Like Chopin, Gillock wrote 24 preludes featuring all major and minor keys. The newly engraved 50th anniversary edition contains the composer's original notes, as well as a CD recording performed by Henry Doskey, who studied piano with Gillock while the Lyric Preludes were being written in the late 1950s. Friends for more than 35 years, Gillock designated Doskey as the "authoritative interpreter, and judge of authenticity of stylistic treatment" of his music. 36 pages.
Beginner Piano/Keyboard Instruction
(Willis). All eight volumes of the Accent on Gillock series in one collection! This newly edited edition features all 51 classic Gillock compositions in progressive order and are freshly engraved. A must-have for every piano studio!
Because of its Baroque style, 'Fanfare' points the way to later Bach playing and is perfectly delightful in itself. The short pieces with such story-book titles as 'Cuckoo in the Palace Garden,' 'Tapestry Weavers,' 'The Lute Player,' and 'Lullaby of an Old Nursemaid' can either stand alone or be combined into suites for attractive recital groups.

Lyric Preludes is an introduction to the whole Romantic period -- from Chopin and Schumann to Brahms and Debussy. Like Chopin, Gillock has written 24 preludes featuring all major and minor keys. But his preludes aren't just imitations of other composer's styles, they are valid, original works. An essential book for all pianists.
None
(Willis). An exquisite, unique arrangement of Happy Birthday by "the Schubert of children's composers": William Gillock. Adapted in 1987, the solo is romantic and lyrical with a hand-crossing pattern. It ends solemnly, but with a little wink! (You'll have to play it to understand.) Key: F Major.
The Contemporary Piano Literature series includes a selection of music written for children by Bartók, Gretchaninov, Kabalevsky, Prokofiev, Scott, Shostakovich and Stravinsky. In addition, the books contain pieces composed specifically for this series by Ross Lee Finney, David Kraehenbuehl, Douglas Moore, Elie Siegmeister, Alexandre Tansman and Alexander Tcherepnin. Short biographies and portraits help make composers come alive for the student. None of the music is so far in the vanguard that it is difficult to enjoy or understand.
