The Rescuer [Instrumental]

Pain becomes a silent guide, shaping consciousness where words can no longer reach. Each echo traces the fragile architecture of resilience, revealing memories that shift, distort, and linger beneath the surface. Through distant logic and inner movement, the self learns to rebuild its own frequency, transforming fracture into clarity and tension into direction. In the silent pulse that survives each collapse, a deeper truth emerges: growth is born where struggle meets intention, and every shadowy fragment becomes part of the path forward.

PROGRAM NOTE
Unlike some of my previous works, Suite for String Orchestra is not inspired by an over-arching programmatic theme. Although there are some technical and motivic relationships between some of the movements—particularly the first and fifth—the movements are generally unrelated and are meant to be noticeably distinct. It is in five short movements and is intentionally written in an “old-fashioned,” somewhat archaic style. I initially played around with the idea of titling this work Old-fashioned Suite or Old Time Suite, but there seems to be a sufficient sprinkling of “new fangled ideas” in this work to make these alternative titles seem inadequate.

The first movement, Allegro vivace, is written in a “mid-20th century American” style. My model for a few of the sections in this movement is the evocative, German phrase Sturm und Drang, which literally translated means “storm and stress.”

In the second movement, Trapped waltz, I imagine an ethereal, yet cognizant waltz floating above the stratosphere, looking for a place to rest, but hobbled and shackled by a pounding rock and roll drumset. I see this as a metaphor for the various dances throughout history that have come and gone but are continually vying for attention in contemporary culture. The movement fades out at the end, as if the waltz is eternally looking for a place to settle down. Admittedly, I was somewhat inspired by the collage works of Charles Ives.

The third movement, Nocturne, begins slowly and sadly, and I imagine the pulse in the beginning as similar to the gentle breathing of someone who is asleep. The middle of the movement is much more intense and violent, and the end is as soft and calm as the beginning. The first chair violin and the first chair violoncello have brief solos in this movement.

Although material from the middle of the fourth movement, Balinese scherzo, is derived from a Balinese scale, the beginning is somewhat chromatic and the ending is essentially based on the E-major scale. This movement is distinctive in that the orchestra is asked to play pizzicato almost the entire time.

The fifth movement, Finale: allegro moderato, is the movement that is most reminiscent of the first movement. The ending combines material from the beginning of both the first and fifth movements.

LYRICS:

We’re just dry stones balanced on our rough edges
Glued with moss and air
Make a wall that stands forever
Keeps the cut grass from the wild

these stones might stand forever,
but those edges make a ladder
Anger climbs

If horns are made to lock
And ears are made to block
Then slammed doors need a knock
Boats are made to rock

My mouth is full of pins
Sharpened words pointed in
If I let them out, my pain ends
But yours begins
These teeth are filed sharp
When they bite, they leave a mark
So I bite my tongue for everlong

We’ve forgotten what it’s like
The flick of hate, the prick of fight
The moment when the tears fall
We’re dead inside, we had it all

The Fight

Call Me Chaos

Lyrics:

Look at me, you can see anything you want to
Because you're free
We try, we all cry when nothing seems to stay right
But we get by, we get by

When you feel alone I'll be by a phone
You're never on your own, you're never on your own
And you'll get by

When you're down, we can hang around
And have too much to drink while we're on the town

Cause you can be and you can see anything you want to
Because you're free

When you feel alone, I'll be by a phone
You're never on you own, I'll be by a phone

And when the feeling's gone, I'll be by a phone
You're never on your own, never on your own
And you'll get by

I am a pro musician and multi-instrumentalist and singer. 
My main instrument is the tenor sax though. 
I was a member of a famous Dutch band, the Dizzy Man's Band. 
I played in big theatre shows and musicals and later on had a solo career as Nick McAlley.
 I still feel the urge to write and record my own music.  
 I thank you for taking the time to listen!  Especially if you're an old soul with a young heart.
