Music Meets Drama

  The year 2025 held for us the happiness of having the first volumes of Gena Branscombe's piano, violin and vocal music  published by One Eye Publications of Whitby, Ontario.  These are beautiful volumes that introduce musicians to her works. Recently One Eye Publications released additional volumes of Gena's music including two violin/piano works, three piano pieces and volumes of songs geared to Gena's family life. What beautiful volumes they are!   The near future holds more volumes of her music to be published - French Horn pieces and more violin/piano works.  Later there will be three volumes of art songs that singers and their collaborative pianist will love!  Stay tuned! With many thanks to Eleanor Gummer of One Eye Publications for her dedication and belief in the music of Gena Branscombe!   #BringingBackBranscombe

At times Ebay will offer wonderful treasures that must be purchased!  Two weeks ago Gena Branscombe's original published piano suite "In a Fairy Garden" appeared for sale.  Dedicated to her oldest daughter, Gena Tenney, who in 1915 was a four year old when Arthur P. Schmidt Company released it for sale. Obviously Gena knew her daughter's pianistic abilities when she composed these pieces. Fast forward 110 years to 2025 when Eleanor Gummer of One Eye Publications in Whitby, Ontario republished "In a Fairy Garden" with a colorful fairy cover appealing to children and adult piano students.  With many thanks to Eleanor Gummer for her dedication to publishing Gena Branscombe's music in the 21st century.   Over 100 years ago these piano pieces were charming and appropriate for young children or adults learning to play piano.  The same holds true today.  Music crosses the path of time to reach the depths of our souls. #BringingBackBranscombe
