about Winter Nacht
each year for the past 4 RPM cycles,, i have known a friend or loved one who has passed away... throughout history winter has been a time when sickness and death creep a little stronger amongst us..... perhaps because of these…
Mesmerising.
(The night Bethan was sitting in Lichfield Cathedral listening to those awesome voices, I was having her grandchild 250 miles away! Just a little trivia for you there...)
Four years ago, I sat alone in Lichfield Cathedral, the night before my son's wedding and listened to the choir. It was spellbinding.
You have taken me back there. Thanks!
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

Artist's description:
Many years ago a brave soul uploaded several recordings of his sister's recital to a newsgroup I created for amateur musicians. I asked for, and he gave, permission to use the recordings. Well…
Thinking of Bill Williams - the original singer for Harlequin until his dad, an extremely strict police officer, pushed him too far...
Harlequin was the main name for the band we had in high school.

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…
very interesting,,, thanks for the link,, i see that the musette is an instrument similar to hurdy gurdy or bagpipe,, what i read is quite interesting i assume this is synth? if so which are you using?? im on my 4th listen,, it's a fun piece.. well done Richard
very cool,,,,, actually only a few K yes? been a few years since i was in astrophysics,,, actually i am a physicist by trade geo rather than astro,,, but hey,, this is a fun piece
A+,, an interesting visit to the keyboard of imagination,,, i think this is my favorite of your sonatas that i have listened to,,, On a personal note,, since i have been listening to your music, and some of the other piano work on AT,, i have decided to try my first sonata,,, we will see that that turns out,, anyway well written/done R
