La Danse Finale

William Joseph - Safe and Sound

Minimal piano composition.  Composed/performed/produced 7/27/13.  Tentative arrangement.

This is representative of the type of material that will find its way onto the third solo piano album.  The first album takes inspiration from romantic love.  The second, from family, friends, and social groups of one form or another.  The third is more spiritual, meditative, and minimalistic and takes pride in the rests as much as the notes.  

In theme one could summarize thus:  eros, philos, and agape...

Let's hear what you all think...

Nocturne, 27 July, Sunset - Piano Solo

"As a guitarist/composer, Barrios is the best of the lot, regardless of era. His music is better formed, it's more poetic, it's more everything! And it's more of all those things in a timeless way." (John Williams)

"Oeps!" (Bas Kooman a few times during recording - inwardly)

Choro da saudade (Agustín Barrios Mangoré 1885-1944)

Crazy Penis - Theres a Better Place !

Co-Composed with Nicolas Laget:

All things have hope. With patience and caring hands, even the delicate and vulnerable can survive winter and grow into maturity with strong roots and branches. With time and unconditional love, our tree may one day blossom and bear fruit in the joy of spring. We must remain patient.

ALBUM INFO:

"The Idea Of You" is the first of a trio of neoclassical solo piano albums composed, performed, and produced by Andrew Souter. These projects have been two decades in the making and represent a return to traditional music composition, engaging song-writing, and the pure passion of emotional story-telling. This Andrew's most personal and intimate music. It is quite literally a love project. We hope it may it help you on your journey, as it has us...

The Idea Of You Cover Art "The Idea Of You" is music inspired by the spirit of Eros and all of its blessings as well as its tribulations. It explores the vicissitudes of romantic love, the delicate seasons and contour of life, and all the lessons learned along the way. Themes of desire, passion, limerence, romantic love, idolatry, jealousy, envy, loss, regret, forgiveness, acknowledgment, appreciation, acceptance, and eventually glimpses of true understanding permeate the work. It attempts to communicate that which so many of us can never quite communicate properly with words. It is an open apology for the clumsy mistakes we all make when coming to maturity in learning how to care selflessly for another human being. It is a gentle reminder as to what is most important in life, as well as an invocation to continuously seek self-improvement regarding our understanding of such matters.

"Autumn Rains" is the second installment in a trio of neoclassical solo piano albums composed, performed, and produced by Andrew Souter. These projects have been two decades in the making and represent a return to traditional music composition, engaging song-writing, and the pure passion of emotional story-telling. This trio represents Andrew's most personal and intimate music. It is quite literally a love project. We hope it may help you on your journey, as it has us...

"Autumn Rains" is music inspired by the spirit of Agape. It is an album dedicated to the concept of spiritual love and universal compassion clothed in the metaphor of transcendental natural beauty. It is an album that simultaneously expresses deep love for both the creator as well as the creation. It is said God gave us music so that we could pray without words. It could be added that nature was provided as an example of exactly how to do this effectively. In this spirit, Autumn Rains is a prayer of gratitude for the opportunity to learn from the natural beauty of this world, and an expression of a sense of respect for the inescapable universal equality that nature imposes. It humbly attempts to capture deep feelings of awe, granduer, idealism, and a belief in the innate goodness of the world even when we all face exceptionally hard lessons.

En Passant

Andrew Souter -- En Passant

στίχοι (Νίκος Γκάτσος)

Άδειο το μάτι
Και το μυαλό
Στο μονοπάτι
Το σιωπηλό
Η νύχτα πέφτει
Σταλιά, σταλιά
Μοιάζω με κλέφτη
Στη σιγαλιά
Για κάνε κάτι
Για τον διαβάτη
Τον αμαρτωλό
Ποιος είμαι ρώτα
Κι έβγα στην πόρτα
Σε παρακαλώ
Άγιο φεγγάρι
Κι η αγάπη μια
Προσκυνητάρι
Στην ερημιά
Ήσουν η σκάλα
Για τον βυθό
Μα παρακάλα
Να μη χαθώ
Για κάνε κάτι
Για τον διαβάτη
Τον νυχτερινό
Ένα κομμάτι
Απ’ τον δικό σου
Στείλε μ’ ουρανό
-
Vuoto lo sguardo
Ed il cervello
Sopra il sentiero
Silenzioso
La notte cade
Goccia a goccia
Sembro un ladro
Nella gran quiete

Sù, fa' qualcosa
Per il viandante
Peccatore
Chiedimi chi io sia
Ed esci sulla porta
Te ne prego

Santa la luna
E unico l'amore
Sacra edicola
Nella solitudine
Fosti la scala
Giù per l'abisso
Ma prega Iddio
Che non mi perda

