Five Pieces for Piano Duet

In his new album for piano four-hands, Mike Cornick recreates scenes in and around a quiet Devonshire village, reminiscing about his visits there as a child. Devonshire Sketches consists of five movements, all tonal, melodic and simple to play; very suitable for blossoming youngsters to perform with their teacher or another pupil. We start with a Country Walk leading us gently into the peaceful atmosphere of Stoke Woods. Then its Harvest Time with a happy lilting melody before we arrive, with slow, sombre reflection, In a Country Church- yard. Finally, we celebrate in The Village Inn and enjoy some folksy music that makes us think of morris dancers on the village green outside.
