4th song in the series:
"Arrangements of Alessandra Gato's piano pieces"
The B section had a kind of Chinese feel to it, so I decided to use sounds and loops from that part of the world.
Also added a guitar solo...just for the fun of it :)

To celebrate the birth of our son, Sean, we decided to rearrange Ennio Morricone's title track "Sean Sean" from the movie "Duck, You Sucker" ("Giu' la Testa").
I think the reason for this choice is pretty obvious :)
Hope you enjoy it.

I was asked to make an arrangement of a simple but very pretty piano tune written by my friend, Alessandra Gato.
I decided to go for an orchestral arrangement using classical instruments only.

Gallop

My latest composition, dedicated to my new love. 
It features a strong piano ostinato in the A section with a nervous rhythm section in 3/4 contrasting the mellow melody.
Then an abrupt change in the B section which introduces a modal interchange (from A minor to A major), a change in the tempo AND of the time signature.
