14:45 et seq is simply magnificent. There is no other way of describing such a miraculous ending.

This intro is birthing a magnificent pull of attention, Rob!  I'm so glad you stopped by to let me know of this new Masterpiece!  ...

You are a supreme expert at taking the keys & cultivating a catalyst for intense captivation that is inescapable-- I just love you for the workout you give my mind!  The world comes to a halt in my house when you perform! My Gershwin, this is tearing me up inside...I'm begging for resolve!  I'm totally overcome with suspense!  Fleek & Fantastic!   🎥🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼📺😮😱 ...HELP...The culprit behind this directive needs to be detained!  Criminal drama soundtracks have met their match!  I held my breath a lot--That's how involved you get me!!! My abs are tightening.... Rob! OMG!  AMAZING>>

That violin is thoroughly feeling the heat! You composed this with utmost fervor for making someone pant for their very life!  You WIN, ROB! ;) 😍🖤🤍🖤🤍♾🎯

Poème de Mélanie Waldor (1796-1871).

Dors à mes pieds !... Rêve d'amour
Mon souffle, comme une caresse,
Glissera sur le pur contour
De ce beau front qu'avec paresse
Tu reposes sur mes genoux.
Dors à mes pieds, tout fait silence,
Hors la branche qui se balance,
Souple et frêle, au-dessus de nous ;
Dors à mes pieds, tout fait silence.

Sous mes baisers clos tes yeux noirs,
Tes yeux où brillent tant de flammes,
Qu'on les croirait les deux miroirs
Où se reflètent nos deux âmes.
Dors à mes pieds !... Rêve d'amour ;
Je suis jalouse de tes rêves,
Comme du temps que tu m'enlèves
Avec le monde chaque jour...
Je suis jalouse de tes rêves !...

Le soleil glisse à l'horizon.
Pas un souffle, pas un nuage...
Un rayon d'or, sur le gazon,
Reste comme un heureux présage !
Nos riches tapis ne sont pas
Aussi doux que ce lit de mousse
Où, folâtre, ta main repousse
Le brin d'herbe effleurant mon bras.
Dors sur l'herbe, les fleurs, la mousse...

Dors à mes pieds !... Rêve d'amour :
Mon souffle, comme une caresse,
Glissera sur le pur contour
De ce beau front qu'avec paresse
Tu reposes sur mes genoux.
Dors à mes pieds, tout fait silence,
Hors la branche qui se balance,
Souple et frêle, au-dessus de nous ;
Dors à mes pieds, tout fait silence.

Dors à mes pieds !

TIMOTHY LEARY  LONG TIME
YOU AND I NO SEE
FROM THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN
SHINE ON CRAZY STRAWBERRY
BLURRY IS THE OPEN SEA
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND YOU WILL SEE

EMOTION IN MOTION
THAT’S THE WAY TO FUNCTION
COOLNESS IN A POTION
SPIRITUAL ACTION
TUNE IN TURN ON DROP OUT

TIMOTHY DEARIE OH BABY
IT IS CLEAR TO SEE
FROM THE INSIDE LOOKING OUT
A HORSEMAN WITH NO HORSE
A HORSE WITH NO NAME
LEARN TO BE AND NOT TO BE

EMOTION IN MOTION
CAN YOU FEEL THE SUCCION
CHOCOLATE EXPLOSION
MARTIAN REVELATION
TUNE ON TURN OUT DROP IN

TIMOTHY LEARY (Lyrics + notes)

Happy Halloween.... the song is actually a tribute to Ian Hunter and Mott the Hoople ..one of the best bands of the 70s....Ian is still rocking into his mid 80s..so I am the one with the rigor mortis clearly..go Ian go...
sound clips from 1931 Frankenstein movie
There are at least 8 Mott the Hoople Song titles in the lyrics


Rock N Roll Rigor Mortis

Roll Away The Stone                                        
God is calling, he's on the phone
He's got a glambam plan, one last stand        
Before they take you home                               

Spotlight shines in your face
You better put on a pair of Ian Hunter shades
I Wish I Was Your Mother, wish I was your father
Never could put you in your place

Hey, old man
What don't you understand?
Know your rights
Plead that Habeas Corpus
Hey, old man 
The music makes demands
Shake off your rock n roll rigor mortis

Move your hips to the beat
Take a deep breath, unstick yourself from that seat
Shine a light through your pupil, of pure Mott the Hoople
To energise those ancient feet

Time to rise again
Like Lazarus, a comeback, this ain’t the end
You're one wild stiff, rockin all my riffs
Be careful how your body bends 

Hey old man
What don't you understand?
Know your rights
Plead that Habeas Corpus
Hey old man 
The music makes demands
Shake off your rock n roll rigor mortis

All The Way From Memphis               
The Golden Age Of Rock N Roll    
Elvis and the Whizz Kids                 
Ain’t no peace in the valley for the last patrol 

Drivin’ Sister, Jerkin’ Crocus
Help me When My Mind Is Gone
Do the shimmy shake, bring it into focus
Sing it loud this victory song

Chorus

It's alive!!! It's alive!!! It's alive!!!

Thanks for visiting. 
What's new:  I have completed my violin sonata. It is posted first in line to your left.  My new symphony, "Symphony for Chamber Orchestra," is posted and waiting for you.  rjb

Scores and parts for many of my works are available from my publisher Creative Spirit Music Publications. Go to  https://www.creativespiritonline.com and select "Robert John Brooks." There, you can also follow the score while listening to a recording.

My music is fully notated and is intended for live performance by live musicians.

After completing my doctorate in composition in 1979 from UNT, I took 30 years off from composing to join the computer software revolution as a software engineer.  In 2010 I began composing again and have not stopped. So, I find myself beginning (restarting?) a composition career rather late in life...but that's OK.  Most of the works posted here were written since 2010. 

Thanks for visiting.
