Very beautiful rendition.  Impressive composition.

Reasons Why

The reasons why we turn away
From all that’s seen…
A complication for another day
And the lies between…

The living daylights up the darkest night
And places we have been…
Raise a glass to our prosperity…my friend 

The reasons that we go out late 
And stay too long
A complication for another day
What could go wrong…

The vapid prattle and another beer
As the clock strikes half past two
Tell me everything I long to hear, would you…

In the season of obscurity
Lines will fade
A complication for another day
We’ve got it made

The living daylights up the darkest night
And places we have been…
Raise a glass to our prosperity…my friend…

The reasons why we turn away
From all that’s seen…

Reasons Why

You Found Me

'Ars longa, vita brevis.' - ‘Art is long, life is short.’

A favourite quote of Ryuichi Sakamoto, a famous and fantastic composer and pianist, who died a week ago at the age of 71. 
I have always loved his music, being often nostalgic and melancholic, film scores and solo work as well as collaborations with many great artists.
I chose to cover one of my favourite pieces of him, Bibo No Aozora, Beauty of a blue Sky. Most know this piece from the movie ‘Babel’, a 2006 psychological drama film directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu and written by Guillermo Arriaga, starring Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett and Gael García Bernal.

Rest In Peace, maestro…

-Dan

Original music written by Ryuichi Sakamoto, arrangement for three classical guitars by Daniel van den Berg, April 2023.

„Wenn ich gegangen bin“  (24.08.2023 )

Ich sitze am Ufer eines Sees. Die Sonne neigt sich im Horizont.
Spiegelt im See einen goldenen lichtdurchfluteten Pfad in die weite Unendlichkeit.

Es ist noch Zeit ? 

Eines Tages werde ich diesen Weg im Sonnenuntergang über diesen goldenen Pfad der Ewigkeit schreiten.

Gehen über zarte goldene Wellen völlig Eins sein mit dem See.

An das andere Ufer durchschreite ich das große Licht der Ewigkeit.

Wenn ich gegangen bin.

"When I'm Gone" (08/24/2023)

I am sitting on the shore of a lake. The sun is sinking on the horizon.
Reflected in the lake a golden light-flooded path into the wide infinity.

There is still time ?

One day I will walk this path at sunset on this golden path of eternity.

Walk across gentle golden waves, being totally one with the lake.

I cross the great light of eternity to the other shore.

When I'm gone

Thank you for visiting and listening.

When i'm gone

WHEN I'M GONE

All things must pass.....even the enlightened state (Nirvana)...(not the band).....that feeling when a steady state starts to breakdown.

Wind ensemble tracks: Clarinet (5); Flute (4); Alto Sax (2); Tenor Sax (2); Soprano Sax (2); Oboe (2). 

0 - 1.49 min -  steady melodic A/B structure (few random elements appear)..
1.50....gradual descent into chaos on B section until 2.02 when soprano saxes steady it...but free elements gain ground
2.17 - section A with oboe holding it up...against some disintegrating chaos (panned).. 
2.32 - return of B section and the final comedown...oboes trying hard till the end.

That's the way i saw it anyhow.  [Try it with headphones if poss.]

Nirvana Comedown

Even Now 150

The Remaining Time

Christel was born in the Netherlands. At age ten, she taught herself to play the piano. In 2019 she discovered her passion for composing music. Although Christel has a love for many different music genres, the music she writes is mainly influenced by (neo)classical and cinematic music.

In 2021 she released her first album 'Watershed'. It is a collection of solo piano songs that reflect different moods. Whether it’s peaceful, uplifting, energetic, dramatic or epic, it’s always passionate. “I get really excited when I notice that my mood changes when I play a certain piece.”

‘Landslide’ is Christel’s second album. “I enthusiastically started writing new compositions for a new album. But I soon found myself in a difficult phase. Music is based on emotions and experiences and is always personal, so putting yourself out there feels very vulnerable. I felt like I wasn’t worth doing this, that I should give up. But at the same time, giving up didn’t feel right either. When I want to clear my mind I always take a walk in the woods near my house. There I like to listen to some music and admire the beauty in nature, using my imagination and fantasy. Sometimes I pretend God walks with me. During these walks I found new hope and inspiration. This album is about my journey through a ‘fairytale forest’. My journey of accepting these feelings without holding myself back, but to move forward instead.”
