Description

Moroccan Fantasy was originally two pieces I wrote in the 1980s, Shiraz and Gentle Dreams. Then in 1999 ‘star pupil’ saxophonist Simon Haram wanted a new piece so I wrote Moroccan Fantasy based on the earlier pieces, extending the harmonies of Gentle Dreams, and giving Shiraz more of a Reggae feel. Young Scottish saxophonist Rowan Hawitt then heard Simon’s recording and wanted me to make piano and sax reduction, so here is Moroccan Fantasy in various arrangements for solo wind instrument and piano. All the pedal, dynamic and tempo markings are suggestions only. All my music can be played in many different ways-the main thing is to make it your own and express yourself. Enjoy! (Dave Heath)
