Relax [.] Concentrate [.] Study [.]

The 12 Valkyries are figures from the Nordic mythology - they collect the slain heroes from the battlefield and bring them to "Valhalla", the "holy hall".

This piece goes out to Isabella Charlotta Maria Zita Beneking, my little Valkyrie. Isabella, one of my identical-twin daughters, died in 2006, 2 days before her birth.
This tragedy is the main reason for the deep melancholy in my works.
Thank you, dear Paul (https://soundcloud.com/paul-de-clerck), for playing it for her!
I am sure she will listen to it from "Valhalla"....

The whole series is devoted to Isabella, you can find the scores booklet here: http://www.beneking.com/valkyries
There are some further recordings of this series coming soon.

Robert Schumann: Kinderscenen Op. 15 - 12. Child Falling Asleep

"Faltering" is a multi-track piano piece that is derived from many strong emotions I have experienced throughout this year, some the happiest I have ever felt, and some very tough to deal with.

Composed by Daniel J Collins

Released on 7 October, 2025

Credits to Illmari in regards to the title of this piece

Faltering

An elegant song, with the unusual feature of five beats to the bar. The music flows in a decorative way, and the pretty key of A flat major further enhances the musical experience

She has been a great scientist. At the same time she's maintained hers humanity.
Astrophysicist who explained her research on the stars in plain language for the public and who championed civil rights in her native Italy.
Homage.
