Hisaishi Studio Ghibli Advanced Vol 1

Studio Ghibli Recital Repertoire - Advanced Vol. 1 brings together popular melodies from the poetic film worlds of Studio Ghibli in sophisticated arrangements for solo piano. Included are well-known titles from Howl's Moving Castle, Castle in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away and other Ghibli classics.

The pieces are aimed at advanced pianists who are looking for more than simple film music arrangements: The arrangements are concertante in style, sonorous in setting and make effective use of the piano's range and expressive possibilities. Melodic lines, flowing accompaniment figures, differentiated dynamics and pedal instructions make the booklet particularly interesting for auditions, lessons and personal repertoire.

With music by Joe Hisaishi and arrangements by Keiichi Yasui and Yoshihiro Kawaura, among others, this volume offers an atmospheric selection for all those who want to bring the unmistakable atmosphere of the Studio Ghibli films to life on the piano.
