Serenity is an emotion that is often obtained after going through sadness and understanding but without reaching resignation. She has a special and unmistakable quality, crossed by thoughts that return keeping us in joy and peace. Probably humans only know an image of true serenity which would be reserved for the gods

Music About The Human Emotions (Suite): Part 3 - Serenity

My impressions of when long ago I visited a frozen lake in which I found skaters, a pine forest, the snowy path, a flock of birds and a lot of peace.

The frozen lake. (Landscape - Skaters 1 - The path - Skaters 2 - The Pine Forest - Farewell.)

I leave you here this Spanish Fantasy that aims to translate in the form of a fantastic serenade the spirit of those lands and their people, being on the other hand autonomous music that represents in my imagination many and sometimes indefinite feelings.

Spanish fantasy.

This short track is an electronic statement who replaces a verbal one. Like many statements is pompous and patronizing so it generates interference and feedback, spite of which it continues repetitively.

Sunset Melodies

About the shines and joys of the soul we only notice them for their contrast with the darkness, we just have to appreciate and live them on the surface because if we go deeper we could see something very different. This small work has two parts 1) Prelude, 2) Variations.

Shines and joys: 1 - Prelude

Sometimes the music comes without asking permission and so it progresses to the end  without any regrets, this is a case like that.

Piano Blues and Melodic Variations.

When the moon rises - especially if it is full - the landscape fills with silvery reflections that are like mirrors in the water, in the windows and in the glass even if they are small. This is what this piece is about

The CEREMONIAL FANFARE was composed by me five years ago (along with two other sections) as overture music of a documentary film directed by a friend of mine. Two other musicians also composed parts for the soundtrack. Unfortunately I don 't own the rights to the soundtrack so this is an electronic recreation.
I would like you to comment on your impressions about this and other works that will be showing.

This series of works is a musical journey about the emotions that make us human and that define us at every moment.

Music About The Human Emotions (Suite): Part 1 - Repentance

Joy and happiness are the most sought after and lovable among human emotions. However the moments of joy and happiness in the human being are never absolute or last too long, there is always some drama in them and sometimes they transform into conformity without us noticing it. In our life course we have to experience these emotions some or many times and notice that they elevate and transform us, it is little or nothing human not to feel happiness and joy and a mistake to believe that they will not decline. We will be lucky if they transform into calm and conformity and we will hardly be human if they never capture all of our being.

Music About The Human Emotions (Suite): Part 2 - Happiness and joy.

I've launched this account (and my YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/edwardcortesmusic ) to spread some of the music I've composed, so all the music that I upload to this page is original and I am the "guilty" of it. 
I've composed in different genres, starting with classical music and also pop, rock, jazz, electronic, electro-acoustic, etc. Sorry if some of my tracks are long for these days ears, I begg you to try to be patient.

I hope you can enjoy my music and your comments will be more than welcome,  and I hope to interact with your opinions. 

It's easy to like a track but it's much more valuable to me if you comment or share my music.

To all those who follow me, comment, share or like my works, know that I am very grateful.
