Thanks, Carla.

Autumn by dirigent 2 years ago
Beautiful! I like especially how tender, traditional harmonies melt into a kind of desolate sonic landscape. The violin and sustained electronic sounds blend wonderfully! Works very well.
In Paradisum by mlpbadarak 2 years ago
Heavenly music. Beautiful performance! Reminds me of the close of Britten's "Noah's Fludde."
Habanera by byHeart 2 years ago
You're right about some problems with timing. I put the percussion in last and just got out of phase in a couple of places. But I just left it in, exposing "warts and all." Thanks for listening!

Vocalise by byHeart 2 years ago
I used for the chorus "South Aftrican Singers" from GB's World Music Jam Pack. You're right, it's probably not the best marriage for this piece, though that is what I had to work with. In any case, I appreciate your support, John!

Ancient Dreams by byHeart 3 years ago
Thanks, John. I can't say that I have any real knowledge of ethnomusicology either. I have listened to a fair amount of non-Western music and I guess it's bound to rub off here and there.

Trooper`s Serenade by dirigent 3 years ago
A beautiful performance, in every way. I like the way you play with the tempo each time on the refrain. In other performances of this that I've heard, except for the final refrain, there is a consistent drive to the final cadence. Your interpretation better underscores the message of the text. Thanks, also, for your information on the text. I had not known that the "voice" of the lyric is that of a German trooper.
Aleksandr by dirigent 3 years ago
I especially like the drama evoked by the random sounds of the opening and closing sections. Compelling work. Thanks for sharing this timely piece!
Sugar and Coffee by dirigent 3 years ago
Smooth as silk, delectable, enjoyable in every way!! Many thanks!!

(Interestingly I know the A section from my days as a music teacher of children. It was done as a round and with these words: "I love the mountains; I love the rolling hills; I love the flowers; I love the love the daffodils; I love the fireside, When all the lights are low. Boom-tee-ah-dah, Boom-tee-ah-dah, etc." It's nice to know the song's origins.)

Bed Farts by soulima 3 years ago
Great orchestra here, but also some nice harmonic shifts. I doubt if there is another example of this kind of "program music." But I may be wrong. Many thanks!