Sù, fa' qualcosa
Per il viandante
Della notte
Un pezzettino
Tolto da te
Manda col cielo

Federico Garcia Lorca - Piano Solo

Poem: GIORGOS ROUSSOS
Composer: MANOS HATZIDAKIS

ΘΑΛΑΣΣΑ ΠΛΑΤΙΑ
Θάλασσα πλατιά
σ’ αγαπώ γιατί μου μοιάζεις
θάλασσα βαθιά
μια στιγμή δεν ησυχάζεις
λες κι έχεις καρδιά
τη δικιά μου την μικρούλα την καρδιά

Όνειρα τρελά
που πετούν στο κύμα πάνω
φτάνουν στην καρδιά
και τα νιάτα μας ξυπνάνε
όνειρα τρελά
και οι πόθοι φτερουγίζουν σαν πουλιά

Έχω έναν καημό
που με τρώει γλυκά και με λιώνει
έχω ένα καημό θα `ρθω να στον πω
αδερφή μου εσύ θάλασσα που σ’ αγαπώ

Κύματα πουλιά
στα ταξίδια σας που πάτε
τα αλαργινά 
την κρυφή μου λύπη πάρτε
κι απο `κει μακριά
να μου φέρετε κι εμένα τη χαρά
---
WIDE SEA
Oh wide sea
I love you because you resemble me
Oh deep sea
you don't calm down a single moment
as if you have a heart
my own small heart

Crazy dreams
that fly on the wave
they reach the heart
and wake up our youth
crazy deams
and passions flutter like birds

I have a desire
that bothers me and occupies me*
I have a desire I will come to say it to you
oh my sister you sea that I love

Waves birds
in the journeys you go
the distant ones
take my hidden grief
from there far away 
and bring joy to me too
---
MARE LARGO
Mare largo 
ti amo (o ti voglio bene) perche mi somigli
Mare profondo
non hai un momento di tranquilita'
Come se tu avessi un cuore
il piccolino mio di cuore

Sogni pazzeschi
che cadono sull'onda,
arrivano al cuore
e svegliano la nostra gioventu'
Sogni pazzeschi
e le brame sbattono le ali come ucceli

Ho una tristezza
che mi rosica dolcemente e che mi soglie
Ho una tristezza,verro' a dirtela
mio fratello tu mare che ti amo (o ti voglio bene)

Onde ucceli
per i vostri viaggi che partite
lontani 
la mia tristezza nascosta prendete
e da la',lontano,
che portiate anche a me la gioia!
---
MAR EXTENSO
oh mar extenso
te amo porque te pareces a mi
oh mar profundo
no te calmas ni por un solo momento
y como tienes un corazón
mi propio corazoncito (mi propio pequeño corazon)

sueños locos 
que vuelan en una ola
que alcanzan el corazon
i despiertan tu juventud
sueños locos
y pasiones revolotean como pájaros

tengo un deseo
que me molesta y toma mi tiempo
tengo un deseo
vendré para decírtelo
oh hermana mia, tu mar, que yo quiero

pájaros agitados
en los dias tu vas
en los dias distantes
tomas mis desgracias
y te las llevas lejos de aqui
y me traes gozo tambien
---
WEITES MEER
Weites Meer
Ich liebe dich, weil du mir ähnlich bist
Tiefes Meer
Keinen Moment kommst du zur Ruhe
So als ob du ein Herz hättest
Mein eigenes, kleines Herz

Verrückte Träume
Die oben auf den Wellen fliegen
Erreichen das Herz
Und erwecken unsere Jugend
Verrückte Träume
Und die Sehnsüchte flattern wie Vögel

Ich habe einen Kummer
Der mich süß auffrisst und mich zerdrückt
Ich habe einen Kummer, ich komme, um dir davon zu erzählen
Meine Schwester, das Meer, ich liebe dich

Wellen wie Vögel
Auf euren Reisen, auf die ihr geht
Auf die entfernten 
Nehmt meine geheime Trauer
Und von dort aus der Ferne
Bringt auch mir die Freude
---
Широко море
Море широко, 
Волим те јер личимо, 
Море дубоко, 
Ни на трен ниси мирно,
Као да имаш срце, 
Моје малено срце.

Снови луди, 
Што плове по таласу,
И стижу до срца,
Младост нашу буде.
Снови луди, 
А чежње лепршају као птице.

Имам једну жељу,
Која ме слатко мучи и обузима,
Имам жељу и рећи ћу ти је,
Сестро моја пучино коју волим.

Таласи птице, 
На вашим далеким 
путовањима,
Однесите моју скривену тугу, 
А отуд, из даљине,
Донесите ми радост.
