A Regal Renaissance

By Tom Gerou

EARLY INTERMEDIATE PIANO SOLO

With Optional Duet Accompaniment

Step back in time with “A Regal Renaissance” by Tom Gerou, an early intermediate piano solo that captures the grandeur and elegance of the Renaissance era. Written with duet accompaniment, this piece provides a rewarding musical experience for both solo and ensemble performance.

Students will explore counterpoint between parts, blocked intervals of perfect 4ths and 5ths, and expressive nuances such as crescendos, diminuendos, and hand-over-hand motion. The use of legato and staccato articulations, slurs, and pedal enhances tonal color and phrasing. Clear applications of sharps, naturals, and common time reinforce theoretical understanding while promoting stylistic awareness.

With its noble character and balanced technical challenges, “A Regal Renaissance” inspires expressive playing and strengthens musicianship—an ideal recital selection for the developing pianist.
