Beyond The Milky Way

Released in 2018 by Scottish multi instrumentalist, singer and composer Phamie Gow, ‘Beyond The Milky Way’ is gorgeous collection of uplifting and tranquil pieces that make the perfect accompaniment for a study session or quiet afternoon.

The album features beautiful piano solos and pieces for piano and string ensemble. McOpera (who are usually to be found playing with the Scottish Opera Orchestra) add further depth and colour to Gow's already rich soundworld and piano playing.

It is a real gem of an album that has a lovely feeling of joy that permeates each of the 11 tracks.

I adore Phamie Gow's music, not only is it beautiful to listen to, it is a joy to play too. It is demanding to play well, as it requires a lot of skill and good technique to bring out all of the nuanced details she writes.

If you are a pianist or harpist of grade 6 and above I really do urge you to check out Phamie Gow's sheet music, it is wonderful escapism to get lost in her scores. Let us know in the comments below if you do so.
