Pieces

Nocturne in C minor for Violin and Piano

March 28 is piano day. A brilliant holiday conjured by the incredible artist Nils Frahm, whom I've had the pleasure of seeing twice in concert.
This is my participation/observation of this wonderful instrument. I have always loved the sound of the piano. I have several tracks on my profile which utilize piano, but most have been in a calculated, slower, elegant manner.
For Piano Day I wanted to let loose my right hand and play with a little passion/indulgence in a more free flowing/ improvised manner. 
I wanted this track to be all about the piano, and my meager skills at playing and layering...
I hope some will find enjoyment :)

The Secret Lighthouse

Gjendines bådnlåt is a traditional lullaby which can be traced back to Kaia Gjendine Slålien (1870-1971), a milkmaid from the Jotunheimen area. Well known for her repertoire of songs, she met Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) on several occasions. Many of her ballads and lullabies formed the basis for his 1896 collection of “19 Norwegian Folk Songs – Op.66” which he arranged for the piano. Gjendines bådnlåt is the last piece in the collection. My version of the lullaby is mixing up various versions of the lullaby.

Lyrics:

Bånet legges i vuggen ned
stundom gråter, stundom ler (x2)
sove nå sove nå, I Jesu namn
Jesus bevare bånet (x2)

Min mor ho tok meg på sitt fang
dansa med meg fram og tilbake
Min mor ho tok meg på sitt fang
dansa med meg att och fram
Danse så med de små, danse så
så skal borna danse (x2)


Translation:
The child is placed in the crib
Sometimes crying, sometimes smiling
Sleep now, sleep now, in the name of Jesus
Jesus keep the child safe
 
My mother takes me in her arms
danced with me back and forth
Dance with the little ones, dance
So shall they dance

Dance Of Avoidance - by Stacy Fahrion

This is a piano solo piece inspired by situation of isolation due to coronavirus outbreak that is being taken globally. The melody of this piano song fluctuates between sweet and bitter, fear, calmness and uncertainty. It is tender but harmful at the same time.
