I've listened to three of your compositions so far and see that you focus on melancholy as do I. Beautiful piece...

J'aime ces violons derrière votre joli jeu de piano.

very beautiful. I love the depth of emotion. We have similarities

We Lost The Way (Lyrics by Vera Francis)

I used to believe in first love,
the one who left a mark on your heart

The one who was clean and pure as rain,
falling on a spring night

It will always be in my head,
like that song of ours

when used to dance it until dawn
getting wet in that rain

But now they are no longer that song that made us dream
of our love, of our love
(bis)

I still believe in first love,
even if It hurts and hurts

I will invoke what is inside,
of me over and over again

Until the wound heals it can
take a long time I know,

but it will be worth trying just,
to feel it inside of me again

All that has vanished like a very subtle ray, 
in our hearts,in our hearts
All that has vanished like a very subtle ray,
we lost the way,we lost the way

WE LOST THE WAY - (Lyrics and video in the description)

Contemporary classical music for synphony orchestra, choir and piano (no electronic, no effects).

Not a sonata in the classical sense, rather a one-movement symphony in classical sonata form.

The tritone is considered a dissonant interval (3 whole tones or 6 semitones pitch spacing). But ultimately it is only our dualistic comparative intellect that judges this. In the absolute, in the divine, these distinctions should no longer exist. The natural beauty in the seemingly imperfect can be more beautiful than the artificially perfect.
In this piece there are countless of tritone intervals. Listen and feel...

Tritonus Sonate

August marks 3 years since the passing of Per-Olov Lemhagen, Master Peo, as he was known on Bandcamp, mp3u.com and other music platforms.

Peo was a clarinetist and used to play in a swing band in the 50's in Sweden. His familiarity with the instruments, arrangements and all that goes into creating authentic band pieces made him a valuable mentor in the American Jazz classics.

This one, Darktown Strutter's Ball is such a piece, and it was always a joy and a learning experience for me to lend a vocal to Peo's arrangements.  This is loosely based on Ella Fitzgerald's version of this classic.  Peo wanted to slow the tempo for his interpretation...which worked for me too ;)

In memory of Peo.

Lyrics:
Darktown Strutters Ball

I'll be there to catch you in a taxi, honey.
Better be ready about half past eight.
Now baby, don't be late,
I wanna be there when the band start playing.
Remember when we get there, baby,
Two-steps, I'm gonna have them all,
Gonna dance out of both of my shoes,
When they play that Jelly Roll Blues,
Tomorrow night at the Darktown Strutter's Ball

Songwriter:  Shelton Brooks

Somewhat of a spiritual journey we take when we listen to music we enjoy, it takes us to another place beyond our earthy bonds.

Transcendental

Side by Side 

There’s no end to where we start
Side by side no fall apart 
In silence we can hear 
Side by side 
Side by side 

I have moods you do too 
Side by side we move on through 
Both our worlds are on spin
Side by side 
Side by side 

Change track switch back do this but not that 
Go away come here not there where have you gone?
That’s right but wrong to slow you don’t really know 
Keep up that’s good but I don’t want it now 

Let’s hang out not do anything 
Side by side just sharing space 
Safe in our everything 
Side by side 
Side by side 

We sit tight in between 
Side by side not quite seen 
Hide away it’s our favourite thing 
Side by side 
Side by side 

Change track switch back do this but not that 
Go away come here not there where have you gone?
That’s right but wrong to slow you don’t really know 
Keep up that’s good but I don’t want it now 

Change track switch back do this but not that 
Go away come here not there where have you gone?
That’s right but wrong to slow you don’t really know 
Keep up that’s good but I don’t want it now 

Just undo what’s tightly screwed 
Side by side unwind renew 
Have the light warm down on dim
Side by side 
Side by side

Doing things in parallel
Side by side only we can tell 
When nothing is something 
Side by side 
Side by side

Change track switch back do this but not that 
Go away come here not there where have you gone?
That’s right but wrong to slow you don’t really know 
Keep up that’s good but I don’t want it now

Side by Side

Whatever I Wanna Do

you’re waiting for a train that might never come. the air hums with sleep and something older. you stand between what’s real and what remembers you. places unfold in your head like old film burning through the reel. you can’t tell how long it’s been. the rails keep singing soft and low like they know your name. you think you know where it goes but maybe that’s another dream. time bends here it forgets itself. still you wait. the fog moves like breath. something out there is calling but it sounds more like a memory than a voice. maybe it’s not about the end anymore. maybe it’s just the waiting. the hum. the small faith that you’re still moving.
