This music ws inspired by the Sounds In Motion 40th Anniversary Reunion on September 7, 2012 in Harlem, NYC. It was my privilege to participate in this unforgettable event. "Party of Five" is dedicated to the extended Sounds in Motion family, and of course it is meant to be dance music. It is scored for String Trio (Violin, Viola, Cello), Bass, and Drumset. This sound file was creeated with the Finale music notation program, using virtual instrument synthesis directly from the written score. Every sound and articulation is notated in the score, and there is no multi-tracking, overdubbing, or midi instrument input. So what you hear is what I wrote. Of course, I hope that hearing this sound file will help inspire a live performance. If you are interested in playing this music please contact me.

Party Of Five (remastered)

This is a solo piano work in progress written for my son Alex Ameen on his 24th birthday, June 20, 2012, rendered here via Finale 2012. The initial thematic material is a transformation of the "Happy Birthday" melody.  The title refers to the Hubble Deep Field images of the most distant galaxies, which remind us that the beginnings of time itself echo everywhere for this who listen.
