From the Publisher

From Rio to Red Square, Mike Mower’s Musical Postcards features ten captivating pieces in different musical styles from around the world. Experience the thrill of Puerto Rican salsa, the magic of an Irish reel, the romance of French café music, and much more …

Available in editions for alto saxophone, flute, clarinet, trumpet and violin, each book contains melody lines with chord symbols to aid improvisation.

Every piece is brought to life with a postcard of essential background information and playing tips. A book of keyboard accompaniments is available separately.

Spectacular and authentic audio performances and backing tracks of every piece played by bands and musicians from all ten countries are available online.

 

A professional musician for 40 years, Mike Mower has played in orchestras, big bands, chamber ensembles, shows, jazz bands, and recording sessions around the world in classical, jazz, Latin, and rock styles on flutes, saxophones, and clarinets.

He has written concertos for international solo artists and orchestras and concert music for ensembles of all sizes – in addition to composing, arranging, and producing TV themes and commercial music albums.

His fun but challenging educational music has been enjoyed by a generation of younger players. The Musical Postcards and Junior Musical Postcards series (with accompaniment by some international recording artists too famous to mention!) celebrates authentic music genres from all over the globe.
