Copy of Journey short playlist NEW

This is a second remix of my track "Journey out of Darkness" using the BBCSO orchestral library.

Journey Out Of Darkness Second REMIXscore January 2022

A gentle lullaby with the rythm of a small boat rocking to and fro in the ocean swell. (Originally uploaded 2 years ago under the title '20 Jamuary 2020 Toccata REMIX II')

Boat Song 2 April 2022 Remix III (Mastered)

This piece moves through its various phases at a slow and deliberate pace overcoming difficulties encountered along the way and moving on to a relaxed ending. This remix contains edited segments improving the voice leading which in some places is unusual to say the least. The track has also been updated using the Soundcloud automatic mastering service.

Solemn Aria 19 April 2020 Remixed 4 July 2022 (Mastered)

'Walking music': Tempo revised upward to 110bpm
 from tempo of the original  August 2021 which was far too slow. Then revised  the tempo downward to 102bpm to let iit breathe a bit but still leaving it a true tune for walking.  Mastered by Soundcloud mastering service this version uses a different sample set to the original

A short bright and dynamic piece for Chamber Orchestra composed in 

june 2021 and revised in June 2023.

Symphonic Invention

Symphonic Invention Revised 1 June 2023

A fairly uninhibited venture into traditional tonal Melodic-Harmonic territory in which the object of the exercise was to please the senses with completely recognisable tonal stimuli, this track is a reworking of f,,,Mmm,m,mmmm a piece I composed originally in 2019. In the current revision I could not resist the impulse to make several 'daring' modulations which may place more of a burden on the listener than was my original intention
I made use in this case of the eMastered online mastering service.

Recapitulations 1 August

Adagio responding to international events suggests to me the question; 'Is catharsis a valid aim in music today'
This piece was mastered by John Cafarella

Adagio for Our Times (Remix VIII 3 December 2023)

This is a variation of a sort on a musical fragment which appears in the theme music for the TV series 'All Creatures great and Small' and also in the first movement of my Tripartite Fantasy and is constructed as a free flowing set of improvisations on a simple basic idea This simple idea is treated in a linear polyphonic way resulting in a texture which moves between consonant and dissonant harmony ending on a C major chord.
This is an updated revision of the original track using different samples.
This version was mastered by John Cafarella

Dr M Sort Of A TV Theme (Revised 5 December 2023)

Modelled on a movement of the Danish composer Carl Neilsen's  4th Symphony this short piece unfolds in a series of terse dramatic interludes.
My heartfelt thanks go out to John Cafarella for his sensitive mastering of this piece
