Anthony Rapp from "Rent"

"Falling Ashes Waltz No.325 (Original Composition)” - A melancholic broken heart waltz that captures the essence of longing and nostalgia. Composed with a poignant melody that echoes the depths of my broken heart, this piece invites listeners to immerse themselves in its soothing yet sorrowful beauty. As a composer and countertenor, I’ve poured my emotions into this waltz, creating a hauntingly beautiful soundscape that resonates with the soul.

Detail:  A Minor, 6/8-time, 90 BPM 

Watch, listen, and feel the emotions.
