Iris Litchfield’s Life's Journey sheet music book is a collection of nineteen original piano solos from her 2013 CD release by the same name, her 2012 release Dream Clouds, and three uncredited pieces that I assume are new. Only six of the pieces from the Life's Journey CD are included because the other eight are new recordings of older pieces that appear in her two previous books, Sunset and Breath of Spring; ten pieces are from Dream Clouds. Iris’ music is not difficult to play and is written in a classical style that is easily accessible and melodic, often expressing feelings of peacefulness and calm. Pianists of upper-intermediate and early-advanced playing levels should breeze through most of this music. Dynamics are included, but fingering is not (quite normal anymore!). There are no stretches of more than an octave, and none of the rhythms are overly complex. I really enjoy playing this book and recommend it! It is available from Tutti (UK).
