Joplin wrote this wonderful ragtime waltz after her very young wife, Freddie Alexander died after only a few weeks of marriage. Recorded by Bohém Ragtime Jazz Band's leader, pianist Tamás Ittzés on Oct 20, 2013 in Budapest.

Bethena (Scott Joplin)

Viva Namida - Yasuyuki Okamura

True emotion manifests itself not through words, writing or false stares, but through honest expression. Only movement, raw and unadulterated - simply dance - will unveil one's true state of mind.

Welcome to 'Launch', encompassing all the sublime violent beauty of emotion.

Enjoy.

Flux Pavilion Ft. Matthew Koma - Emotional (Shurk Remix) [CONTEST RUNNER UP]

New breakout album from the pioneers of Epic Rock

The sound is unmistakable. The songs are powerful and poignant. The passion....undeniable. Put simply, “Break From This World” is an epic listening experience, journeying through the complex tapestry of the human condition.

Hailing from Southern California, Globus impeccably blends the impactful sounds of large orchestra, choir and six piece rock band with powerful melodies and edgy, modern sounds to create “Break From This World”, an album that draws us in, compels us to listen in a different way, to allow ourselves to be touched by the power and the emotion of music......to break away from conventional norms and find new meaning in ourselves and the world around us.

Globus was formed by award-winning composer Yoav Goren, best known for penning and producing the epic trailer music for some of Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters of all time: Lord of the Rings, Spiderman 2 & 3, Pirates of the Caribbean series and the Harry Potter series among many others. In 2006, Globus debuted its first full length LP “Epicon." The critically acclaimed album included the hit single “Orchard Of Mines” which spent nine weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart, peaking at number 12. Globus’ world premiere live performance was held at Wembley Grand Hall and released as a concert fi lm on DVD in 2009’s “Globus: Live at Wembley."

“Break From This World” offers a full-throttle dose of Globus’ vision of epic rock. The first single, “Wyatt Earth”, opens with a mesmerizing orchestral arpeggio, featuring a soaring solo trumpet melody, that then crashes into a driving, dynamic rock track. The anthemic “Save Me” features lead vocalist Ryan Hanifl ’s inspired Freddy Mercury-esque performance layered over a majestic orchestral and choral arrangement. The lead track, “The Promise,"  opens with
a somber piano and solo cello (Tina Guo) supporting a stirring duet by vocalists Lisbeth Scott (Avatar, Passion of the Christ) and Anneke Van Giersbergen (Dutch band The Gathering) - and quickly builds to an intensely gripping story fueled by heavy guitars, brass and powerful percussion.

The globally diverse spirit of Globus’ music is exemplified by the track “Black Parade”. This song is the result of an international songwriting contest promoted by Globus to their fan base in 2010. Presaging the events of the Arab Spring of 2011, “Black Parade” merges the writing talents of a naturalized Israeli living in Los Angeles, a young amateur British programmer and an Iranian dissident who has protested against the authoritarian regime in Iran, all working separately using the same background tracks, their independent creations combined into a powerful composite work denouncing dictatorships. The song demonstrates a common passion for the power of music to cross traditionally unbreakable lines of religion and culture, and effect true unity in our shared human struggles. 

“Globus embodies the spirit of truly global, truly epic rock”, says Globus’ lead songwriter and producer Goren. Globus is currently performing and recording in the LA area and preparing for touring. The band is Ryan Hanifl (lead vocals), Yoav Goren (keys), Ariel Mann (guitars), Kfir Melamed (bass), Hiro Goto (violin) and Mike Horick (drums).

Song that has been with me for 45 years or so

14 Parting Glass

this is a cover of the song Fat Bottom Girls that I'm performing and transcribing for Hal Leonard so people can have a correct example, and score to learn how to sing and play guitar to many Queen songs.  I am no Freddy Mercury, but I am honored to be able to sing and record these incredible songs and even happier that there will be a vocal score that has all the parts, not just Freddie's lead vocals.
