This little ragtime number began life as just a snippet, written as background music for a home movie years ago. For the hard core ragtime buffs, I know this is not quite syncopated enough to be true ragtime, but hopefully its fun and bouncy…
This song was recorded for the independent film documentary, "It/ll be better tomorrow, the life of Hubert Selby Jr.". Sadly, it did not make the final cut, but it will always be a favortite of mine.
A further march down the road in acl's evolution - and one of the many directions we've been dying to get to... it's, ummm, water-y. (And this song is especially dedicated to J Wentz.)
I wanted to start composing in the "classical" or "romantic" style for piano. This is the first movement of a sonata fantasia, its a sonata because it has three movements, but a fantasia because it doesnt have the exact structure of a sonata.
This song is romantic and sensual. It is written about the moon and is a love song of my wife and the silver magic of the moon. 12 strings weave their way through flutes and the kind of vocal you could make children with.
A seemingly nice man; a pretty young girl. The country forgotten, the people cold and without love. The protagonist is lost in his own thoughts. He sees the girl and falls in love; but she barely knows he exists. He begins to hallucinate about her.
