Secret Garden - "Nocturne" piano solo

Secret Garden - "Nocturne"
Music by Rolf Lovland
Arranged by me

"Nocturne" is the song that started it all for Secret Garden, and it follows the tradition of the Romantic nocturnes by John Field and Frederic Chopin. If you're a fan of Secret Garden, but you aren't very familiar with the music of Field and Chopin, I highly recommend you give their nocturnes a listen. = )

Using the score from the Secret Garden Collection book (ISBN: 0757937063), I combine the violin line with the piano accompaniment into a piano solo.

If you like this video, I invite you to check out my previous piano solos of other Secret Garden works. I plan to post Secret Garden's "Reflection" soon. After that, I plan to take a break from Secret Garden and post some of my piano solo arrangements of other contemporary composers' music. There are some other Secret Garden pieces that I adore (such as "The Promise," "Papillon" and "Hymn to Hope"), and I'll post those sometime this year.

Thanks for watching. Please keep the people of Haiti in your thoughts and prayers...

wow, very nice song...:)

could you do a tutorial for this song???

thank you so much for sharing...:)

[Rickmaninov]

@Myvalentines3 Thank you for the compliment. = ) I'm not sure that I can do a tutorial any time soon--I'm away from my piano now that I'm in school and I'm not sure that I could really make it into a real tutorial (unless you're just asking for an overhead view of the piano keys, which would probably be doable).

[Rickmaninov]

@Myvalentines3 If you can read sheet music, it's included in the book "Secret Garden Collection" (ISBN 0757937063) as a violin and piano arrangement. You can adapt it into a piano solo like this with a little creativity. I bought mine from Sheet Music Plus, if I remember correctly.

[pianopam1]

where did you get the sheet music?

[Rickmaninov]

@pianopam1 I think I bought it from Sheet Music Plus. The book was called "Secret Garden Collection," and the ISBN number is 0757937063. Highly recommended. It's written for piano and violin, but with a little bit of effort it's adaptable into a piano solo arrangement like this.
