Lucifer's Banjo and other pieces for piano

This collection of piano pieces is an eclectic mix of short works composed over a number of years. Butler's idiomatic writing for the piano is instantly appealing and captures a wide variety of moods. His musical language is at times playful, humorous, and parodic, with characterful melodic gestures and jaunty rhythms; at other times it is serene and lyrical. From the charming miniatures of Small Change, to the motoric energy of Lucifer's Banjo or the beauty of Nathaniel's Mobile, this is a collection for those seeking new, interesting contemporary repertoire that is above all rewarding and hugely enjoyable to play.
