Michael Nyman's (awkwardly entitled) Big My Secret was written for the Jane Campion film The Piano. Despite the high praise the film received from both critics and the public, I disliked it. However, much of Nyman's film score caught my ear (e.g., the Heart Asks Pleasure First, Big My Secret, the Embrace, Lost & Found, All Imperfect Things, and a Wild & Distant Shore).

I gave up piano lessons around 7th or 8th grade (a group of well-meaning people inadvertently removed the joy of music-making). It wasn't until I was a sophomore in college that I gradually started playing the piano on a regular basis again. Big My Secret is the first piece I learned when I returned to piano, so it is personally significant.

If you enjoy this music, I recommend that you check out Nyman's music scores for Gattaca (one of my all-time favorite films), the End of the Affair, and Wonderland.

Since this comes up quite a bit on Youtube, the sheet music is available in The Piano (ISBN 9780711933224) and the Revisiting the Piano (ISBN 0711968845) music books. I prefer the selections in the latter of the two books.

The next piano solo I plan to post is Secret Garden's "Heartstrings."

Thanks for watching!

  • I don't think this song is awkwardly titled at all. It is quite appropriate given its context. Given its context, it is beautiful.
