Walking Alone With My Thoughts (played by Mariza) (#piano)

CHERRIES, STRAWBERRIES & BUTTERFLIES
The title kind of speaks for itself, a gentle, friendly and uplifting tune that brings some vintage sounds in. A few different sections alternate with the main hook or signature to lift off or explore some different directions. I kept the instrumentation light and smooth, like a quartet setting, with very little overdubs for that vintage feel. Like those seventies recordings I love.

I hope you'll enjoy this and as always I really appreciate your comments, likes and shares!

Cherries, Strawberries & Butterflies | Dan van den Berg

Tempest in my way
Trotted up to say
May you go with the greats 
and hold out for decay. 

Got put through the rout
And spoke like I had gout

Fridged on the earth 
Hold onto the earth
Standing on earth 
Tempered in my way
Tempered and watered
Tempered and watered
Tempered and watered
Tempered and watered

She looked at me sideways
She had to study Monet
Pressured by her parents
Desperate to horde the carrots

Stomping up and stomping down
 Holding breath until she’s blue
Spoiled brat with a simese cat
Gonna tell on you

Tempered and watered
Tempered and watered
Tempered and watered
Tempered and watered

If you want to
If you want to
Tempered and watered


Every night we're holding court
Holding court
Holding court
Holding court  
Tempered and watered

Tempered and Watered (Calmed and Nurtured)

Dedicated to Minah Choe.

The word “serenade” is French for ‘evening song’ or ‘evening music’,

From the Italian “sera” or French “soir”. In as much as it is also considered to be a song sung or played by a lover beneath his betrothed’s window, this particular serenade touches more upon the theme of evening, and is akin to a nocturne.

About the performers:

Minah Choe was born in Seoul, Korea and began her studies at the age of 8. She graduated with Bachelor of Music with First Class of Honors from the Sydney Conservatorium where she was admitted whilst at high school and received scholarships throughout her studies. She was a full scholarship holder at the Australian National Academy of Music in 2002. In 2004 Minah received master's degree from the Indiana University Jacob’s School of Music under the guidance of Prof. Janos Starker and continued with doctoral degree as his teaching assistant at IU. Currently Minah is pursuing her Doctor of Musical Arts degree at the Sydney Conservatorium while working as a freelance cellist in major orchestras and performing widely in various chamber music concerts and recitals. ​Minah has appeared as a soloist with several orchestras including Sydney Symphony, Christchurch Symphony, Nizhny-Novgrod Philharmonic, Indiana Univeristy Philharmonic, Bloomington Camerata, Sydney Conservatorium Chamber, and Ku-ring-gai Philharmonic, the Beecroft orchestras, and Melbourne String Ensemble. Minah has won numerous awards including “Most Promising Performer” in 4th Adam International Cello Competition, Australian Postgraduate Award, inaugural Janos Starker Scholarship, Dorothy Fraser Scholarship and Australian University of Women Federation Commemorative Fellowship. ﻿Minah is passionate about teaching cello.

Dr Jeanell Carrigan AM is presently an Associate Professor in Collaborative Piano at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, University of Sydney. She has performed as a soloist, chamber musician and accompanist in Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland and throughout Australia, and has recorded for the Bavarian Radio Corporation, the ABC and for regional stations in Australia on many occasions. She holds a Doctor of Creative Arts in the area of Australian post-1970 solo piano repertoire and in May, 2016 released her seventeenth solo compact disc of Australian piano music. She is passionate about promoting Australian Music particularly the piano music of Australian women composers. In a review of the CD A Little Variation, composer Houston Dunleavy said “This recording is one to add to the list of treasures of Australian music that seem to be growing by the year. Surely Jeanell Carrigan belongs in this category as well. Australian music has a great champion in Carrigan’s fine playing and scholarship. She deserves far wide recognition for the quality of her work.” (Music Trust 1/4/15)
