In September 1986 my mothers birthday was very special.
She would have a gift for us. At this day she got my brother and that makes her birthday even more special that we can imagine.
What a luck for all of us. " FamilienBande"

Still Life

Crossing the River Styx

I spent two years making Punto Ártica album as a whole, and I mostly played my mom’s Spanish guitar in the spare time. This theme and chords got shape with time, without any plan, in some different variations I’ve tried to remember and craft here.

Even a 7/4 vocal section had come up. In the spirit of this new profile, I asked Codi (https://soundcloud.com/noisealter) to adapt my translation of a poem I wrote when my age was about 1/3 than now (see below), and he also sung it with the passion and delivery I was looking for !!

Original poem  /  First translation:

FEBRERO  /  FEBRUARY

Efe de frío, Febrero,  /  ‘F’ for Freeze, February,
tiempo de ocio y ventura  /  leisure and venture time.
Sueño, guitarra, lectura,  /  Sleep, guitar, reading,
paso intermedio.  /  intermediate step.

Tiempo de amigos y risas  /  Time for friends and laughter,
de descanso e ilusión  /  of rest and illusion
de esperanza y ocasión,  /  of hope and opportunity,
muere la prisa.  /  the rush dies.

Febrero de nacimiento,  /  February of birth,
pausa para el estudiante.  /  pause for the student.
Los problemas van delante,  /  The problems go ahead,
estoy contento.  /  I’m happy.

This is a rework of my previous composition Jazz One More Waltz which was an orchestral work for Orchestra and Jazz Combo. I wanted to remove the jazz elements and make a straight waltz. Although it started at just removing the jazz elements I ended up deciding to go down to a String Quintet instead. It took some cutting but this piece is now a waltz for String Quintet only clocking in a little over 3 minutes instead of the over 6-minute original work.

Anthony M Virgilio Music is an experience in story telling through the musical language. Always in different voices, always varying tales, but always written to convey a story. Message me on here or on my site to inquire about commissioned work. I enjoy working with artists and other composers. I would also love your feedback on the work I post on here. Most of the recordings on here are midi renderings and could use live recordings in order to truly bring them to life. If there is a piece you fancy to perform send me a message and maybe we could work something out.
