"A musical vision of Spring, a time of renewal and growth. From out of the cold ground comes a promise of warmer days. Then April showers herald an explosion of life, shorter nights and lighter days full of the sound of birdsong. As the season moves on, there is a slowing of change as Summer draws near."

Description

Spring, finds me trying to express, in music, my feelings about this season. Below is a attempt at doing this in words too. This is the third of four orchestral pieces that describe the four temperate seasons of the year.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Spring
The waiting is over. The Winter chill recedes and there is a tacit acceptance to the demands of birth and rebirth. A sign of fresh green poking through the ground is a welcome sight, a simple signal that all will be well.

Very quickly, in a sudden rush, there is life in the hedgerows and the sound of birds heralding a new season. One of life and growth and warmer days and rainy times, but overall a feeling of hope.

You have longed for this moment, a chance to put away your Winter clothes and feel the sun upon your face again. The riot of change will continue as the life-giving sun takes longer marches through the sky.

Spring of all seasons is a time to revel in simply feeling alive.

I really wanted a lightness to this piece and it took me a while of tweaking to get what I heard in my head. I didn't want it to sound like Autumn, or Summer, both weightier seasons, but not as thin and austere as Winter. So this piece is mostly woodwinds and strings with hardly any percussion

I didn't need bottom-end, I needed more focus in the melody interaction and there was a missing link. It needed to be light and airy and what else says light and airy like the harp. After about a day working on the harp part it started to give the feel I wanted. The harp glissandi were useful as bookends to the section it features in. 

The piece begins with an echo of Winter and the bell tree, the piccolo and alto flute describe the first signs of growth before giving way to pizzicato strings of April Showers. The harp section is a semi-formal counterpoint section with the harp melody inter-woven with the solo violin in my attempt to describe the rapid growth of the Season. The final section brings in the brass and is a calmer end to the piece that hints at the glory of Summer just around the corner.

Music and Lyrics by Meindert Jansma and Carlo Neve, 2021

Razor Jane

Here she comes 
Dressed in black leather
Watch her swayin' her hips 
licking her bloodred lips

Stilletto boots shine 
in the moonlight
She's sharp as a knife 
Man, she was made to survive

She crawls like a tiger 
hunting her prey
You better watch out 
Cause she's coming your way

You're under her spell 
she can make you go wild 
You know you're a man 
but you feel like child

Razor Jane, Razor Jane,
Tell me what's your game
Razor Jane, Razor Jane,
You are driving me insane

Her icecold stare 
makes you shiver
You are hypnotized  
by a devil in disguise

Then she's gone 
leaving you in confusion
Mysterious Jane
Will you see her again

She left in the dark 
without leaving a trace
But sometimes at night 
You can still see her face

You're under her spell 
She can make you go wild
You know you're a man  
But you feel like a child

Razor Jane, Razor Jane,
Tell me whats you're game
Razor Jane, Razor Jane,
You are driving me insane

She left in the dark
without leaving a trace
But sometimes at night
You can still see her face

So hard to define
She can make you go wild
You know you're a man 
But you feel like a child

Razor Jane,
Razor Jane

Razor Jane

Razor Jane (here she comes)

I don't know
if there's a way out of here?
I can’t take another minute,
Never mind another year

I miss the simple things,
Your touch and your kiss
But you’ve thrown away the love we had
And I can’t go on like this

With heavy heart I dread the only
future I can see
Where I leave you behind
For what you did to me

I remember nights of passion
Fights that would never end
The line between your joy and tears
I could never comprehend
I should stay - I promised you
For better or for worse
What started as a blessing
You turned into a curse

We both know
that there's no way out of here
we've thrown away what was precious
all the things that we hold dear

The trust we built
Is shattered and is gone
I forgave you once too often
I've been hurting far too long

With heavy heart I dread the only
future I can see
Where I leave you behind
For what you did to me

I remember nights of passion
Fights that would never end
The line between your joy and tears
I could never comprehend
I should stay - I promised you
For better or for worse
What started as a blessing
You turned into a curse

Remember when
We stood as one
You leaned on me
And I wrapped you in my arms
The words we whispered
late at night
left truths unspoken

I remember nights of passion
Fights that would never end
The line between your joy and tears
I could never comprehend
I should stay - I promised you
For better or for worse
What started as a blessing
You turned into a curse

The Eyes Of All

FromTheOtherSide

I remember some advice my parents said
But I didn't take much notice then
It was to the point and that was the point
It was keep it simple and go ahead 

Keep it simple do it well
Wherever we go in life is swell   CHORUS
Complication is just hell
Keep it in the real world 

Whenever we try to do too much
Just step back from such and such
Get back to basics, back to life
And ditch all that strife 

And keep it simple do it well
Whereever we go in life is swell   CHORUS
Complication is just hell
Keep in the real world 

Just a final note to add
Complex lives are really sad
Think back to when you were young
When you weren't quite so highly strung 

CHORUS

I'M HEARING A SOUND AND IT'S LOUD 
AND IT'S CALLING AND SHOUTING TO ME
I'M HEARING THE WORDS OF A SONG ALL ALONG
THEY'RE ALL RINGING YOUR NAME

MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING
I'M HEARING SOMETHING STRANGE OUTSIDE
MAYBE IT'S JUST ME AND MYSELF

THE LIVING THE LAUGHING THE TALKING
THE CRYING IT COME TO ME
I'M HEARING THE WORD'S THAT YOU LEFT
NOW YOUR GONE AND IT'S CLEAR TO SEE

I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING
I'M FEELING SOMETHING STRANGE OUTSIDE
I BELIVE IT'S JUST ME AND MYSELF
(break)
I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING
I'M FEELING SOMETHING

SO DEEP IN THE NIGHT AND IT'S BRIGHT
AND IT'S LIKE IT'S SHINING ON ME
I'VE BEEN RIDING THE TIDE IT'S SO HIGH
LIKE A KITE I WISH YOU COULD SEE

I SEEING SOMETHING
I'M FEELING SOMETHING STRANGE OUTSIDE
IT'S ONLY SHINING ON ME AND MYSELF

ME AND I

ME MYSELF I

ME AND MYSELF

ME & MYSELF (see info for video link)

Some hypnotic motives and rithmic dizziness feel, and some impro over...There is some "toilet tile reverb" on the guitar impro part (my adiction to reverbs was definitely out of control at that time...)

A Song for You

Original song,  music made in Garageband  (And with some help from a good friend)  😊

Lyrics:

When you spoke to me
I just turned away
Didn't know where to look
Or what to say

When you said Baby hey
Please speak to me
I froze, couldn't find the words
it was bad to see

I am just not the one who speaks out loud
Iam just a quiet girl in a loudly world

Should i speak for you?
Or should i do it for me?
should i just close my eyes and set you free?

Or should i be true
With what i already knew
That you're my only one 
And i love you

I need to find a way
the right words to say
I can't go on like this
day after day

I will be true to you
And to myself
I need to open up so you can love me too

I will speak for you
And i will do it for me
I will not close my eyes
I will be free

I will be true to you
And what i already know
That you're my only one
And i love you so

Na na na na na na....

"Rays of Summer Sun" 

Here is a small summer-related excercise I played the other day using my old Korg SGProX as a midi keyboard! Everything except the brass was created using sounds from the wonderful UVI Emulation+ virtual synthesizer (representing the lovely hardware sounds of the E-mu Emulator, Emulator II, Emulator III and Drumulator). The brass is from the UVI JP Legacy/Saturn-6 (cf. Jupiter 6).
