Romance in Time

Untitled Playlist SharonEChen

As it is the end of summer, perhaps this is a good time for a 'blockbuster' track. I originally wrote this more than a year ago. I got a better orchestra, so I replaced all the tracks with the new ones. It was not so easy to mix because of the large number of tracks (40) and I often would look away not wanting to sit down and figure out all the details. With orchestra, one needs to do a lot of MIDI manipulation and automation to make it sound alive. My friend, Pascal, (https://soundcloud.com/user-650933542) wrote the electronic ostinato part in the second half. Check out his cinematic, imaginative, orchestral offerings. I also made a slower first half with piano and strings but I will make it into another song instead.

Presave Romance in Time EP (29 Feb) (Over the Rainbow): https://gyro.to/RomanceinTime

The lyrics composer, Johnny Mercer, wanted to write about his home in the south of the USA where he lived by the water. Moon River looks to the future and the past simultaneously. The river represents time and the journey from start to finish.. the journey of life. 

commemorates Audrey Hepburn’s passing 20 Jan 1993.
This poem was read at her funeral.

“For attractive lips, speak words of kindness,” “For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people,” “For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry,” and “For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it once a day.”
~Sam Levenson

It has been some time... I have had a jaw procedure and if I do not exercise it, the surgery is in vain. This creates more pain in the jaw and neck and I did not practice my violin for months.

What Was I Made For? was done some time ago. However, events recently changed my ideas on the movie Barbie. While I never considered myself a feminist per se, I encountered recently the difficulty women, especially minority women, face in many fields.. Though I do not consider myself very high, a few men began to abuse, bully, sabotage me in Spotify. This will happen in all fields, but I feel especially vulnerable because it is an art form. Bullying stifles creativity..The point is we should not be treated as property. Double standards because if we stand up for ourselves, we are deemed 'aggressive'.

What Was I Made For?

白絮飘飘覆万川， Soft white snow blankets   rivers and hills
孤梅傲立冷风前。 A lone plum stands proud in the chilly air
万物寂寂藏深意， All lies silent, secrets to keep
待到春来化冰天。 Awaiting spring to melt the frost away

Winter 冬

'Du Zuo Jing Ting Shan' (Sitting Alone on Jing Ting Shan Hill) evokes imagery from the poem by Li Bai, found here:  

http://www.chinese-poems.com/lb9.html

In his poem, the author enjoys the solitude and passing of time on a mountain. I used two different cellos, Chris Hein and Bohemian, Bohemian violin, and the Hammersmith piano. Artwork by Liu Yunfang

Dawn of the morning lightly caresses
The moon touch of our hearts reveals 
In the blackest of nights..
In the breathlessness of circumstances 
The embracing hearts slowly heals..
