Dominic Maurice's latest piano EP "Piano Horizons" is a masterful journey through the depths of human emotion, captured with grace and subtlety across four evocative tracks. Each piece is a delicate exploration of beauty, tranquility, and reflection, creating an immersive experience for listeners.

From the opening notes, Maurice draws us into a space where time seems to slow down. The melodies are soft yet powerful, weaving between delicate arpeggios and moments of quiet intensity. The first track invites introspection, its gentle progression offering a sense of calm that gradually deepens, preparing the heart for the emotional voyage ahead.

As the EP unfolds, the second track introduces a bittersweet yearning, its flowing chords pulling at the heartstrings. It carries a certain vulnerability, a soft ache that reminds us of the complexity of emotions we often carry quietly within us. The tender harmonies evoke feelings of nostalgia, yet they are imbued with an unspoken hope, leaving the listener suspended in a beautiful, fleeting moment.

The third track brings a sense of lightness, its melodies dancing like sunlight through the trees. It is a refreshing breath of optimism, full of joy and quiet celebration. There is a lightness to the movement here, a gentle optimism that leaves a lingering warmth in its wake, evoking the sense of joy found in small, yet meaningful, moments.

In the final piece, Maurice brings everything full circle with a piece of serene, quiet resolution. The gentle, final notes feel like a peaceful surrender, as though finding solace in the quiet space left by the music. There is a profound sense of closure, a subtle peace that settles, leaving the listener with a full heart and a mind at ease.

This piano EP from Dominic Maurice is a beautiful reflection of the spectrum of emotions we experience. It captures both the gentle and the intense, the bittersweet and the uplifting, offering an intimate soundscape that speaks directly to the soul.

Ariane Rewound  evokes the idea of ​​revisiting one's past by drawing the thread of an emotion. Rather than leaving the labyrinth, this composition invites you to go back by pulling on the thread of your memories. First minimal, the very simple pattern develops passing from one hand to the other. Becoming more and more complex, the left Hand amplifies the emotions of the past.

The intensity of the dialogue between the two hands reaches its climax and thus releases the energy of past emotion. Then little by little we return to the increasingly refined pattern in order to find the calm and serenity of the present time.

Originally composed around 2004 for a small local theatre production. This piece tells the story of a young couple navigating the perils of World War II. While the theatre has since closed its door, I felt this piece deserved a new life. I hope you enjoy listening.

Caprice is a fantasy, original dance work for flute, oboe and string orchestra. 
I focused on keeping it a light, lyrical and whimsical dialogue for the flute and oboe and kept the strings as accompaniment with a few exceptions.

The Mystic Way – A Journey Through the Dao

This piano solo is inspired by the profound wisdom of Daoism, capturing the essence of the ineffable and eternal. Originally written with lyrics drawn from ancient philosophy, the melody now speaks through the purity of the piano, conveying the depth of the Dao without the need for words.

Like a coin with only one side, true understanding transcends definitions. The Dao cannot be spoken, nor can it be named—yet it flows through all things, giving rise to existence and shaping the universe. This piece invites the listener into a space of contemplation, where the seen and unseen intertwine, where mystery deepens with every note, and where the path to understanding lies beyond mere perception.

Let this music be your gateway to serenity, an echo of the eternal harmony that connects all things.

This set of SWWs was written in memory of a wonderful singer, teacher and friend, Diana Walkley. Here, significant reference is made to Elgar's Music Makers - a score of great insight, I now understand, into a lonely composer: a true 'dreamer of dreams'
