Moving This is a moving and beautiful piece, and would be so even if you had not given it a programmatic title. It has in it the seeds of a truly great composition. I like the lyricism, and your slightly unconventional treatment of harmony. I could listen to this over and over. It is far, far too short, though! It is slow and expansive, leading me at least to expect and wish for a longer, more substantial composition. It is as if an extraordinarily talented actor were to walk onto a stage and say "to be, or not to be; that is the question," and pause thoughtfuly, and then say it again, and then walk off the stage. He (the actor), like you, has the audience in the palm of his hand, and can play us like a fiddle (to borrow an old expression), but chooses not to. Aargh! I've gone on too long, but would not have done so had I not been so impressed by this! If it's any consolation, learning how to write more extended compositions is probably the biggest challenge for classical music composers, much harder than orchestration, or coming up with good ideas. Great work once again! Check out my latest song called Scarlet Nightfall

Moving Once again you're on the mark Clark. Just this weekend I've started to work with Garageband. I'm having lot's of fun and am feeling more confident about what I can do with it. I know mastering this and other programs like it will help me extend and explore my work more fully though a part of me enjoys and in some ways prefers shorter works that don't overstay their welcome. Yesterday was a beautiful day here in San Diego - a day off for us here in the USA to celebrate our country’s birth. I got up early looking forward to later going to the beach with my wife Debbie but I then I started to think about all those young men and women who wouldn’t be enjoying this beautiful day or anything else again. If only in a small way, “Fallen” conveys that then I’ve succeeded. As always Clark, thanks for your gracious comments Check out my latest song called The Orion Express - MJ Space Race 2009 by Bowman

poetry I am so moved by this... it's like the most beautiful musical poetry. No, it's better than that. Great work, sir! Ever consider having a narrator read a text to something like this? It doesn't need it at all -- works beautifully as is -- but it's just a thought. |

poetry Thank's again Rick. This piece moves me as well. It's short and not overly complicated but it speaks to me. Thankfully I haven't been directly affected by these wars but seeing all the sadness and tragedy that is happening today brought this music out.

poetry (I'm not Rick; the name's Morris, but most people call me Mo. Not a problem, just letting you know!) |

poetry I'm sorry about that Mo. Sometimes I check this at work and I'm not as careful as I should be. Still I do thank you for saying such nice things about "Fallen" and I hope you get into Garageband yourself and start posting some of your own work. I'll keep an eye and ear out for it. Best of Luck!

Welcome to Macjams Charles - a nice piece of music you have here.
Short and sweet. It's sad that "Fallen" had to be written at all.
