More about this title

About the Composer: Rolf Lovland

Rolf Lovland is a Norwegian composer and keyboardist best known for his work with the Celtic Woman ensemble, where his compositions have reached millions of listeners worldwide.

Why we love this

This collection bridges the gap between serious musicians and those seeking approachable repertoire for performance or private study. The mix of standards, contemporary ballads, and film music means you'll find material that suits nearly any recital program, wedding ceremony, or casual performance setting without sacrificing musical integrity.

What to expect

This book is a journey through decades of beloved melodies, each one crafted to sit comfortably under the hands and voice. From the sophisticated romanticism of standards to the contemporary warmth of modern pop ballads, the collection evokes intimacy, longing, and the timeless appeal of a well-written song.

Who it's for

Pianists and singers at intermediate level and above will find this collection essential for building a diverse recital and performance repertoire. Music teachers working with adult students, wedding musicians, and performers seeking commercially successful material will appreciate the breadth and singability of these selections.

How to get the most out of it

  • Study the chord symbols carefully; they often suggest harmonic movement that can shape your phrasing and dynamic choices even when following the written melody.
  • Use the chord voicings as a guide to accompany yourself, but don't feel bound to them—adjust inversions and spacings to fit your hand position and the acoustics of your performance space.
  • When performing vocally, treat the piano part as an equal partner rather than mere accompaniment; let the interplay between voice and keyboard drive the emotional arc of each song.
  • Balance vocal projection with the printed dynamic markings in the score, especially in ballads where quieter passages need intimacy rather than volume.

How to use it

Draw from this collection to fill recital slots that call for familiar, emotionally resonant material; it pairs naturally with classical suites or more experimental programming as a palate-cleansing moment. Use individual selections for background music at events, or mine it for duets and accompaniment practice with singers preparing for auditions or performances.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading chord symbols and understanding harmonic analysis
  • Accompanying singers with stylistic sensitivity and flexibility
  • Interpreting lyrical phrasing across multiple musical genres
  • Managing tempo rubato and dynamic shaping in ballad-style compositions
  • Building a curated solo recital repertoire
