The sigh spilled involuntarily. I want to be able to compose beautiful melody like this too.

did so many collaborations with great musicians and friends, but there is one left. He is a great pianist and surely has a great future ! ... We made friends thru SC a while ago and helped each other here and there, so I will dedicate my next piece to him. We never met (this may come one fine day) but our music is like an invisible band between us !

The Piano Cloud presented a challenge to use other members piano pieces uploaded to "The Bouquet of Flowers" challenge. This piece uses 2 tracks. The first is from Milana Tchebotaryov-Zilnik & the second is from Ed Haydon. Both of these tunes were so beautiful in their own right, but I put them together, added some orchestration & hope you enjoy it!

Take comfort in the small things. Be humbled by their persistence. Be inspired by their courage. Give thanks for the opportunity to learn from their example.

"Autumn Rains" is the second installment in a trio of neoclassical solo piano albums composed, performed, and produced by Andrew Souter. These projects have been two decades in the making and represent a return to traditional music composition, engaging song-writing, and the pure passion of emotional story-telling. This trio represents Andrew's most personal and intimate music. It is quite literally a love project. We hope it may help you on your journey, as it has us...

"Autumn Rains" is music inspired by the spirit of Agape. It is an album dedicated to the concept of spiritual love and universal compassion clothed in the metaphor of transcendental natural beauty. It is an album that simultaneously expresses deep love for both the creator as well as the creation. It is said God gave us music so that we could pray without words. It could be added that nature was provided as an example of exactly how to do this effectively. In this spirit, Autumn Rains is a prayer of gratitude for the opportunity to learn from the natural beauty of this world, and an expression of a sense of respect for the inescapable universal equality that nature imposes. It humbly attempts to capture deep feelings of awe, granduer, idealism, and a belief in the innate goodness of the world even when we all face exceptionally hard lessons.

I hope you like this piece. :)

Timeless (acoustic piano version)

A track for my grandmother Martha who would have celebrated her 98th birthday today on the 19th of March. 
She loved the spring poem "Er ist's" from the german poet Eduard Möricke.  Every year in spring time she  recited it over hundred of times for us when the sky was blue and the warm sun was shining...I can hear her in my head right now and this is a wonderful memory I tried to catch with my piano...

Frühling lässt sein blaues Band
Wieder flattern durch die Lüfte;
Süße, wohlbekannte Düfte
Streifen ahnungsvoll das Land.
Veilchen träumen schon,
Wollen balde kommen.
—Horch, von fern ein leiser Harfenton!
Frühling, ja du bist's!
Dich habe ich vernommen!

Here is an English translation of the poem:

Spring lets his blue ribbons
flutter through the air again.
Sweet familiar scents
drift over the countryside,
full of promise;

violets are already dreaming
of their time time to come.
Listen; the soft sound of a distant harp!
It must be you, Spring;
it is you I have heard.

 
I miss you,  my dear "Ömchen" <3

Purple Rhapsody is instrumental music - 'emotions without words' is the tagline and that's what it's about.

There isn't any one constant that defines the style of a piece of Purple Rhapsody music. Many genres are represented... from powerful electronic to simple emotive piano with many styles in-between.

With experience in scoring films and commissions I'm happy for you to get in touch if you have a need for original instrumental music for your film project, advert, or any commission. I'll be more than happy to discuss what we can do together.
