Treat yourself to hours of enjoyment listening
to the piano music listed below. You will be drawn in to the magic of Pat's easy, fluid playing, and
impressed by the variety of styles in these cd's.
"Jazz Images" was released in 2007. All of the tracks are composed by Pat for acoustic piano. They are classically
structured, but the content has strong jazz influences in both its rhythmic and harmonic
vocabulary.
In progress is a cd of eighteenth century
Portuguese keyboard music. Much of it has been recorded, and the rest should be done by the end of the summer.
It's unusual, refreshing music.
Several tracks from "Boulder Rags" and
"Mountain Images" as well as "Christmas in the Rockies" have been licensed for use on the Discovery
Channel, National Geographic Channel, Biography Channel, Comedy Central, Australia's Friday Night Live, and
others.
Interesting little tidbit: Pat
is the sister of Jamey Turner, glass harpist, who lives in northern Virginia and often plays his glasses at events in and
around the DC area, as well as with orchestras in the eastern US. Go to his site at
www.jameyturner.com if you're interested in seeing more. New development with that is that Jamey asked Pat
to write a piece for him to play with orchestras. He also wanted a piano part in it. He had a gig with the
Butler County Symphony Orchestra in Pennsylvania in October 2010 and wanted it for that. Their theme for that
concert was "water" - so Pat came up with a three movement piece called "The Water Suite". It is in three parts - Spring
Creek (named for the creek which runs through our
hometown in Montana), Summer
Rain, and The Mighty Colorado, for Glass Harp,
Piano and Orchestra. Twelve minutes in length, it was performed in Butler PA at their October concert, and
there is another performance slated for March 19 with the McLean VA Symphony.
