Fourth Passacaglia for String Orchestra

Produced for the wonderful https://citiesandmemory.com/ as part of their SOUNDS of Italy project. Original field recording by Giuseppe Calisti. I just turned it into the mess you are now hearing : ) Official arty blurb below

Leaving Sicily is a poetic remembrance, expressed through sound, of my travels across the Island in 2017. For me the Island was a constant  barrage of wonder; both beautiful and terrifying, welcoming and isolating, modern and ancient and familiar yet alien. The piece heavily manipulates samples from the field recording captured at The Falcone Borsellino Aiport to express some of the dichotomies above. Leaving Sicily finishes with the ‘raw’ sound of the crowd of the airport terminal representing the transition from my surreal and personal travel back into the world of normality - just another tourist in the crowd about to return to his normal life.

Lyrics:
Chorus
The joint it ain’t the joint—-until I smoke it in
And The club it ain’t the joint ——until I roll on in
Now you know it ain’t the joint ——until I smoke it in—-
until I smoke it in—-until I smoke it in

Verse1
The club it ain’t the joint until I roll on in
and she looks at me ——-like where the hell you been 
But I run a tight game—-smiling at her friend 
you take your time ——when you’re ready baby——-roll on in 
Cause she ain’t got no papers —— ain’t got no ring
So if I don’t come around, we’ll it ain’t a thing
For one—-I don’t keep score ——I just roll with it 
If it feels good, I explore —-yeah ——that’s —real-slick 
party here or next door —decisions made real quick 
and I don’t need no dance floor ———-or a sidekick
getting down real hardcore —and——the swagger’s sick 
that’s just—- what I’m built for ——so just— take your pick
keep you  body moving worldwide, don’t sweat it 
and the count is like a landslide —-yo—-I don’t slip 
inside or outside——If it ——rains——just—-let it 
It’s a journey ——not just a ride —and—I’m glad -we met
and the flow ——is like high tide ———-remix an edit

Chorus

Verse2
holding down my block——city —state ——and nation 
leveled up like a worldwide radio station 
Just keep in mind —-this is Just —-how I roll 
give it all ——to the music——body—heart—-and soul
Put my cards on the table and I’ll never fold 
cause I’m holding all the aces —-and I’m in control 
follow now let’s go deeper down this rabbit hole 
Dan put the track together ——and ——it’s winter cold
Now—-I’m dropping these —bars ——-like I’m on parole 
make it rain ——shake that booty —-round the metal pole 
Twerk it—-Twerk it ——ass Poppin    ——It’s on cruise control 
Throw it up ——switch it back ——like a centerfold 
Now-I’m going for a touchdown——like the Super Bowl
come on —-go again —-tell a friend —let me in 
dropping cheddar on the floor—- make it rain again
shake that ass a little more ——-back it up and bend 
over like you did before ————cause ——I’m—off the chain

Verse1

THE LIGHT

Musique : Alain Illos

C’est vrai, tu es venu
Un soir de décembre
C’est vrai, tu étais nu
Dans la lueur d'ambre

Le vent vif, emportait
Grains d'opalescence
Petits flocons de lait 
Cadeaux de naissance

C’est vrai, oiseau de nuit
Aux prunelles sombres
C’est vrai, ta peur tes cris
Dans la pénombre

Ont fait trembler les anges 
Sur les verts sapins 
Réveillé la mésange 
Au cœur du fusain


Au temps de Noël, si petit
Dans notre peau à peau blotti
Une fusion vers l’infini
Nous a réunis,  Nous a réunis 

C'était  Noël, et  si petit
Dans notre peau à peau blotti
Une valse d’atomes, une chimie
Nous a réunis, …   nous a réunis

C’est vrai, la neige fondue
A l'aube en janvier 
C’est vrai, la sirène crue
Nous a séparé

Et a fait tomber les anges 
Des cimes des sapins
S’envoler la mésange 
Qui mangeait son pain

Mais qu'import' mon  petit
Dans notre peau à peau blotti
Une fusion vers l’infini
Nous avait unis, 
C’est vrai nous avait unis

Au temps de Noël, si petit
Dans notre peau à peau blotti
Une valse d’atomes une chimie
Nous avait unis, nous avait uni

En Décembre    Teel / Illos

Hello friends! I have been busy with my other musical projects for a while now, but finally was able to finish the first part of The Fall suite that I've been working with for quite some time.

Thanks for visiting. 
What's new:  Work on my violin sonata is proceeding well.  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.
