Once Upon A Rainbow 3

This Intermediate to Late Intermediate collection beautifully completes Nancy Faber's colorful series Once Upon A Rainbow.  In addition to many colorful techniques including extended crescendos and diminuendos, subito piano, ruboto, two-hand gestures, and artistic pedaling, you will find pieces from different genres as well.  There is a waltz, rag, and rhapsody, just to name a few.



Musical concepts:
range of dynamics
accelerando, accent, Allegro, Andante, a tempo, calando, cantabile, con moto, espressivo, fermata, loco, Moderato, molto, ottava (8va), pedal change, phrase, poco, poco a poco, rag, rhapsody, ritardando, rubato, sforzando, slur, sonorously, staccato, subito, Valse.


Unlike the previous books in the series, there are no composing projects in the book. Only one song in this collection includes words, and none include duets.

The pieces are beautiful, challenging, and several pages long.  However, all are well done and would be good recital pieces or just for fun.

Song titles:
Rainbow Splendor
To Have a Rainbow
Shimmering Waterfalls
Valse Indigo
Crystalline Rag
Amber Rhapsody

You can find this at Sheet Music Plus for $4.50
