简介

‘Peter’s Theme’ is a warmly expressive piano solo with an American feel and a melting melody. ‘Traveller’ is a rhythmic adventure featuring a melody in guitar chords with an exotic feel. ‘Himalaya’ is an expansive theme with lush combinations of electric pianos, strings, harps and synthesizer sounds which ebb and flow to the top of the mountain and back! ‘Berlin Train’ is a pulsating electro train journey through the countryside of Europe. ‘Reunion’ is a joyous 80s style ballad. ‘Tamboura’ is another warm memorable melody alternating an Indian tambura sound with acoustic and electric pianos. ‘Manhattan Chase’ is an exciting and acerbic sequence for full orchestra. ‘Forgiveness’ is a simple gentle melody which flows and resonates. ‘Liberty’ is a song instrumental featuring a flowing guitar theme and piano riff with a contrasting funky chorus. ‘Take me home’ and ‘Theme for an American Movie’ are both grand American sounding themes in romantic style – not a million miles away from the sound of John Williams or Samuel Barber. Steve Law (b.1973) is a composer and pianist from London. He studied music at Bristol University, receiving M Mus for his jazz opera ‘Heaven on Earth’ which was described as ‘a significant contribution to the genre’. Steve’s music is characterised by melody, expressive harmony and rhythmic drive, fusing together pop, jazz and classical influences. Musicweb International described his first CD of piano music as ‘kaleidoscopically varied works......engagement with melody, subtle shifting impressionistic atmosphere, jazzy syncopation….slowly burning passion’. He has made transcriptions and arrangements for musicians such as Rena Fruchter, Jack Gibbons and Geoffrey Stern which have been performed in the UK and United States. His transcriptions of Dudley Moore’s album ’Songs without Words’ are published by Faber.
