Maputo . Short version.

Uê: Quartet for Clarinet-Guitar-Harp-Bassclarinet

For my friend and colleague, Dutch composer Kevin Bloemhof. My twin brother.
The Jazz voice, always hesitant...eventually overwhelmed by the classical voice. Perhaps the jazz voice represents a person, and the Classical voice represents....everything else.

My grandma's favourite song. that's papa on guitar, me taking a turn at vocal. I also do a pretty lame job trying to strum accompaniment while dad plays the middle solo. Originally recorded around 2014 with my phone mic, I also recently (in 2024) used AI tools to isolate the vocal & guitar into separate tracks so I could better adjust the balance. happy with the result. 

This song’s got a lot of meaning in our family. About as close to a perfect country song as it gets for me. 

(written in 1946 by Fred Rose. covered by the likes of Hank, Roy, Charlie, Elvis, and of course, Willie.)

Here's one other song we did together around the same time:

All comments welcome, and don't be shy to be critical or suggest ideas to help me improve. :)

"Faltering" is a multi-track piano piece that is derived from many strong emotions I have experienced throughout this year, some the happiest I have ever felt, and some very tough to deal with.
