An arrangement (NOT a 'reimagining') of the well-known song from Donegal known as 'She Moved through the Fair', written for the Irish pianist, Fiachra Garvey.

A Song from Donegal

I am a scientist who started composing music as a hobby in 2013. I have not studied composition and do not approach it analytically, only intuitively. I took piano lessons in my childhood and teens, but spent most of my adult life without playing piano until 2013. So far I have composed mostly for piano, in a polyphonic style that borrows from the Baroque as well as the Romantic spirit. I describe my style as "Baroquemantic". 

Most of my piano pieces are easy to play.  Some are very easy to play.  

All of my pieces rely on 2 or more concurrent melodies (counterpoint).

Or, as a Portuguese guy named "Carlos Miguel" wrote on YouTube:
"...a boa música é como as boas palavras, depende de quem as diz e de quem as ouve...podem não vir a ser nada e podem ser tudo...ou ambas as situações em simultâneo...genial também é quem ouve...pelo seu modo de ouvir... e não só quem  compõe...pelo seu modo de compor...Carlos Miguel"

If anyone wants to try performing any of this stuff on real instruments please send a message and I can provide scores. Not sure how playable some of it is for human musicians though.

In my early years I took piano lessons, regretfully I stopped them in my teens. I've always had a piano in the house and over the years have composed a number of songs (without words). What’s important to me is the melodic nature of the pieces and I wanted to share them with others. The origins of the music are probably influenced by my early classical lessons, Chopin and Schubert to name a couple. I love Liszt’s Hungarian and Rachmaninoff’s Russian styles but sadly my technical ability hampers the inclusion of their techniques.
Today’s home recording software allows many opportunities to develop compositions using other instruments to compliment the piano however, using the software has been a challenge, trying to get the “right” sound for the piano has been the most difficult part of the process. I’m slowly learning and will probably remix some of my current tracks as my experience grows.
Once I have recorded my heritage pieces, I plan to write a new selection of music predominantly piano but also experimenting with more or different instruments, watch this space!
Thank you for listening and commenting on my compositions and for the reposts, please don’t hesitate to offer constructive criticism, it could speed up the learning process.
Best Wishes,

Composer since 2008, I used to write music in about a hundred projects so far, classically trained professional musician, composition is for me a great source of joy, it is fascinating to be included in projects which require a beautiful collective energy, I hope that my music deposited here will allow me to share with you the enthusiasm that I put in creating them.
Komponist seit 2008, ich habe bisher in etwa hundert Projekten Musik geschrieben, klassisch ausgebildeter Berufsmusiker, Komposition ist für mich eine große Quelle der Freude, es ist faszinierend, in Projekte einbezogen zu werden, die eine schöne kollektive Energie erfordern, das hoffe ich meine hier hinterlegte Musik wird es mir ermöglichen, mit Ihnen die Begeisterung zu teilen, die ich in ihre Erstellung gesteckt habe.
