Nobody knows you when you're down and out
It had to be you
My baby just cares for me
My Blue Heaven
I wish I could shimmy like my sister Kate
Same old lines
God Defend New Zealand

'You hold in your hands a book crammed with blind prejudices, foggy memories, rash declarations, unsubstantiated assertions and, quite probably, lies.' So begins Soundtrack, Grant Smithies' marvellously passionate, insightful, hilarious and always entertaining paean to New Zealand music. Smithies has written about 118 albums that he personally loves, music that he believes rises above the background noise to say something significant about the musicians who made it, and the place and time from which they came. It is a highly subjective selection, which does not pretend to be exhaustive or definitive. Rather it has been driven by a desire to shine a light on many of the lesser known treasures of New Zealand music; to uncover albums of equal power and cultural significance to many of the better-known recordings that are traditionally held up as seminal New Zealand albums. This remarkable collection of music is, not surprisingly,

Fifty-nine works suitable for pianists of preliminary to Grade 2 levels, some suitable for rote teaching, others challenging and adventurous.
A celebration of new sounds, new ideas, new music written by NZ composers from all over the world.
Gillian Bibby comments: “Here are games and dreams, rain and sun, dancing cats and mournful birds, dysfunctional machines, mice, a giant, dodos … here are pieces on one note, with variable time signatures, or irregular rhythms. Here are ensembles demanding precision and dreamy clusters with super-long pauses … here are pencils helping the pedal stay down, a whale’s slow glissando of a yawn, a knocking of the knuckles on the lid, interacting overtones to listen for … here are variations and a canon, ‘moments’ of music and longer songs, a piece just in fourths, another with parallel 6/4 chords … here is a pentatonic piece and there one with right hand playing just black notes while the left hand

This is reissue of Michael Jackson's second book, first published in 1992. 'People ask me how I make music. I tell them I just step into it. It's like stepping into a river and joining the flow. Every moment in the river has its song. So, I stay in the moment and listen' - Michael Jackson (1958 - 2009). "Dancing the Dream" is one man's hauntingly beautiful, provocatively personal view of the world around us, and the universe within each of us. Whether his prose and poetry focused on creativity, the people that surrounded him, or the plight of the noble elephant, his observations and concerns all illustrated his belief that trust, love and faith are the foundation stones for a life well lived. Containing Michael Jackson's personal writings and over one hundred glorious photographs, drawings, and paintings from his own collection, this book is a must have for all fans of an incredible, inspiring man who died as he lived - dancing his
