    5 out of 5 stars Great book - Intermediate Level   December 30, 2009
    K. Armstrong (West Jordan, UT)
    This a great book for intermediate piano players. Enya's music translates to piano very well. Intermediate players will probably be able to play several of the songs right off the bat, but there is enough challenge to keep it interesting. Great book!


    3 out of 5 stars Poor Transcription of an excellent album.   May 30, 2007
    Kevin P. Costello (Atlanta, GA)
    4 out of 4 found this review helpful

    Although Enya's music is superb, the transcriptions in this book leave something to be desired. Part of the trouble is of course due to the difficulty of arranging music originally for multiple instruments and voices for solo piano, but on other instances it seems to be more thoughtlessness on the parts of those who transcribed the music. For example:

    -Several of the pieces, such that "Anywhere is" and "The Memory of Trees" are very repetitive. In the original pieces, the harmonies and background change over the course of the song. In these arrangements, each verse is notated exactly the same.

    -In "The Celts", a D.S. al. Coda is given without any indication as to what point in the music the player is supposed to skip to the Coda

    -In "Storms in Africa", there are sections where the pianist is asked to play three notes simultaneously, each of which is at least an octave and a fifth apart from the others.



    5 out of 5 stars Tienes 3 manos?   July 1, 2003
    S. C. Guzman (Guatemala)
    4 out of 10 found this review helpful

    Ingenuamente creí que al comprar este libro podría reproducir algunas canciones de Enya, porque pensé que eran muy sencillas. Gran error!
    Se necesita ser un experto en los teclados (o la guitarra) y algunas partes no me explico cómo pudo Enya tocar, pareciera que tuviera una mano extra.
    El libro está muy bien, tiene las partituras muy exactas y con bastante práctica y paciencia estoy seguro que es posible sacar aunque sea unas tres melodías.
    Suerte!



    5 out of 5 stars Enya's music creates a window into the soul   December 4, 2002
    M. Taylor
    2 out of 6 found this review helpful

    What I think is especially unique about Enya's music is that she creates a mood all her own and a sense of familiarity; as if revealing some hidden memory of the distant past. I feel her music creates a sense of balance and harmony, as well as the experience of being alive.


    3 out of 5 stars Release for the sake of releasing...   November 4, 2002

    Excellent gift for someone who doesn't own any of Enya's albums, but I think they could have waited to release her couple new songs when she had an album's worth. You can't throw this one in with Watermark and Shepard Moon's in a multi-disc changer and throw it on shuffle, you will hear the same darn song twice in a row!
