Most of the pieces I write are relatively easy piano pieces for my piano students - here they are!

Menuet Update - Barbara Arens, Piano
I wrote this 'Suite Update' originally for the harpsichord, using the typical baroque dance movements - These are 2 quite simple little Menuets, the first with some French inégalité, the second a little more modern... This is the Piano version, as found in 'Two Suites for Piano' at Sheet Music Plus and Amazon www.amazon.com/dp/B0D6G5NNDF

Courante Update - Barbara Arens, Piano

I wrote this 'Suite Update' originally for the harpsichord, using the typical baroque dance movements - but this Courante has 3/4 and 6/8 bars alternating and overlapping like the Mexican Huapengo!

Sarabande Update - Barbara Arens, Piano

I wrote this 'Suite Update' originally for the harpsichord, using the typical baroque dance movements - I've given the Sarabande here some melancholy drama. This is the Piano version, as found in 'Two Suites for Piano' at Sheet Music Plus and Amazon www.amazon.com/dp/B0D6G5NNDF
Allemande Update Barbara Arens, Piano

I wrote this 'Suite Update' originally for the harpsichord, using the typical baroque dance movements - BUT giving them a twist. In this case, the Allemande has a definitive whiff of Tango added!

Hello Miss Barbara Arens, i have a question from my student on this song, grumpy gorilla. When we play, my student played left hand and sing the lyrics, i played right hand for him. When the end of the song, the last chord, it sings “yeah!” Then, my student turned his face to asked me “is it soft when you said yeah!?” We both think its not soft when we said “yeah!” I really need your help to explain. Thank you so much.
That sounds like a very cheerful piano lesson! ♥ There are definitely 2 ways of saying the "yeah" - loudly, but also softly with lots of enthusiasm.... 🦍
Nice
Wunderbar...das schaffe ich mir auch gerade drauf....danke.
I play this song
You're playing it like Chopin?
That wasn't quite what I had in mind... ;)
@@BarbaraArens the way you play Bach is very Romantic...
@@sibionic I play with pedal, because, as a former harpsichordist, you would be making as much resonance as possible by holding down the notes. Bach is so often played so 'dry', which is a shame, I think. Then I play with what might be called rubato - but think: Bach loved to improvise! Can't we play some - not all - of his pieces as though we were improvising?
@@BarbaraArens It was the rubato I was thinking of. I thoroughly agree with you about Bach and jazz. It's interesting how jazz musicians 'hear' Bach in a way they hear no other composer. And there's jazz 'in' Bach too - some of his music feels like transcribed improvisation.
Brilliant interpretation
❤❤❤❤❤
Fun piece great job! I remember piano lessons when I was a kid it was so fun learning this piece.
Awesome! Thank you!
sweeeet !
@AlbertGarzonProducer lovely piece isn't it!
beautiful... cant wait to hear some more.
There are hundreds more videos of my music on my TH-cam channel! :)
You play beautifully. May I comment that I am concerned about your right-hand 4th finger? It looks very swollen?
Well observed! At the time I recorded this it was swollen! (Also I think my wedding ring makes it appear more swollen than it was! ;)
You know what, Catherine? Thanks to your observation, I'm going to have my wedding ring enlarged. It IS swelling up my finger still! Thank you !!!
@@BarbaraArens ❤
Thank you for this delightful video. Ben Crosland has written so many beautiful pieces for the piano and his 'Cool Beans! (vol 1)' will enrich the repertoire of any intermediate player. His works remind me of Einaudi, but with much greater accessibility and variation.
Sehr schön!
Vielen Dank!
Muito lindo!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
loved learning this piece and playing it for the Grade-4. Do you have any other pieces for Grade5-6 levels? would love to learn those.
AH. This is such fun! Love it - so catchy!
I love it ! thanks for it!
Hey, I play your song and it is one of my favorites! However, I have some questions; when you composed the song how did you come up with the name Morgan Le Fay and which specific Morgan Le Fay where you thinking of when you named it, more of an evil sorcerous or the more of a healer depiction.
If you play this piece, you must have my book 'The Round Table Quest' - or do you have the piece in 'Favourites II'? I think it's explained that Margan le Fay was King Arthur's evil half-sister, a fairy/'Fay'), according to the legends....
@@BarbaraArens Sadly I don’t own a copy of your book myself, but my piano teacher has a copy and that is the book I used to learn the song.
@@BarbaraArens Some of the other songs from “The Round Table Quest” that I enjoyed were The Lady of Shalott, The Knight Prisoner, The Horrible Giant, and Merlin’s Enchantments. (I am not sure if I remembered all the names correctly) They all sound great, but these were the ones that stood out the most to me.
@@Video_Fiend That's fantastic to hear! I get so little feedback on some books. ♥
@@BarbaraArens Glad I could provide it!
A melhor interpretação do youtube.
haha, my guinea pig enjoyed listening too!
Awwww..... that makes a happy composer! :) !
Love this one for my students!
Oh - that's really great to hear - I think it's the first feed back on this particular piece I ever got. Thanks, Jo!
Какой позор! Ни фразировки, ни характера. Все legato, что там не стоит. И венец всему- полностью фальшивые ноты два такта подряд в середине пьесы. Последняя октава должна быть staccato. Совершенное неумение читать текст
Far too slow
Beautiful ❤❤still learning this..😊
Nobody has been commenting all this years because they still crying
So kind of you to say that!
Super mooi!
Beautifully played! Thank you!
Thank you! Gorgeous piece, isn't it!
i like this!
This was absolutely well done; one of my favorite pieces. Brava.
This recording doesnt get as much respect as it deserves
Glad you like it! It's a wonderful piece, though, isn't it!
So beatiful, it brings me peace. Thank you so much :)
Beautifull
Your performance is very imaginative, it speaks of a strong artistic vision. Thank you for uploading this.

¿Hola como te llamas?
Perfect
This reminds me of Satie's gymnopedie
I need someone to sing it
Where can I find this Sheet music?
Hi! It was supposed to be published by now... but hasn't been! So sorry!!!
Hi! This is so cute! Where can I find this music?
Sorry - I just saw this comment. It SHOULD have been published by now, but................
Wonderful! I am playing this for my kiddies at our autumn recital. We will hope for no snow. Thank you.
I just love working with old Scottish tunes! They have so much character! Good luck on the recital! ♥
❤
I’m playing this piece for a piano showcase audition. I really like it!
That's great to hear! Good luck on the audition!
Всё получилось прекрасно, боже, как же я обожаю это произведение
Отличное произведение, не правда ли!
I was stuck at the end of my “beginner” period, trying to learn pieces that were well above my skill level, and then I found your books and it has helped me advance so much. I just love the pieces you write and the pieces you cultivate. I still have a long way to go, but that’s part of the fun, it’s a never-ending journey. Thank you so much for your work! And long live MUSIC!
That is one of the most uplifting comments I ever received! YES! That's why I write music! On the way to Chopin & Brahms.....Thank you, James!
@@BarbaraArens thank you so much for your reply! I have several of your books, dreaming at the piano, spooky, vampire challenge, mysterioso, and wow. These will be my winter projects. My only criticism is I wish some of the pieces were longer! Cheers!
I like short pieces, miniatures.... ;) @@MusicIsSanity
@@BarbaraArens no complaints here! Love it all!
Lovely!
