        I first heard this orchestrated on Public Radio [WSMC] and found it so delightful that I made the effort to find a piano solo to purchase. Probably the piece if more effective with the variety provided by an orchestra. However, I enjoy playing the piece and am glad to have...

        Achingly Beautiful

        Farewell to Stromness is a piece that will captivate you instantly - simple in construct, but just beautiful and with a wonderful message. This piece was written for what was essentially a protest against uranium mining that would have destroyed Stromness on the Orkney Islands where Sir Peter Maxwell Davies...

        Farewell to Stomness

        This is wonderful litle piece at a fairly slow tempo. This was a piece I heard on our classical music station and was quite taken by it. It's not hard except for a few bars that move to 4 sharps. I loved the melody - a little haunting. There is...

        Nice Piece

        I haven't played Yesnaby Ground, yet, but Farewell to Stromness is VERY nice. It's easy to sight-read if you are playing Debussy, Mozart, Chopin, Schumann, etc. It's harder the next time you sit down, though, because you start paying closer attention to the rythms, which are hard to do consistently,...

        Farewell to Stromness:A Legacy Forgotten

        Farewell to Stromness... the sad,piercing title brings a certain solemness. The piece itself, by Peter Maxwell Davies, is sad and beautiful. It brings back memories, both morose and joyful. Its smooth, calming rythm relaxes the soul and cleanses the heart. It is long forgotten by those intrigued by other music...
