The Errollyn Wallen Songbook

Description

This collection showcases 12 of Errollyn Wallen's songs, including the new Christmas song 'Peace on Earth'.

'All these songs were written from my heart and in a state of grace. At last they have made the journey from my battered manuscript sketchbook where they were often feverishly scribbled down. I am very pleased to be able to share them in this book. Improvisation is an important characteristic of my performances. in some songs in this book I have retained elements of my own style of improvisation, particularly in the piano solos and in some vocal lines. in othersI have given a bare skeleton, designed to act as a springboard for flights of fancy. I encourage the performer, whether from a pop, classical, folk, or jazz background, to feel free to imbue their performances of this music with their own creative spirit.' -- Errollyn Wallen
