Pretty, melancholic ambiance.. solo piano and strings accompaniment..

I dig the harmonic choices.  I just love borrowed harmony....

It was a year ago I originally released "Angels", a most unlikely event given that it was a mouse click away from ever seeing the light of day.  I didn't like how it was progressing and wanted to scrap the whole thing.  That's the time you walk away and let it steep, let the idea mature and if it is a good one, let it fly.  Your response showed it was good beyond my hopes, and now made even better with Debra's wonderful playing on this second flight.  I hope you think so too.  Hear more of Debra's wonderful music @debra_buesking.

„Heilig“ „Sacre“  „Sagrada“  (03.07.2023)


Diese Komposition widme ich dem katalanischen Baumeister Antoni Gaudi und seinem großen Bauwerk „Sagrada Familia“

Ein Verwandte erzählte mir staunend von der Besichtigung dieser Basilika.
Dabei zeigte sie mir viele schöne Fotos dieser wunderschönen Kirche.
Ein Foto habe ich als Motiv-Cover für meine Veröffentlichung dieser Komposition verwendet.

Der Bau wurde im Jahre 1882 begonnen und wird voraussichtlich im Jahre 2026 zum 100. Todestages Antonio Gaudi fertiggestellt sein. Somit hätte die Vollendung dieses sacralen Bauwerks 144 Jahren gedauert.
Dies ist für ein derart monumentales Bauwerk eine recht kurze Bauzeit, wenn man bedenkt,
dass die Erbauung des Kölner Doms  vom Architekt „Meister Gerhard“ 632 Jahre bis zur Vollendung benötigte. 

Antoni Gaudi war auch ein sehr gläubiger Mensch.
Seine Vision die Erschaffung eines Sühnetempel der Heiligen Familie.
Auf die Unmöglichkeit einer baldigen Fertigstellung angesprochen, antwortete Gaudi:
„Meine Kunde hat keine Eile“

Auf diesen Satz hin bezieht sich auch meine inspirierte Komposition.
Die Vision eines sacralen Klangwerks.
In diesem Sinne hat auch meine musikalische Arbeit keine Eile.

Vielen Dank für Eure geschätzte Aufmerksamkeit.

"Holy" "Sacre" "Sagrada" (07/03/2023)


I dedicate this composition to the Catalan master builder Antoni Gaudi and his great building "Sagrada Familia"

A relative told me in amazement about visiting this basilica.
She showed me many beautiful photos of this beautiful church.
I used a photo as a motif cover for my publication of this composition.

Construction began in 1882 and is expected to be completed in 2026 on the 100th anniversary of Antonio Gaudi's death. Thus, the completion of this sacred structure would have taken 144 years.
This is quite a short construction time for such a monumental structure, considering
that the construction of the Cologne Cathedral by the architect "Master Gerhard" needed 632 years to complete.

Antoni Gaudi was also a very religious person.
His vision of creating a temple of expiation for the Holy Family.
Asked about the impossibility of an early completion, Gaudi replied:
"My client is in no hurry"

My inspired composition also refers to this sentence.
The vision of a sacred sound work.
In this sense, my musical work is not in a hurry.

Thank you for your valued attention.

Sagrada

This is a lighthearted and Romantically-inclined piece that is inspired by my little daughter who is into all “pretty things” in this world like flowers, raindrops and butterflies. Watching her humming and coloring papers freely without a care in the world, I feel like I can relive such moments of my life again.

Coloring Butterflies

Pan was a lascivious Satyr of the mountains and the God of the Shepherds and the Flocks. His main task was to render the flocks fertile.
Of course, this mythical character relates to a fragment of the human psyche, which if given free rein...often shepherds those under "his" spell through the garden of delights, leaving them to repent at their leisure.

Here is also an attempt a composition in the Dorian Mode.
I don't really know if I even got close.
It was my best guess.

You may notice that the underlying rhythm is 8/8,
while the overlaid melodies are 3/4.
