Sally Gardens - Irish Piano Ballad

[ivalice1980]

Thank you for sharing this with us. It's a reminder of why I love music, and why I began playing piano nearly 18 years ago.

My dad used to be in a choir and they sang this song a lot. it was beautiful and this is even more beautiful than i remember. you play so well. I am contemplating walking down the aisle to this when I get married. Is there sheet music of this version available?

[idaveit]

@giantbee89 Thank you so much!

This arrangement is by Carsten Gerlitz from the book Celtic Lovesongs (Irish and Scottish Ballads).

Sehr schön und einfühlsam gespielt. Das E-Piano klingt sehr gut. Was ist das für eines? Ich habe das Kawai CP150 und spiele auch schon seit 40 Jahren Klavier. Von Carsten Gerlitz habe ich alle bisher erschienenen Notenbücher. Die sind wirklich schön zu spielen und nicht allzu schwer. Weiterhin viel Freude beim Spielen. Gruß aus Nürnberg.

@achim56nrw Ganz herzlichen Dank!

Das Studiologic Numa Nero ist eine Tastatur ohne eigene Klänge. Ich spiele damit ein Softwareinstrument namens Ivory (von Synthogy) an.

Liebe Grüsse

@idaveit

Vielen Dank Dave für die Information. Es ist also nur ein Master-Keyboard. Von Ivory habe ich schon gelesen, die haben auch viele andere gesampelte Instrumente, Orchester und Chor etc.

Braucht man dazu ein Zusatzgerät? Oder läuft das Ganze über Computer? Ich habe mir sagen lassen, dass es über Computer nicht synchron läuft. Das wäre wirklich eine gute Alternative zu meinem jetzigen Kawai. Schon allein wegen meiner häufigen Umzüge :-)

[idaveit]

@PCISFEAR This is great. Thank you.

[PCISFEAR]

@idaveit It was also my grandads favorite song. He died when he was 103 years old and for those 103 years it was always his favorite song. I made sure to play it at his funeral. When I hear you play this song it reminds me so much of him. So dont thank me man. THANK YOU!!

[idaveit]

@PCISFEAR I am very much touched about that. It's wonderful that music can bring memories coming alive again.

All the best

Dave

[Killua40]

How was the wood key? is it better than roland PHA II? yamaha GH? or other products?

[idaveit]

@Killua40 The Numa Nero feels fantastic to play, but the keys are very heavy weighted.

[TheRat2706]

i can picture tha lands already.

[Anonimus1111011]

Nice playing, pal! Where di you get the sheets? And how much did the piano cost?

[idaveit]

@Anonimus1111011

Thank you! The arrangement is by Carsten Gerlitz from the book Celtic Lovesongs. The piano controller is the Numa Nero from Fatar, and the piano software (library) is the Ivory from Synthogy (Steinway patch). About the costs: please refer at your local currency.

Kind regards

Dave

I'm learning this song at the moment, i want to be able to play it even more, now that i've heard your version!

[gunnarasgeir]

Great!!!

[kaybabyy14]

This song is beautiful, I've heard it many times at my grandma's house because we are 100% irish and from the United States, that's hard to come by. I've never been a big listener of strictly instrumental songs but this song makes me want to learn how to play the piano.

Thank you!

[idaveit]

Thank you very much for that nice comment.

[DudelsackOnline]

Well done !!!

[olavnvbk]

How do you find the feel of the Numa Nero keyboard compared to a real piano?

Great played, loved the dynamics :)

[idaveit]

Hi olavnvbk,

Thank you very much!

I decided to buy the Numa Nero because I wanted a feel that is very close to real grand piano. The keys are heavy weighted and the surface feels fantastic. But the program to create personal dynamic curves is not very elaborated.

[dergutegeschmack]

great! You play it very well - chapeau! greetings from the arranger

[idaveit]

Thank you very much!

It's a great honour for me to get a compliment of you. But most of all: I would like to thank you for your wonderful arrangements! I've got many of your Piano Lounge books and I love playing your tasteful arrangements. They are charming, with a lot of lovely details and beautiful voicings.

Thank you very much!
