This really sounds great to my ears. Full of beautiful nuances.

Martin: Bass, rhythm, main guitars, shruti, instrumental arrangement & recording.
Another collaboration re-imagining the tradition, with Martin Kirwan…we’ve made this one a free download if you enjoy it. Martin has composed and played the instrumental on layered guitar tracks and shruti, and I've re-arranged the lyrics and vocal melody. As always, I'm blown away by his beautiful playing and imaginative blending of cultural sounds. https://soundcloud.com/tradladsaughrim

This gem can be found in Buntings Ancient Music of Ireland, and the "literal  translation from the original Irish" was undertaken by a Miss Mary Balfour, (there is a slightly different  translation in my 1897 book The Minstrelsy of Ireland). 
The original Irish song was believed to have been collected by an agent of Bunting's associates the McCrackens - a man called Patrick Lynch...who collected over 200 songs from singers around the Mayo area in the early 1800's but this man was never acknowledged in the publication. 
The original tune was believed to have been first published as "Ye Trugh" by Neal in 1724, but Bunting got it from Charles Byrne at a harpist's gathering around the 1790's.

"Arise from thy slumbers, oh fairest of maids!
With me wilt thou wander to Truigha's green shades,
Where sorrel and bright rowan berries abound,
And nuts in rich clusters the branches have crowned.

A bed of fresh ivy to rest thee I'll bring,
The blackbirds and thrushes around us shall sing,
And there with unceasing attachment I'll prove,
How soothing the cares of affection and love.

In my contemporary arrangement I've made the English lyrics flow a bit better.

Well, how lucky am I !  So thrilled to have been able to collaborate with Oddrun and Debra on this classic folk ballad.  Its always been one of my favorites.  Oddrun's tender vocal really captures the regret of the poem, and Debra's piano arrangement is the perfect companion to that wonderful voice.  I do hope you'll like our folk jazz rendition.

„NOIRE“  (15.07.2023 )

Dunkle Nacht Piano ist das Thema einer Musikreihe in loser Folge.

Musikalische Zwiegespräche eines Komponisten mit seinem Piano in der Nacht.
Den erst in den stillen Stunden der Nacht findet er Ruhe um seinen Klangträumen zu begegnen. 

Mit diesem Titel wird das Dunkle das Nichts durchdringende Schwarz, die Verlorenheit im Nichts klanglich vom einsamen Pianisten eingefangen.

Vielen Dank für Eure geschätzte Aufmerksamkeit.

"NOIRE" (07/15/2023 )

Dark Night Piano is the subject of a music series in loose succession.

Musical dialogues of a composer with his piano at night.
Only in the quiet hours of the night does he find peace to meet his sound dreams.

With this title, the darkness, the blackness that penetrates nothing, the lostness in nothingness is captured sonically by the lonely pianist.

Thank you for your valued attention.

The path to Vendor

a decidedly gothic start to this piece and although the theme is consistent, there are developments which may be construed as unorthodox.....
think Ryuchi Sakomoto's "Sheltering Sky". 
the harmonies provide a hint of something unearthly or maybe from the crypt? 
the efx include local rooks and a very ancient bell located in Veauche, France.

Hi there!
Welcome to my site. Since my childhood I've always been fascinated by music and I've also always been composing music trough the piano or the guitar as long as I can remember. 
That's mostly where it all starts, by the piano. A melody, a theme that gets into my head and I immediately start to arrange and orchestrate it. 
My music is fully notated and can be performed live. Scores and parts are available for all works.
My music here on Soundcloud is mostly symphonic, cinematic and emotional. My music is suitable for film, commercials,television and videogames, so if there's someone out there who would want to use my music, don't hesitate to contact me at
kalle.edh@gmail.com

Thanks for visiting! :)
