Beautiful composition and touch on the piano... emotional performance.

The haunting beauty in the decay of the sounds changes each time...:)

Inspired by the poem "Acquainted with the Night" by the American poet Robert Frost. 

Acquainted with the Night

I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain—and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light.

I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.

I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another street,

But not to call me back or say good-bye;
And further still at an unearthly height,
One luminary clock against the sky

Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. 
I have been one acquainted with the night.

Acquainted with the Night

The Air Raid Sirens wail... the innocents seek cover underground, but the onslaught continues.  Shelling and rockets from afar and bombs from above terrify and destroy without mercy as the cries of ordinary folks punctuate the air day and night. 😢 Such is Putin's war on Ukraine in the Spring of 2022.


This Track was born of a Collaboration with the WindDancer, Georg Boehme @Georg-Boehme  
We used my solo Piano track 'The Night Before Spring' as our stepping off point, with Georg adding improvised Baritone Sax, Bass Clarinet and Flute.

My Arrangement is a Tone Poem that tries to describe the war, and man's inhumanity to man. I pray that like the hopeful crescendos rising throughout the piece, that brotherhood and sanity will dawn and that peace will triumph, as the Weapons of war are beaten into ploughshares yet again.

May the heroic stand of the people of Ukraine continue to inspire and light the way for all mankind. ✌

Arranged and Mixed by Anomon

The War Before Spring  feat. Georg Boehme

I created and sang this text and vocals myself, but a female singer with a warm soft voice would be ideal for this track. Any suggestions?

Now I need  to thank you for this most pleasant evening
in that charming restaurant,
and I agree: Serrated knifes are just perfect for steaks.

Really? What makes you think this road is creepy?
It's dark, for sure,
but it's just a twenty minutes walk to town.
Oh, yes! I've heard about the brutal killings,
the stabbed corpses.
I read the news.
They suspect there are two killers, actually. 

That's peculiar... Do you really want to have right now 
a glass of red wine in this cold dark forest?
Well, why not?
Girls enjoy surprises, you know...

This is a fascinating situation.
You see, I saw you stealing a knife when we left the restaurant,
and I saw you hide it in your jacket.
Now, guess what...
I stole a knife, too.
