Description:
This piece was inspired by a couple of trips to the Lake District in Northern England, once home to famous poets like Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Southey. A less known fact is that the great essayist and art critic, John Ruskin, also resided there - and it was from these banks that he championed the poor working class and attacked the laissez faire attitude of the day. This piece attempts to capture the idyllic and pastoral setting - with very slight currents of unrest pulling at junctures. Hope you enjoy it.

Love the strings. Really not an expert in this genre, but sounds nice to me. Classic classical.

hello daniel &mdash 05/14/08 - 08:19:29 AM
have indeed captured the feel of your description ... i am so impressed with the "composer" talents on this site and you are one of the most amazing .. when the strings came in it took me totally away ... the play between them and the other instruments including the percussion is brilliant ... and i use the word correctly my friend ... Brilliant! [ Reply to This ]
Gawsh! &mdash 05/14/08 - 01:27:18 PM
I'm very flattered by your comment - but I think there are many composing talents to aspire to ahead of mine. I really do appreciate you compliment though - and look forward to hearing more of your music. [ Reply to This ]

Hey!!! You captured this real good
I have indeed been to the lake district and went
inside Wordsworth Cottage and Beatrix Potter's It was a fantastic experience
I have a picture taken outside one of the' Famous Cottages' I think it was Wordswoth.
Samual Taylor Colleridge Wow I am not familar with John Ruskin though Championing the poor working class .Interesting Fact.
It was many years ago. When I went there. The music you created is fantastic LunaTrick
Thank you for bringing most of that lovely memory back of that one and only visit. So far, I will go again hopefully one day.
I recall sitting in a rowing a boat on windermere lake too.
I won't mention the Guy I went with at that time. That bit fits with the 'Down Side'- with your slight currants of unrest pulling at junctures.
Lol
Peace Dee xx

It's a magic place isn't it? And I forgot about ole Beatrix and her tit-mouse stories! Yes, rowing around Windemere - with me packet of Twizzlers and Ribina - I miss the old country at times! Thanks for sharing in the memory with me! [ Reply to This ]

it is a cascade &mdash 05/14/08 - 10:38:09 AM
it is a cacaphony of countryside. it feels like a stream, then a hillside of animals. then there are birds. and clouds. and a small forest path. it is heard in the music, and it is seen in the mind. it is almost peaceful. however there are constant surprises, and distractions. it feels like home. it is a great music piece. 0x0 [ Reply to This ]

Thanks &mdash 05/14/08 - 01:36:17 PM
It took me a while to get adequate sounds - and I'm still tweaking. I find the keyboard responsive enough - but the orchestral sounds in the software don't always have the right timbre or natural reverb. Just keep playing with the settings and listening to your mixes on different speakers. [ Reply to This ]
great &mdash 05/14/08 - 12:39:20 PM
this is so well conceived and performed. very impressive. i really love your classical side. you have a way with creating something monumental. great job. [ Reply to This ]
Thanks Michael &mdash 05/14/08 - 01:38:38 PM
I take pleasure in your comments having listened to some of your wonderful stuff. I still hope to allure you with my other non-classical side though... [ Reply to This ]
Luna &mdash 05/14/08 - 09:23:37 PM
This is a very interesting piece. I definitely heard the unrest in there. There were little bits that reminded me of Beethoven's Pastorale Symphony....the idyllic. It seemed to me, especially at the beginning, that the panning and positioning of the instruments was way off. All of the strings were in my left ear for whole first half of the piece and that was a bit distracting. I think maybe spending some time on spreading things out a little might really bring this piece together. I was kind of hoping for more of the idyll and a little less of the championing..but that's because I'm a romantic at heart and my visit to the Lake District was amazingly beautiful. I love the story/history you gave along with the song. Overall I think this has great potential and really tells a story - both in the compositional choices and in the instrumentational ones. LOL Hope all that makes sense! Good work again - thanks Luna! [ Reply to This ]
Thanks for your words &mdash 05/14/08 - 10:47:51 PM
I take your point about orchestral positioning - and I'm striving for depth of field along with proportioned panning. As I've said earlier, few achieve exact verisimilitude - but we all keep trying! [ Reply to This ]
Lost Language &mdash 05/14/08 - 09:23:53 PM
You're one of the few who can so successfully genre jump. This is really impressive as a classical piece, well constructed, thoughtful, interesting. Great work Luna! [ Reply to This ]
Thanks Karen &mdash 05/14/08 - 10:49:13 PM
Perhaps if I would stay in one genre, I'd be more successful though. Still, I love to roam. [ Reply to This ]
Use to play &mdash 05/17/08 - 03:52:06 AM
flute so I like this one very much. Wife is now learning Japanese flute so I will play this for her. And love the classical elements - as always deftly done! [ Reply to This ]
Please do &mdash 05/18/08 - 10:37:35 AM
Play it for her. And perhaps use her flute on your future recordings! [ Reply to This ]

Ah Sweden... &mdash 05/25/08 - 01:23:52 PM
Perhaps we will do a Swedish piece in your native language someday... that would be wonderful! [ Reply to This ]
Very fine &mdash 05/23/08 - 07:40:53 AM
It reminds me a bit of "The girl with flaxen hair" at the beginning, although a whole tone lower... but as it unfolds, it quickly develops its own unique character. Speaking of unfolding, I like the way it does, with the addition of the second flute, then violin, tambourine, remaining strings, which take it in a different harmonic direction, and when the trumpet figure comes in it seems like just the right thing to have there.
However, it feels to me like you repeat the strings plus trumpet fanfare-ish figure a bit too much.. obviously this is a matter of personal taste, but I think it might be interesting to try changing something during this repeated section, like subtly changing harmonies, or rhythmic changes, overlapping entries, or perhaps even a hocket effect.. Just a thought.
Anyway, I think this is very fine work!

from a very fine musician - makes it all worthwhile. Can't wait until you post more of your work. [ Reply to This ]
Magnificent &mdash 05/28/08 - 08:48:15 PM
arrangement and score. As a frustrated English Literature major from back in the college days I long to visit thise place to walk the same paths of the great wordsmiths.
You are sure right about the currents of unrest, wow, those major/minor battles are quite complex.
