Now The Sun Turns Out Its Light

You know the rest, right? Good night, sleep tight….

One More Time…..

It’s me. Is there anybody in there? Just smile if you can hear me. Today’s song is by The Beatles and is called Piggies:

Here Comes the Sun

Actually, there goes the sun. But it will be back in the morning. Today’s song isn’t classical but it is still a classic. It’s not completely done, but I need to take a break. And this song needs to be out in the world now, not later. Here are my versions of The Beatles “HereContinue reading “Here Comes the Sun”

One More Song

Actually this is the same song I have been working on for the past 2 weeks, but it has harps this time around. Lots and lots of harps.

30 Bars Down……

For those of you who don’t know, re-harmonizing a song involves adding different chords to an existing melody. In this case there weren’t anyContinue reading “30 Bars Down……”

No Drums Needed

Below are two examples of a musical idea I have had for a while. It is the melody to the previous song, with some harmonies of my own. You will no doubt notice the contrary motion of the lines of music.
