Someone once said that symphonic orchestra is the most sophisticated musical instrument humanity ever invented. And I always felt like this is an ultimate challenge for a composer to write music for such a giant. I started my first shy attempts to compose orchestral music a few years ago. Of course, at that time it was all done using digital libraries. I did dream that one day I may experience the thrill of hearing a live orchestra performing my compositions but that was truly an ephemeral dream, no actual plans to do it. Until now.

This summer my husband and I took a composing course (focusing on film composing). As a part of that course I had a homework: to compose a piece for a string orchestra. I chose the solo piano piece I wrote earlier this year as a foundation. It took a few evenings to come up with the orchestral arrangements - again, using digital libraries... at first! But then my husband said that he feels like this piece deserves to be recorded with live orchestra. And so it happened - two months ago we hired a session orchestra from Budapest. We only had half an hour session to record 2.5 minutes of this composition. Gosh, it was such an amazing experience! When I heard 40 musicians playing the harmony I burst in tears. Then I was shocked again to learn that my composition was nominated for Hollywood Music in Media Awards.

I called this piece "Distant Memories". It was written during one of the lockdowns when I was on the edge of breaking down. I devoted it to my mom, who lives on the other side of Atlantic but she used to come here every year.. until 2020.. and then 2021.. I hope we will see each other next year. But meanwhile all we have are those "distant memories".

The original piano solo version is coming next week!

In this turbulent time I didn't even know whether to post this song or not. It was supposed to be a present for my husband's birthday back in January. The world was different back then. We couldn't finish recording it on time, though, so we postponed it to Valentine's day first and to my own birthday next. It happened a month ago but I wasn't much online to upload it to SoundCloud. So here it comes.. And I will "hold on to memories of us", memories of the happier times when we celebrated our 18th anniversary together on top of Eiffel tower, "passing the people - strangers with no worries".
---
Hold me when I'm alone,
Don't let me fall,
And if you let me – I will become fearless. Only because you
Told me that I am strong, 
I'll carry on.
I will remember you from a few pictures...

Chorus:	I will remember Paris in your eyes.
		I will remember how fast the time flies.
		I will hold on to memories of us.
		They belong to Paris in the past...

Look, those windows are doors
Passing us by,
Passing the people – strangers with no worries, only because 
The wind blows and by surprise 
Opens our eyes
To all the street lights hiding inside stories.

Chorus

Bridge: 	Kisses under the bridge,
		Space with no time,
		Time with no limits, memories with no hurry.
		I will be gone
		When the wind blows, and by surprise
		opens our eyes to all that Paris with another end of story...

Lyrics:

If we're not one then let's be water,
If we're not flowing we're not real.
I love your colour when you falter,
You're glowing sapphire in the steel.

Step out your world and drape it round me,
I'll slide my arms through what's undone.
We are the could and would and should be,
Where rivers blush under the sun.
Where rivers blush under the sun.

And be that as it may, still, still...
There's something inexplicable
In finding all of me could be all of you.

Just for a while, don't speak.
Just for a while, don't speak.
Just for a while, don't speak
And listen...

I lost the girl in me but caught her,
Your boy was tired of everyone.
They bound together in the water
And shimmered silver in the sun.
