Jack Frost is here

Jack Frost Is Here

I am wrapping the year with a cover.  This one here is not really a Christmas song but is the third Muramatsu-Prizeman compositions that I covered.  The song was originally performed by the British boys choir called “Libera”.  It's certainly not hard for you to notice that I struggled with the vocals but I still like to do it.  Please bear with me and hope you enjoy the song.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Merry Christmas everyone.

[LYRICS]
Angel take your wings and fly,
Watching over me
See me through my night time,
And be my leading light
 
Angel you have found the way,
Never fear to tread
You'll be a friend to me,
Angel spread your wings and fly

[Pre-Chorus] 
Voces angelorum gloria,
Dona eis pa-cem
For you're always near to me
In my joy and my sorrow
For you ever care for me
Lifting my spirits to the sky
 
[Chorus]
Where a million angels sing
 In amazing harmony
And the words of love they bring
To the never ending story
A million voices sing
To the wonder of the light
So I hide beneath your wings
You are my guardian, angel of mine

Can you be my angel now
Watching over me
Comfort and inspire me
To see our journey through
Can I be your friend indeed
From all cares set free
The clouds would pass away
Then I'd be an angel too

Repeat Pre-Chorus
Repeat Chorus

Angel      (cover)

Is there always danger in risk?  Or can risk be exciting and freeing? Playing it safe may be smart, but for me, I was too busy trying to please others, and fear of failure. I always played it safe on the piano. I was afraid to make a mistake.  Now I improvise, and take lots of risks.  But most of all, I play what makes me feel good.  I can dream about all the emotions and desires music has brought into my life. I can fly!

4th Advent - Merry Christmas 🎄🎁🌟

Suchet jetzt die Tage so zu färben,
Der Moment hält seine Farbe treu,
Dass, wenn nach und nach die Freuden sterben,
Bleibender Genuss im Rückblick sei.
--------------------------------------------------
Seek now to color the days so,
The moment holds its color true,
That when the joys gradually die,
Lasting pleasure in retrospect be.
---------------------------------------------------
While composing the song, it occurred to me: "What if you opened this door to this room from outside, where you have lived, worked and pondered for years, and you met yourself? See yourself sitting on this leather chair in front of the desk." Would you tap yourself on the shoulder and ask: "Are you awake?" The middle part of the song is about this absurd idea... Locking the door again, he continues to work at the wooden desk, oblivious to everything around him. Sometimes he looks at the window and thinks: "What was that just now?" Trapped in the room, feeling safe, but alone, wallowing in thoughts and memories. Until the day dawns...

Chamber Of Rememberance

A short orchestral piece that rises from a gentle, delicate beginning towards more intense interplay between solo cello and full choir.

Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor 1-1

A small note on my own behalf: I have noticed that my playback figures have dropped dramatically. The statistics show that the number of playbacks has dropped from 2000 per week to just under 200.
On the one hand, this is frustrating, as everyone sees this as an indicator and confirmation of their work. On the other hand, figures are not particularly important, but one wonders what is wrong. In my opinion, SC has changed a lot, uploading tracks has become more complicated and constant security queries are annoying.
In addition, great artists are disappearing from the platform, partly by their own choice, partly because they have been banned, the algorithm has “recognized” them as spam and mercilessly deleted their account. I'm still a paying member, but my attitude towards this has changed...

Please let me know your experiences and impressions.

When I don't have the time to actively listen to my favorite artists on soundcloud, I just leave the stream running...while washing up in the kitchen, for example 😆

********************************************************************

A long, long time ago, there was an organ in the Christmas-decorated living room in his parents' house, where Frank grew up. Originally bought by his father for his two older siblings, they showed no interest in playing the organ. Frank, however, did. White and black keys and giving off strange sounds. 

So at the age of 9 he began to let his fingers circle on this instrument, searching for the right keys like on a typewriter. And another 9 years would pass before he could buy his first own instrument. Already at the age of 13 he made notes about the then current synthesizers, bought one magazine after the other and visited music fairs in Frankfurt, Germany.

His first keyboard was the Yamaha DSR-2000, which he bought in a music store near his hometown Biebertal. In installments! Finally he could develop himself further - away from the limited tonality of the small organ. The built-in 8-track sequencer helped him to reach unimagined heights. 
Little by little his equipment expanded and his ambition to create music like that of Jean-Michel Jarres came closer. Influenced by this and countless other musicians of the time, his interest grew, but he taught himself everything. Not even having attended a music school or being able to read music at all, he wrote one song after another and recorded them on the only medium available to him at the time: audio cassettes.
Many of these recordings are unfortunately lost forever, because cassettes are and were not the best recording medium. He has to try to play many of his songs from memory. 

In 2007, he fulfilled a long-awaited wish: to buy a KORG. He had always wanted to own one, but with the latest synthesizers at the time of their release having a purchase price of over 6000 D-marks (the currency of the time in the 1980s and 1990s), that dream of owning one was far away. So in 2007 he bought a used KORG 01W/FD at ebay. And as before with the purchase of the Yamaha keyboard, a completely new world opened up to him.

In addition, there were expanders and sound modules from Kawai, Roland and Yamaha (K1m, SC-55, QY10). Six years later his enthusiasm for making music ebbed and rediscovered his hobby (which it always was and still is). In 2018 in April he decided to present his music to a wider audience and uploaded his first song on the platform soundcloud. Since that time, thanks also to the ever-evolving software, he continues to evolve, experiment and relive his times through music.
