Somewhere (Violin Viola Cello Piano / Theme) - Till Indy

Send In The Clowns

Vocal and vocal composition: Oddrun Eikli
Piano and instrumental composition: Torbjørn Vagle
Orchestral composition and performance: Ad Van Nederpelt
Production for all instruments and vocals, the final mix and mastering: Ad Van Nederpelt
Poem: Emely Dickingson

Oddrun also writes this introduction for the poem included the lyrics:

Poem:
Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (December 10, 1830 – May 15, 1886) was an American poet. Little-known during her life, she has since been regarded as one of the most important figures in American poetry.

In this poem, Dickinson discusses her love for a man. She is jealous of everything around him, the water "He rides", the Chariots, the hills that watch him going by, the sparrows, the fly, even the leaves.
"I envy Seas, whereon He rides --" can be seen as a love poem for a man, but it can also be seen as a religious poem. The mention of Heaven and Gabriel can easily make this connection. The love of God and the love of everything he created.

I envy seas whereon he rides

I envy seas whereon he rides,
I envy spokes of wheels
Of chariots that him convey,
I envy speechless hills

That gaze upon his journey;
How easy all can see
What is forbidden utterly
As heaven, unto me!

I envy nests of sparrows
That dot his distant eaves,
The wealthy fly upon his pane,
The happy, happy leaves

That just abroad his window
Have summer’s leave to be,
The earrings of Pizarro
Could not obtain for me.

I envy light that wakes him,
And bells that boldly ring
To tell him it is noon abroad,—
Myself his noon could bring,

Yet interdict my blossom
And abrogate my bee,
Lest noon in everlasting night
Drop Gabriel and me.

I envy seas whereon he rides. Torbjørn Vagle, Ad Van Nederpelt, Oddrun Eikli.

This track was originally composed as a piano solo, with each section being a remnant of the initial theme.  Eventually, it was expanded to include full orchestra at various sections.  "Remnants" was inspired by the idea that we are made up of memories, and these remnants are what we carry with us into the present and future, there to be called upon as needed.  I chose the cover photo because, like memories, it's varied in color and texture, but the result is the beautiful creation of the whole.

Remnants

I was again inspired to write this piece after reading the book "The Four Winds" by Kristin Hannah.....it tells about the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression in America/Texas during the 1930...
My sincere thanks go out to Mirjam Keijnemans for adding her own voice and orchestration to my piece which has given it another dimension, and also to Leon Pajer (Orlando51) for the brilliant mix and production of this piece...
I hope you will enjoy listening....

"Ars longa, vita brevis" translated from the Latin is understood to mean "Art is long, life is short".

Ars Longa

Indeed a piece for strings and in this recording also some string syntheseizer for backing things up.

Enjoy your listening!

Largo for Strings

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.

Hope's Dream

This piece is for string and Woodwind, and made using mostly Spitfire Woodwinds and CSS.  I think of it as a rhapsody for orchestra with a slightly eastern ring to it,  and it ends accelerando in the manner of a gallop

Dirge for Summer (Piano Improvisation)

Time Lapse

Time Lapse 6

Hello, and welcome to my piano world!   I thrive on tweaking old favorites and writing original compositions as well as continuing with more formal studies.  My style reflects my personality: mostly mellow with a surprising twist of the knife here and there.  I hope to always keep growing and learning, reflecting the beauty of Christ in all I do.
