Flowers forgotten at dawn

30 years ago, we lost a good one on the set of The Crow.
To Brandon Lee, an enduring spirit of darkness and light.
We CAN overcome death with our impact.

Call your people today, let them know you love them.

For my dark friends, keep going. TD

SORROW

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.

Comfortably Numb  W/ Janne Hennie

A story calls it all unfolds a shadow hanging over me
A path Is paved but who wait behind the open door 
The waves they always roll too close to me
In my mind I know you will Stampede all over me

Feeling Like a block of stone thinking of the unknown
they whisper words you like to hear those beautiful lies
I travelled many miles to see and hear the same 
They turn your mind inside out until your paralysed 

stampede all over me

Stampede

A litle fun with my Rhodes Piano and some Jazzy Horn Sampels are cool to play with,

Lunatics 111 The Big Trouble

Während der Adventszeit gibt es sie fast in jedem Haus: Vier weihnachtlich dekorierte Kerzen, die nacheinander an jedem Advent angezündet werden. Doch woher kommt eigentlich der Adventskranz?

Ein dicker Kranz mit vier Kerzen: Der Adventskranz ist heute weit verbreitet. Dass der erste Adventskranz allerdings ein Wagenrad war und nicht nur vier, sondern 23 Kerzen hatte, wissen wohl die wenigsten.

Das Rauhe Haus als Ursprungsort des Adventskranzes
Der Ursprung des Adventskranzes liegt im 19. Jahrhundert. 1833 gründete der Pfarrer Johann Hinrich Wichern in Hamburg das sogenannte Rauhe Haus. Der Theologe hatte es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, dort verwahrloste und verwaiste Kinder aus den Elendsvierteln Hamburgs zu betreuen. Obwohl sie ihn und seine Helfer oft an ihre Grenzen brachten, sollten die Kinder mit Gemeinschaft, Arbeit und dem Lesen der Bibel erzogen werden. Noch heute engagiert sich die Stiftung für Betreuungs- und Bildungsangebote.

Das Weihnachtsfest spielte im Rauhen Haus schon damals eine große Rolle. Immer wieder fragten die Kinder den Pfarrer, wann denn endlich Weihnachten sei.

Erster Adventskranz aus einem Wagenrad
Deshalb baute er aus einem alten Wagenrad einen Holzkranz mit vielen Kerzen. Damit markierte er die Tage vom ersten Advent bis zum Heiligabend. Im Jahr 1839, als der Adventskranz erfunden wurde, waren das 23 Tage.

Der erste Adventskranz hatte deshalb 19 kleine rote und vier dicke weiße Kerzen. Jeden Tag bis zum Heiligabend wurde eine neue Kerze angezündet, jeden Adventssonntag eine der großen. So lernten die Kinder das Zählen und wussten immer, wie viele Tage es noch bis Weihnachten waren.

During the Advent season, they can be found in almost every home: four festively decorated candles that are lit one after the other every Advent. But where does the Advent wreath actually come from?

A thick wreath with four candles: the Advent wreath is widespread today. However, very few people know that the first Advent wreath was a wagon wheel and had not just four, but 23 candles.

The Rough House as the place of origin of the Advent wreath
The Advent wreath originated in the 19th century. In 1833, the pastor Johann Hinrich Wichern founded the so-called Rauhe Haus in Hamburg. The theologian had made it his mission to care for neglected and orphaned children from the slums of Hamburg. Although they often pushed him and his helpers to their limits, the children were to be educated through fellowship, work and reading the Bible. The foundation is still committed to providing care and education today.

Even back then, Christmas played a major role at the Rauhes Haus. The children repeatedly asked the pastor when Christmas would finally be.

First Advent wreath made from a wagon wheel
So he built a wooden wreath with lots of candles from an old wagon wheel. He used it to mark the days from the first Advent to Christmas Eve. In 1839, when the Advent wreath was invented, that was 23 days.

The first Advent wreath therefore had 19 small red and four thick white candles. A new candle was lit every day until Christmas Eve, and one of the large candles was lit every Sunday in Advent. This taught the children to count and they always knew how many days were left until Christmas.

Fir greenery on the Advent wreath
It was not until around 20 years later that people finally decorated the Advent wreath with fir greenery, as is still common today. By the beginning of the 20th century, the wreath had become established in Protestant churches and in many families.

The first wreath is said to have been hung in a Catholic church in Cologne in 1925. Since the end of the Second World War, the Advent wreath can be found all over the world and in all possible forms.

From the composer: Imagining a bouquet of roses as an expression of gratitude for a gift so divine it can't be put into words.
