Description
This is the first movement of a six movement symphony I'm working on. I am teaching myself how to play piano and compose on a Kawai ES1 keyboard, and I've incorporated some of what I've learned into this piece.

Great symphony intro
This is a great intro for a symphony. Sounds like you are giving Tom
Atwood some competition ... or company, depending on which angle we
see it from.

Looking forwards to hear the next! ...

Great symphony intro
I'd rather be in company with Tom. There is no way I could compete. I'm a rookie
in comparison.

Thanks so much for your comment Curry. Great to hear from you.

God bless,

Rick

Great symphony intro
Very interesting use of loops, Rick. I especially like the opening line of this
piece, which I am guessing is NOT loops? It is a very nice piece. I look forward
to hearing the rest of your symphony as it develops.

Great symphony intro
Hi Tom! I was hoping you would stop by for a listen. I tried to integrate the
loops and my own playing so that they would be indistinguishable. It's not easy
because I've never played keyboards before. But I'm learning!

Your kind comments, along with those of others whom I consider masters of
composition, make my heart glad.

God bless,

Rick

music to my ears...
You did all that on a keyboard? Wow. I need to learn this stuff, or at
least try it. Amazingly good. I can feel the power of God creating the
heavens in this piece. Thank you for sharing it with us.

I only did some of it on keyboard; piano and strings mostly. I'm still learning and
have a long way to go. The rest was done with GarageBand loops from Jam Pack
4.

Thanks for the nice compliment.

God bless,

Rick

I'm not too familiar...
...with the loops from JP4 (they take up SO MUCH HD space), but you
seemed to have integrated your live playing with the loops you chose,
very well. There is organization, and definite moods set. It will be
interesting to see how this progresses into the five remaining parts of
your symphony. You may just be able to play more ... and loop less!

Thank you Al, for taking a listen and commenting. It means a lot to me. Yes, I do
hope to play more for the second movement. Learning the piano on my own is
going well. Who says you can't teach old dogs new tricks? :-)

Thanks again, and God bless,

Rick

What Roxy said!
I don't care how you did it (actually I do!), but I'm overjoyed that you did.
What an interesting and inspiring piece. I may have to give up my online
name and surrender it to you!

What Roxy said!
Ha, ha, thanks Mike, but I am lousy at conducting. All I know what to do is wave
my arms around. :-)

God bless,

Rick

Hi Rick
Hi Rick, you mailed me and asked for a translation. Seems like Sunbeam has learnt to get around on her own on internet, and it seems like she has been around quite a lot these last days of Christmas vacation. Here is the translation:

what a good song you have done good instrument you have had also

intricate
and so well done. The patience this must have taken! Well conceived and executed. The piano sounds good...is that you playing?
Jam packs stuff sounds great. Nice selection and arrangement of clips.

Re: intricate
Thanks for the visit and comment ktb. Yes, some of the piano, and some string work, is me on my keystation 61es. Although I can't play, I had to improvise in places where I couldn't find a loop that said quite what I wanted to say.


God bless,

Rick
