Just north of San Francisco, in Muir Woods National Monument is a grove of redwoods named Cathedral Grove. These are the tallest and oldest trees in the park. I saw them once a long time ago and I'm still awed by the memory of them.

For this piece I used BBCSO Core and Epic Choir from Spitfire Audio, and the Pianobook sample pack "Neanderthal Pipe Organ" by Daniel Werner.

Losing You could be your story.  Unrequited love, someone gone away or passed, a lost child, or the feeling of letting go of something you love.  We have all felt the anxiety and also the relief of letting go.  My musical idea was from a Toccata in E major by Paradisi. I use to be able to play this from memory but now all I can remember is the first 4 bars, and it has never left me.  I start out in the minor key, and I spin out the idea in and out from minor to major and vv. I am a sentimentalist at heart, so adding a tender and hopeful melody is there. That's why I call it Contemporary Classical! I hope you enjoy this piece. Art Image:  Bansky, There is Always Hope

Losing You

Symphony Op I

Once again I was very fortunate that the talented Irish bard Johnny McFarlane created great lyrics for one of my pieces of music. I think these lyrics can be help and support for us to find our inner strength and magic, especially in these dark and difficult times! Thanks so much, Johnny!

Lyrics by John McFarlane  (copyright)

Don’t close your eyes and have no fear.
You must be Brave for the Magic to Appear.
Believe, be strong and you will see.
The Magic inside of you will set you free.

Don’t be chained by your fears, you must be strong.
Stay true, trust your heart for you belong.

Chorus
Stay true to your heart and you will see.
The magic inside of you will set you free.
Stay true to your heart and have no fear.
And you will see the Magic will appear.

Don’t close your heart or you might stray.
Don’t close your eyes or you’ll surely lose your way.

Chorus
Stay true to your heart and you will see.
The magic inside of you will set you free.
Stay true to your heart and have no fear.
And you will see the Magic will appear.

Stay True To Your Heart (John McFarlane & Raphael Muhr)

Mars - The Bringer of War- The planets - Gustav Holst

I received the great honor and I am extremely grateful that the great soprano Mrs. Gabriele Weinfurter - Zwink recorded the solo of my Ave-Maria and that MyOpus (Gerhard Richter) mixed it so beautifully with the choir.

Ave Maria, gratia plena;
Dominus tecum;
benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus.
Sancta Maria, Mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus
nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace.
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

In a world where we all live with broken dreams,
Through the storms we will walk, legs shackled in chains
With fiery eyes, Uncontrollable rage
Still defiance in faces. Our souls are still wild
With passionate cries, we fight for our places
We’ve seen all the signs, we’ve seen all the signs
Chorus
Oh, we’re floating through fire. Our hearts are on fire, we’re holding on
We carry on, nothing controls us.
We’re floating through fire. Our hearts are on fire, we’re holding on.
We’re holding on. We carry on. Nothing controls us
Floating through fire. Floating through fire. We carry on, floating through fire.
We carry on.
Bridge
Oooooh. Ooooh. Oooooh, OOOOH
We’ll be holding on with fire in our eyes.
We’ll be fighting on with fire in our hearts
We’ll be floating on, onto paradise
We’ll be holding on, onto paradise
We’ll Carry on
Chorus
Oh, we’re floating through fire. Our hearts are on fire, we’re holding on
We carry on, nothing controls us.
We’re floating through fire. Our hearts are on fire, we’re holding on.
We’re holding on. We carry on. Nothing controls us
Floating through fire. Floating through fire. We carry on, floating through fire.
We carry on.

Floating Through Fire

The Lost Galaxy

In the grand expanse of the cosmos, envision a tempestuous surge of cosmic vitality cascading upon an outpost nestled within the cosmic embrace of Alpha Centauri. Fashioned from adaptive materials, products of the ingenuity of distant epochs, the outpost steadfastly withstands the tumultuous onslaught, manifesting a symphony of resplendent hues and luminosity.Amidst the void's chilling embrace, intrepid astronauts, representing a mosaic of diverse racial lineages and gender identities, anchor themselves firmly with magnetic footwear, grappling with undulating tendrils of energy, laboring tirelessly to restore equilibrium to the besieged outpost. In the distant reaches, enigmatic astral entities, their corporeal forms woven from celestial dust and adorned with thermal ocular organs, observe with a beguiled curiosity, drawn by the spectacle unfolding before them.Behold, a quintessential odyssey of the cosmos unfolds—a saga fraught with peril and exhilaration—a testament to the indefatigable spirit of humanity, as it endeavors to traverse the uncharted frontiers of knowledge and fortitude.

Outpost Alpha Centauri

A melancholic song of love, partly inspired by Simon & Garfunkel. This is the shorter version.

Mortify Us  (Bach)

Hi,
