Piano: Vivian Lee


Good night my dear
you needn’t fear
when you are scared
I’ll hold your hands

someday you’ll fly
high up and away
but when you fall
i’ll hold you up

There’ll be times  you feel alone
you’d think the world  has abandoned you
you look around  there’s no one there
but i’m not going anywhere

i cannot hold you forever
someday i’ll leave this world
but fear not my beautiful little girl
i’d watch you from high above 

sunny skies
rainbows to brighten up your days

promise me you'll believe
no matter how hard it is

whenever you cry
or when you feel all alone  

you'll never lose faith
i’ll be here always



cause i’m not going anywhere


[Composition] I'm not going anywhere

This is a practice of my composition. One of the reason I decided to post this is I would like to share this to all of you, and also practice always better than performance :P

thank you all my lovely players <3

piano: sue jin
flute: yen yin
cello: zi qing

This is an instrumental trio piece which includes the chinese dizi, cello and piano. This music describes the story of another piece named <哈依莎>. <哈依莎> is a chinese folk song that describes a girl who is waiting for her lover in the prairie. That story of the song reflects what we are experiencing in this big world, longing for love and freedom. 哈依莎 is the name of the main character in this story, she had a sad ending in the previous song because she lost her faith and hope in the prairie. She knows that her lover would never come back and in the end she stayed alone until she died. However, this music has a different mood from that song. Despite being an instrumental piece, 哈依莎的新郎 is rather lively, animated and lyrical.The chinese dizi, cello and piano creates counter-lines in between the music to  enrich the texture and sound. This music describes 哈依莎’s life before losing her lover. They were happy, they looked forward to their future and they dreamed about their life in the prairie. The chinese elements in this music reflects the environmental setting and the mood of the story. Timbre of the chinese dizi gives the character and sets the mood of the piece.

This is a big band piece which include 2 alto saxophones, 2 tenor saxophones, 4 trumpets, 3 trombones, piano, bass and drum. This is a mid-fast, 32-bar AABA form swing piece. This music gives the relaxing and playful mood to the listeners. After the chorus is being played once, the alto saxophone and trumpet will take the solo part. Besides section A and B, a saxophone soli part was written to further deliver and develop the mood of the music. After the saxophone soli part, the music grows bigger and the texture grows thicker as well. Arrangement of horns playing and dynamics becomes richer to build up towards the big ending of the music.

PS: my drummer made a mistake at the transition from the section A to section B, so it sounded a bit weird there....hahaha....anyhow, hope you guys enjoy this tune, Friday night. :)

This song includes 3horns-trumpet, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, piano, organ, guitar, bass and drum. This is a funky blues tune. There are 3 main sections in the song. Section A is a 12-bar-blues, swing melody is played on funky 16th rhythm section. Section B is the part where everyone play in unison with the hits. The 3rd main section of the song is the horn soli part. This is a simple song but the soli part would give the intensity of the song and bring the song towards the climax and ends the song at the high end part.
