  • Before becoming a singer I was first of all a pianist, even a classical one. After recording the songs for my new album I had some extra time at the studio and prepared a small arrangement on the folk song "Shenandoah" , with a special thought and dedication for Peter Hollens who has recorded that song twice beautifully.
    You can purchase and stream my original music everywhere on the web, two of my albums are online: "Beyond All" and "Dawn".

    Many thanks to all of you for your nice comments and your appreciation!! It means a lot to me. I have so many more arrangements and compositions to record, but I am constantly struggling with health issues. I am still hoping that some day it's gonna change. Don't hesitate to follow me and go check my other videos, covers and original songs . Love💟

    As a 50 year old beginner struggling along on piano, I can only say Thank You for this beautiful performance. That was amazing, almost impossible for me to believe somebody can play so fluidly and effortlessly with both hands.
    I never realized how difficult piano, or hand independence, was until I started playing. I wish I had started young. 😔
    Thank you again and wishing you a Happy New Year and blessings always in your musical career.

    I first heard this tune during childhood growing up in London, England. I think I must have heard it on an old western film? Anyway, now 67, I have loved it ever since. This is a excellent arrangement!

    This is the best i have heard from out there. I started playing the piano and piece showed up but I didnt know how it sounded. I spent a week trying to count until it sounded ok and then searched for how it should sound. Dontou have sheet music for this? I would like to buy

    • @lenacollinmusic

      No I'm sorry I don't , because all of my arrangements are partly improvized. This is my gift: I never play twice exactly the same, even though I also memorize a lot of what I'm doing. But writing would take me a huge amount of time and I don't need it. All my piano arrangements on my channel are partly improvized, and partly memorized. Thank you for your appreciation. You might like my version of "Fields of Gold".

    Ms. Collin,
    I’m listening now, August 18, 2022. Beautiful harmonies. This deserves FAARRRRRRR more views than it has received. Oh well, keep playing, anyway!
    You played this beautifully. 🥰

      Thank you for your appreciation, it means a lot to me!! I have many other piano solo videos, amongst which my own compositions and piano arrangements of pop songs. Most of them have been recorded with my phone, I would like some day to record all of these pieces in studio properly and release a piano solo album. Most of my life I was focused on singing, but I rediscovered my passion for piano.

    Really lovely. Would you happen to have a transcription? One of my favourite songs ever, and I’m still a ways from being able to perform this arrangement, but I’d love to have it as something to aspire to.

    • @lenacollinmusic
      @lenacollinmusic  3 роки тому +2

      Thank you so much :-) No I don't have any music sheet, I always play my own way after hearing the song I memorize the melody and then I try to find a nice arrangement while improvising. I can never play twice the same way. I also play my own pieces but they are all partly improvised. Please check them out if you'd like too (Resilience, Wind/Heaven, Romance, ...)

    Very nice. My favourite piano version is by Philip Aaberg. I can't explain what he is doing but the way he phrases the melody is very unusual, I think. ua-cam.com/video/Qo-XoSeqV64/v-deo.html
