Karen MacIver: Cyd Charisse [download]

For two pianos. From the PianoPiano project, a collection evoking the spirit of ten remarkable women.

Computer typeset score (16p) saved as pdf for immediate download.

Cyd Charisse is nothing short of sensational when she dances in the dream sequence of ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ with Gene Kelly featuring his iconic piece of chiffonography!

This music reimagines that soundtrack as she arrives on set, where she glides and improvises alone - later to be joined by a muscular Gene.
In this music they skirt around one another, on two different paths, until they find each other and are united in a Latinesque Bossa Nova.

Recording available on CD.
