I dedicate this piece "My Love For you Will Never Die" to my parents Gerald O and MaryAnne Peters, my parents:) They loved each other with such intensity and passion till the time my dad had to say "Good Journey" when she passed away. This will become a song so its listed in Pop. I know how much my dad loved my mom as she loved him back. She told me my dad was "Shot out of a cannon" just like her dad:) 
  This picture is from bout 1959 in Manassas, Virginia. It was Halloween:)

"Defiance"  is a piece dedicated to the defiance of the Ukrainian People against the threat of Russian invasion.  I have been to the Ukraine five times and I know first hand how badly the Ukrainian people want freedom and democracy. Anyone who has seen the tears in the eyes of people there when their national anthem is played, knows how passionate they are about freedom.
   The image you see represents the threat that may mean real war and a Russian takeover.
 This piece is Number 11 in the "a piece a day" personal composition challenge for Wednesday 2/23/22

Defiance - Number 11

This is my 28th piece in my "One A Day" composition challenge:) I'm a bit behind because some pieces take longer than expected and I will not release anything but the highest quality so even though I am releasing a lot of new pieces, they must be great pieces that meant my personal high standard. If that means I get behind in order to fine tune some pieces then so be it:)

The King Requests - Number 28

Calm Power - Number 82 - Piano Only

This is the piano only, transcribed version of "Silver and Satin" It took 2 days to get the bass line transcribed then the melody. I loaded the Wav file into my Protools software. Then I figured out the pitches one at a time whew!. I then work the bass line onto manuscript paper. Then I put the melody above the two piano staffs. This was very labor intensive but you just do it step by step:) I have 3 other piano pieces that need to be transcribed. The days of tape recording are over thank goodness but I need to make pieces that are "digitally quiet" unlike old tape pieces that have tape hiss.
   The new transcribed orchestral version is next and its gorgeous:)
