Hitchcock-Heart Full of Leaves arr. Grimes-V/Toy Piano - Product Information

Heart Full of Leaves was written and recorded by Robin Hitchcock for his 1984 release, I often Dream of Trains. Hitchcock recorded the piece with acoustic and electric guitars, tastefully employing a subtle chorus effect to accentuate the refrain. The toy piano brings a particularly haunting effect to the refrain, but in absence of such an instrument, the performer can perform the toy piano part on a Glockenspiel or Crotales

Richard Grimes is establishing himself as a pioneer in the field contemporary/crossover performance. By merging the primitive craft of global percussion with the dynamic possibilities of contemporary chamber music, Over the span of his relatively young career, Grimes has worked alongside a growing roster of talent, including cimbalom virtuoso Viktoria Herencsar and Zimbabwean mbirist Cosmas Magaya in venues ranging from intimate performance spaces to Carnegie Hall. In addition to his compositional and solo performance efforts, Richard is a founding member of the contemporary quintet Cordis.

Very creative music

Comments:

Is this the same Richard Grimes that's in cordis? I have to think it is - because this arrangement has that funky yet accessible vibe that cordis is known for. This tune was originally written for solo guitar, but Grimes arranged it for toy piano and vibes. This was challenge for me logistically at first, but once I got the physical layout worked out, it was a show stealer. I like this arrangement much better than the original version for guitar.
