BillM, the fishbowl wasn't distracted. Nice take. The singing puts you hands down over peterws, but you did get crazy at the end.

I've been focusing PW time listening to e-cital submissions lately - so much wonderful music!

Here's an audio clip from the other night I added to my folder - a very short idea, with ample sustain pedal.

Glen

Very nice, Glen! I am amazed at your ability to just sit down and create something as beautiful as this.

I like that too Glenn...it seems you have a few sections in this piece, that could be developed into pieces onto them selves.

Geln - Yes, I agree with Mark. There's something in there to develop.

You play beautifully, full of presence, on a really nice piano! I`m just about to find out what it is . . .Heck, yer not saying!

Inlanding, is that an improvisation? If so, it has some strong melody.

Somebody on the Recital posting wanted to hear the full piece that I`d done (I only submitted the first part) so here it is, if you have a minute or six to spare (you can fast forward to the half way point if desired).

A reflection on life maybe.

Lots of great music so far. The piano bar sure has been busy.

Here's my own arrangement of Just As I Am. I did not put a lot of work into it or spend that much time on it but it still turned out okay. Hope you enjoy!

pertersw - the full piece is good. I like the shift in mood.

ladypayne, nice arrangement. Very heartfelt playing.

Beautiful arrangement, Ladypayne. You captured the feel of the piece very well.

Still catching up here...

BillM; Loved your singing/playing of the classic song, Bridge Over Troubled Water.. You make it look so easy, though I know it's not.

If I Loved You (Carousel/Rodgers & Hammerstein)

Ladypayne
There are several different tunes to this well known Methodist Hymn. This is my favourite. And it`s Sunday Morning. Thank you, missy! Well played!

Elssa - Blimey, playin` the ole joanna`s hard enough without all this other stuff! Very well done. It reminds me of the days of the electric organ, some of which were hugely expensive . . . like the price of a house!

I was thinking of saying "Why not try playing the bass melody (which is so effective) wi your left hand instead of crossing them?" but it might scramble your brains like it does to me . .

So I won`t say it. . . .

Inlanding - you have created a quiet, peaceful mood with your piano musing. I am amazed that you can spontaneously compose such interesting music.

Peterws - Wow! This is really well done. The middle section has a cool island vibe and you flow seamlessly between the three sections. The video was fun - I thought my computer screen had gone blank at the beginning until the eyes started lighting up.

Elssa - If I Loved You - Great choice! One of my Youtube faves is Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones' version of this great song from Carousel. Your rendition has the same feel - well done!

Bill - Youtube sometimes gets video sequences out of time . . . dunno why but it ruins the intended effect. The original video is so much better but at least the sountrack`s OK!

peterws, some great stuff...its more than piano...its the accompaniment and the video work as well. You should share your tricks over on the video/audio production thread.
