* Ghost Town Suite: Ten Intermediate Piano Solos, by Heather Morris. The Willis Music Co. (P.O. Box 548, Florence, KY41022), 2006. 31 pp. $6.95. Early to Mid-Intermediate.
Ghost Town Suite is the second collection of solos composed by Heather Morris and published by The Willis Music Company. Morris has composed an engaging set of pieces that is sure to appeal to the youngest intermediate students, as well as teenagers and adults. In the introductory notes, Morris writes of her fascination with ghost towns and provides program notes for each song that conjures up vivid images of sunsets, dancing, mining, fossils and old theaters.

The inherent expressive quality of each composition is enhanced by an edition that is easy to read and contains excellent fingering and expression marks by the composer.
Among the appealing features of this collection is Morris's unique use of harmony, interesting rhythms, and use of texture that ensures involvement ...
