Good Classical I Found 6

Project Completed 

When I first heard about the occurrence very early in my youth I couldn't believe it, later it broke my heart and brought me to tears... I vowed that I would never remain as silent as many are on this issue, generations of descendants lost to vapours... to my knowledge the most horrible event in recognised and acknowledged history

I vowed to make a song in dedication to the event... while it goes no where to restoring the massive amount of lives lost, it serves as notification to many unaware and a dedication to those aware of what happened once upon a horrid time

AIR
Music by Mirabell & Overdrive

Air is a song produced in collaboration with Norwegian singer-songwriter Mirabell and is clearly inspired by J. S. Bach's Air on the G string. This track is an experimental work that mixes modern vocals with baroque music.

Mirabell owns a magnificent voice and is a talented instrumentalist (she plays piano and harp). I recommend a visit to her SC page: https://soundcloud.com/mirabell

Strings are from Trailer Strings Kontakt library. Choir from Amadeus Symphonic Orchestra Kontakt library. Harpsichord from Fluffy Audio Rinascimento Kontakt library. Soloists are samples taken from the Noiiz website.

Cover art is the sculpture "The Angel" by Benjamin Victor, available on Pinterest at https://br.pinterest.com/pin/566961040602686459/

Hope you enjoy.

Piano Quintet No. 1 - Simon Alami | Mostly Modern Festival

My first experiment in a somewhat sonata-like movement that loosely follows the exposition-development-recapitulation cycle, where the second, G major (tethering even on D major) returns in the recapitulation in the home key of C minor. It took me longer to finish than anticipated but in the end, I'm extremely pleased with the result. 

The main theme is one of those themes that simply appears almost on its own when your hands land on the piano. It was a delightful, but chalenging experience trying to develop it and derive new themes from it, in the end I've scraped as many themes as I've included. 

I dedicate this work to my dear friend Ivan Dadić and his wife, Katarina Dadić, who liked the melody so much that she used it as a ringtone for her alarm clock.

Allegro for Piano, C Minor

My new Nocturne that I've started writting a few years ago, the main theme and the E-flat majorish restatement of the main theme came quite swiftly and naturally. However, I found myself a bit stuck on how to proceed further, and as a result, I neglected it for quite some time and focused on other musical pursuits.

However, just around this Christmas, as I leisurely sat by my piano, a new theme and continuation unexpectedly presented themselves, and the composition practically wrote itself from there.

I feel that this piece really captures the essence of a Nocturne, depicting the stillness of the night, scarcely moved by a lonely star or a lamppost on a street, and also conveys the painful but sometimes even sweet melancholy of one's solitude.

Reflecting on the journey through time has been the catalyst for this track. Life, an intricate tapestry woven with both joyous and challenging episodes, leaves an indelible mark on our existence. Within this intricate tapestry, we encounter individuals who transiently cross our paths, leaving behind fleeting memories—perhaps a gaze, a smile, or even the embrace of love. Yet, alongside these ephemeral connections, we confront the inevitability of separations, the weight of regrets, and the poignant absence of those cherished souls who have departed, leaving behind nothing but the echoes of bygone moments. In essence, this track seeks to encapsulate the profound and multifaceted nature of the human experience, where the interplay of emotions, connections, and farewells contributes to the rich mosaic of memories that define our lives.

Soulful

Symphony Op I

The fourth of the Xuberance series breaks its paradigm slightly, parts of it follow straight Xuber and other parts are a weird Switched-On-Bach style miscellany or potpourri.  Altogether pleasing if not exactly what I initially sat down to construct.

pdqb allows his songs a modicum of dignity, though they may seem undeservedly pretentious, sad, even outrageous to a casual listener.

Siltmörterbruch

A little chill piece that started out planning to be more energetic.  Title borrowed from a Twitter thread about waking up at 4AM being good for the flow state of mind.  And thereby, for creation.

This should prove to be one of the better quantization projects I've done so far.

Hell Is Locked From The Inside

So here's to the arrival of something about departures.
Learned this expression from coworkers early in my working life, when someone fairly high-up left.

The wistful cabal saw him depart/
And their mood was nothing if not quite tart

Don't Let The Door Hit Ya In The Ass On The Way Out

Gravelle-Perinbam are kicking off 2024 with something completely different: a classical guitar piece in a mixed meter of 6/8+3/4, reminiscent of the America song from West Side Story.

See the video on YouTube:
https://youtu.be/z9mJD7HAB-c?si=A6GxaP2pzYCZ5q5B

Rob would like to dedicate this song to Rik Emmett, who showed him that it's cool to include stand-along classical pieces on rock albums!

Letra y música de los hermanos Ladaga.

Himno al Cristo de Castiliscar

¡Oh! Cristo Buen Jesús  de cielo rico tesoro
¡Oh! Cristo Buen Jesús del cielo rico tesoro
a Castiliscar cedido, a Castiliscar cedido

Sed de nuestras penas íntimo consuelo
Sed de nuestras dichas manantial querido
Sed nuestro bienestar aquí en el mundo
Sed nuestro premio eterno allá en el cielo
Sed nuestro premio eterno allá en el cielo

Que aquí nosotros ante tu altar postrados
Juramos desterrar la blasfemia y no ofenderte
Y mil veces morir que dejar de amarte
Y mil veces morir que dejar de amarte

Adiós, adiós de este pueblo
Vida, vida y amor
Adiós, adiós, vida y amor
Adiós , adiós.

Himno Al Cristo de Castiliscar (arreglo; ver texto)

A therapeutic journey into a mix of jazz, classical, and a blend of types of electronica.  And a wry, gradual observation that promotion tends to only go as far as you push it.  At least I make my fellow musicians laugh a little.
