A lovely little piece John. Beautifully expressed, and reminding us all that we don't need to belt the tops off the keys to say something of significance.

It is beautiful. I was sitting listening and got a little chill. Well, maybe it's just cold in here, I'm in New England, and the weather is turning to fall, but I think the chill was because of your music, not the temp. \:\)

Jeanne W

P.S. What kind of piano (or is it a keyboard) are you playing?

Thanks Jeanne. The piano on this piece is a Yamaha Grand.

Hope this one gives you another chill Jeanne.

John:

Whoa. I just listened to "Till Death Do Us Part". I also played it for my husband. His comments, first:

"It's a very effective piece of music, you get a sense of spiraling downward towards whatever. I could easily picture a movie with this music being played and seeing a well kept house spiraling down over the years through decay, from riches to ruin kind of thing. Definitely a downer."

He always "sees" things, visualizes scenes and such, in music. I invariably never do. I feel the emotion.

Your other piece of music gave me a chill, this one, likewise, is "chilling", but for a completely different reason. There are a lot of discordant tones here. This is not a happy piece of music. (A lot of my music isn't so happy, either. Now, I'm wondering if any of mine is this *not happy*. \:D )

And I'm wondering why it's called "Till Death Do Us Part". Sheesh. The marriage, relationship, whatever, was that bad??? Whoa. (There's that word, again.)

Very interesting piece, John. Thanks for posting it.

Jeanne W

Thanks Jeanne (and to your husband also).I often see images when listening to music too. In fact I need an image at the conception of all my pieces.

The title "Till Death Do Us Part" was sarcastically sadistic. I’ve composed many selections in the thriller/horror vain. I‘ve found interesting chord progressions generating from this concept.

I've composed several songs in this "horror" genre with lyricist Cal Francis DiFalco. I love watching thrillers and horror films for the music soundtracks.

Here's one of our horror tunes (a little creepy). Myles Loud is doing the singing.

"Dark"

Thanks again for your kind comments.

John

Hi John,

I know I'm a bit late, but I just wanted to write and tell you that I think "Remembering Her" is an incredibly emotional and beautiful piece. Partly all the creative compositions and composers (like you) that post on this forum have encouraged me to dedicate more time to composing and writing my work down instead of just improvizing. Thank you for the inspiration! Keep up the good work.
