Lyrical without lyrics Hey there: I enjoyed this piece. Very contemplative but also expansive, like someone reaching for the sky. Fresh and expressive. Nice work. |

Peace, be still.... From the first notes of this piece, I hear a sort of 'conversation....' A child's plaintive, repeated appeals, very gently and lovingly answered and reaffirmed until, at last, all is resolved to assurance and peace. The notes are pure poetry--without a single word uttered. Remarkable. thank you :) Check out my latest song called the snowflake dances

Peace, be still.... I wish I were able to tell you how much the words you left here affected me. That this song was able to evoke the images you mentioned, that you used the word "poetry" to describe an instrumental piece... This means so much to me. Thank you so very much for listening and giving me the wonderful gift of your comments. I am very grateful. Check out my latest song called Just As It Is

Very Moving A rather melancholy piece, masterfully played. I'd forgotten how moving a solo piano can be, but this track brought that right back into focus for me. I'm just beginning to explore (and, tentatively, share) here at MJ, so I haven't heard a lot yet, but I doubt I'd hear much better than this. This is the 3rd piece I've heard of yours and, so far, my favorite. Thanks very much for sharing it. Check out my latest song called Shaolin Munk Funk (w/ musichead & awigze)

Amazing. Stacey, this is very gratifying to read. I consider a solo piano piece like this more intimate than my more fully orchestrated pieces, so when someone connects with this song it is rewarding on a deep level.

Thank you, Steve This song posted quite a while back - I'm glad you found it. Having access to a beautiful instrument in a church late at night has brought me many, many wonderful moments over the years. This was the first song I wrote on it when a generous parishioner bought it for the church. I'm pleased you enjoyed listening. Thank you for your comment.

Saymme says... Thank you, Lena. It's so great that you get to go to a church from the 1600's. My church is only 50 years old. The piano there is a five year-old Yamaha C-6, a 6'11" grand, which I love playing very much. I appreciate your commenting here as a birthday present for me. What a gracious thing to do...

Much appreciated It would take a keyboard player of your sophistication to notice voicings, John. I'm sure you are an excellent improviser, and I'd love to hear some from you. Here I used Ivory by Synthogy and Classik Studio Reverb by IK Multimedia, and that's all. I cannot take credit for the rich sound. All I did was play it. Thanks so much for digging up this old song, John. It's always a treat to hear from you, for whom I have such great respect. Check out my latest song called Just As It Is

Humbled Very pretty, as has been said, and profoundly moving. My first thought upon hearing the opening piano progression, was of the music of Mike Post; he's written beautiful piano themes for many, many hit tv shows. This is one of the most beautiful pieces I have heard. Perfect. Wow. I am humbled. Check out my latest song called Momma's Song

What an inspiration to read this... I cannot think of you being humbled by my simple compositions, Clark, but I am very grateful for your very generous comments. I also enjoyed many of Mike Post's great themes on tv (NYPD Blue comes to mind). What a successful career he's had... I'm very pleased this song struck something within you. That is very meaningful to me. It is I who is humbled. Check out my latest song called Just As It Is
