from the joy of sitting and playing a piano in a darkened room.  There is something remarkably pure and uncomplicated about a world consisting of nothing but sound and sensation.  When we turn out the lights in the studio, I begin to feel that undiluted creative energy that has been such a part of my life from the beginning." Kevin Kern It is in this special atmosphere that Steinway artist Kevin Kern's compositional gift takes form.  The Imagination's Light Songbook is a collection of ten original compositions.  40 pages. See Kern's accompanying album

Reviews

“Imagination’s Light Songbook” is the companion book of solo piano sheet music to Kevin Kern’s 2005 CD release by the same name. Lovingly transcribed by Kevin Kern himself, these pieces are as close to the recorded versions of the songs as possible. Kern encourages pianists to play the printed music along with the CD, but I think it’s more fun to play the songs just as they are in the book. The arrangements are full, very expressive, and not terribly difficult. Notation is clear and easy to read, making this songbook a joy to play. The only song from the CD that is missing in the book is Sting’s “Fields of Gold,” due to licensing restrictions, but the other ten pieces are here in all of their melodic glory. Although the music is not “terribly difficult,” it isn’t simple, either. Most of the pieces are suitable for upper intermediate and early advanced levels. More advanced players will enjoy how the music flows from their fingers. “Imagination’s Light Songbook” will be available shortly from www.realmusic.com. Highly recommended!
