Hi Richard, the tuning I used for the Magic of Belief has much more than major or minor and I used almost all of the. The opening plays with the chords CDG, CEbG CEb^G (a "neutral" third about half way between minor and major) and CEG (except the E is a purer 3rd than 12 equal)
The main motive bottoms out at what my ears are telling me is a neutral interval against a D neutral chord (but I'm not 100% sure, I didn't work it out - could be D minor)

well this is a bit awkward, but i have been chatting with Nosda Cariad about the various plus and minus of sound settings ie reverb,,, sometimes i feel like i have used too much, as sort of a crutch. in this version the reverb has been toned down…

Richard, I have enjoyed every second of your magical journey through midi. It has been utter bliss to hear all of them together.
Congratulations on a superb album.

Dedicated to my sweet wife's loving mother, Millie, who is moving into hospice.
She is a very thoughtful person, centered on peace and justice.
The song has a guitar part that symbolizes her. The quieter echo part is Wally, who passed years ago.
Doug,, very beautiful,,, i just had experience with the hopsice network myself with my mother... Our experience was that they did a wonderful job -- with what is in fact one of the hardest of times -- for patient and family... my mother (for whom the song Geneieve is dedicated on this years RPM) anyway my mother once made the comment to me as we were sitting outside the home where she passed away,, she made a comment about how despite what was happening, she was glad and felt blessed to be meeting so many fine and loving people,,in fact she said she would not have wanted to miss out on making those final friendships.... anyway we found our hospice people to be very very special,, it takes a one in a million kind of person to do that kind of work...
sorry the hear of your situation,, my prayers go with you and you family
beautiful music Richard
the sun has set here on the west california coast,,, after a beautiful day,,, it's a great time to either make music or listen to it,, the glow on the mountains is a soft blue/white/green,,, a perfect time to think about and listen to this snack

wow,, just saw this on a comment,, ive never heard this,, where has acl been hiding this cool stuff? guess ill have to go looking through the back repertory,,i like the way this builds various instrumental leads over what is basically a simple pattern (that's ment as a complement,, that's what most of my stuff is about, or tries to be,,yours is really great)... very nice warm sounding clarinet? im not sure..... very well done,, ill have to go spend some time in your library
Last Christmas my collaborator and fuzzy inspiration Charlie passed over the rainbow bridge - he was very old for a ferret 9 or 10 years old. He was adopted from a shelter and remained a touch-me-not independent ferret all his life with us…

Stopped back for another listen.
Taceant ad preces motum heri an ..?
~... Así, como el eco pasado~
The pipes and the little Latin flourishes in the melody reminds my of Ennio Morocone. Only slightly though because it also sounds very unique :)
Missed this one too? What? How beautiful! Richard, you have a beautiful gift. w;-)
How did I miss this?! Gorgeous! w;-)
Welcome back, richard. And again, many thanks for your kind words. And yes, you are right about the strings/piano/percs blend.
I love this piece. There's something very special about it.
Overture indeed! Bravo!
This is a masterpiece!
Oh my, this is gorgeous!
Missed this one somehow. Gorgeous as always!
Richard, I have enjoyed every second of your magical journey through midi. It has been utter bliss to hear all of them together. Congratulations on a superb album. Cheers Bee
beautiful work here, Richard!
