Rebecca Gillan
Biography
"Watercolors" is a marvelous collection of freely composed piano solos, each spontaneously inspired and created in the moment. Free composition is Ms. Gillan’s method in which the harmonies are created in the moment along with the melodies. Her style is one of classical melodies floating atop jazz harmonies, 4th voicings, major 7th(+11) that never resolve, and constantly changing key centers. These pieces all have a harmonic structure that constantly changes modality, never feeling a need to return to the original key.
