Sonatas II Op.7 No.4 - 1st movement

This piece is built on Ableton Live out of the recordings I recrently made of @kate-gallaher and @stellato-strings playing flute, recorder and violin, sometimes using melodies from John Walsh's The Bird Fancyer's Delight, then also with me on the piano.

The image is from me asking Adobe AI for a picture of 'baroque dreamcatchers on a Sunday afternoon in South London'.

The piece is a response to this week's @naviar-records challenge based on a haiku poem by Jerome Berglund and here's the information about that:

That Happy Ending


Well here I am in that same rut
and the more that I try to break it free,
it's bad luck that always seems to follow me

Its been an aching in my gut.
I take my one step forward then two steps back.
Its just that one little break that I seem to lack.

I don’t know why
but it seems that wherever I turn,
there's another bridge that has started to burn.

It's not that I don’t try,
but I find myself in quick sand
and I'm desperately reaching for one trustful hand.

Gravity, doors and walls are all things,
little things that get in our way,
little things that keep us from having our say.

Let honesty, truth and hope be your wings.
They're the winds that will fill out our sail
and that happy ending 
will be all that is left to your tale.

I know its easy to get down
when all around you there's nothing but angst and pain
sunny days been replaced with the pouring rain.



But never let it keep you down.
Seek out those that find the good in all that’s bad
and pull the happiness out of all that is sad.

Soon you'll be free
and the only thing that you'll see
will be that big blue sky and your destiny.

You hold the key.
It's just another lesson to learn
and another page that is only for you to turn.

Gravity, doors and walls are all things,
little things that get in our way,
little things that keep us from having our say.

Let honesty, truth and hope be your wings.
They're the winds that will fill out our sail,
and that happy ending 
will be all that is left.

So let  the magic take you away
I guess that's all I really wanted to say
It's high time that you try
because there’s never been one bird to fly
that didn’t take that first hopeful leap
toward the sky
