A Day in the Country

A Day in the CountryAlan Ridout's collection is inspired by various activities enjoyed on a day out in the country. Gathering together a variety of moods and styles from the lovely cantabile movement 'Whistling to the sky' to the rather more energetic 'Running round a field', the album's varied repertoire will have immediate appeal for both pupil and teacher alike and, with its simple piano accompaniments, will provide invaluable teaching material.
