Improvisation_047f

Lord, why do You choose me? I don’t understand.
I sit here, silent,
among the shadows of my own thoughts.
You call me by name—
but I am no one.
A voice in the mist,
a breath in the cold.
Why me?
Why now?
What do You see in these broken hands,
in this heart that doubts,
in these eyes that dare not meet the sky?
I wear no crown, no sword,
no sacred words to speak.
Only silence.
Only questions.
You choose me,
as if I carry light,
but all I feel is weight.
Of past, of failure,
of the fear of becoming who I must be.
Is it grace?
Is it a mistake?
Or is this the path of one who never knows for sure
but walks anyway?
Lord, if You see me—
as I am,
not as I try to be—
then help me understand.
Or let me sing,
in minor key,
until doubt finds peace.

In Dutch:
God, waarom kiest u mij uit? Ik begrijp het niet.
Ik zit hier, stil,
tussen de schaduwen van mijn eigen gedachten.
U roept mij bij naam—
maar ik ben niemand.
Een stem in de mist,
een adem in de kou.
Waarom ik?
Waarom nu?
Wat ziet u in deze gebroken handen,
in dit hart dat twijfelt,
in deze ogen die de hemel niet durven te ontmoeten?
Ik heb geen kroon, geen zwaard,
geen heilige woorden om te spreken.
Alleen stilte.
Alleen vragen.
U kiest mij uit,
alsof ik licht draag,
maar ik voel alleen gewicht.
Van verleden, van falen,
van de angst om te zijn wie ik moet zijn.
Is het genade?
Is het een vergissing?
Of is dit de weg van wie nooit zeker weet
maar toch blijft lopen?
God, als u mij ziet—
zoals ik ben,
niet zoals ik probeer te zijn—
help mij dan te begrijpen.
Of laat mij zingen,
in mineur,
tot de twijfel vrede vindt.

Lord why do you choose me 251007

For each musical piece there is a story hidden inside. Enjoy this "Hidden Inside", played on the virtual version of The Giant. Until recently it was the biggest piano in the world but now it's creator, David Klavins, made even bigger Regina. I got the chance to play The Giant in real life and I hope to get a chance to play Regina this year!

The video story is edited by my husband, compiled using clips from VideoBlocks.

Hidden Inside

"Hidden Inside" by Milana Zilnik (Video)

'Music Box' tells the story of a ballerina trapped in a music box who magically comes to life at night, escaping the confines of her box to dance in wondrous beauty and grace reflected through the piano composition. A perfect track for #pianoday2020

Piano Music of Keith Hide

Keith Hide: The Autumn Quietus

A short ambient piano piece off my newest release, "Penumbras".

Quietly

The title couldn't be more fitting to the music... or vice versa.

Robert Schumann: Album Für Die Jugend Op. 68 - 6. The Poor Orphan

Robert Schumann: Album Für Die Jugend Op. 68 - 1. Melody

Robert Schumann: Album Für Die Jugend Op. 68 - 5. Little Piece

So much bitter in the world, it's hard to find the sweet. If you look hard enough, it's there.

Classically trained pianist. I enjoy playing not only the traditional repertoire but also pieces from unusual composers.
