“Second Passacaglia for String Orchestra” was completed in July, 2022 in Fairview, TX. 

From the composer's publisher Creative Spirit OnLine: "Brooks’s Second Passacaglia unfolds broodingly over a 17-bar, slowly moving bass line in cellos and basses, while the variations above increase in movement and intensity until finally arriving at a subdued and haunting final cadence."

The work is in one movement. Performance time is about 10 minutes. 
Printed and electronic scores and parts are available from www.CreativeSpiritOnline.com
A virtual recording of this work is posted on www.soundcloud.com/robert-john-brooks.

Performance notes:
•	Tempo, expression, and dynamic markings should be strictly observed.
•	There is no key signature. Accidentals apply to the end of the measure or to the note or notes tied over the measure, and only to notes of the same pitch class, in the same octave.
•	Hairpin pairs (e.g.: mp <>, mf ><) indicate a temporary volume change of one dynamic level.
•	Passages marked  fff  or ppp  indicate playing as loudly and as quietly as possible, respectively.
•	Double-bass “C-extension” is required.

Second Passacaglia for String Orchestra

I've had a passion for music since I was a child, but I wasn't really trained, so I chose a different career path. Nevertheless, at some point I decided to take the ongoing creative pressure within me seriously, even if I can't deliver a professional performance.
Maybe one or two songs will resonate or encourage you to express yourself musically.

Seit Kindheit habe ich eine Leidenschaft für die Musik, aber nicht so richtig ausgebildet, deshalb auch beruflich anderen Weg gewählt. Dennoch habe ich mich irgendwann entschieden,  den anhaltenden kreativen Druck in mir ernst zu  nehmen, auch wenn ich keine professionelle Performance liefern kann. 
Vielleicht stößt der eine oder andere Song ja auf Resonanz oder regt an, sich einmal selbst musikalisch mitzuteilen.

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.

There is a great community here. I really enjoy listening to your music. I'm also happy when someone listens to mine :)

Francesco Adornetto is a neoclassical and ambient pianist and composer who believes music is a form of breath.
His pieces unfold slowly, like a mindful exhale — offering space, silence, and a sense of emotional truth.

🧘‍♂️ Deeply inspired by yoga, inner stillness, and the quiet power of presence,
his music invites you to pause, soften, and reconnect with the moment.

Blending calm piano, neoclassical minimalism, and ambient textures with occasional ethereal vocals, Francesco Adornetto creates soundscapes for yoga, meditation, slow mornings, study, and reflection.
His sound resonates with fans of Ólafur Arnalds, Ludovico Einaudi Yann Tiersen, Max Richter, and Joep Beving and more...

Since beginning his neoclassical journey in 2024, his work has gained recognition for emotional depth, introspective tone, and a delicate yet expressive language.
He has collaborated with Jessica Bains Brown, Francess Harris, Alessandra Celletti, Mauricio De Los Santos, Araceli Parra, Roberto Guerra, Dawn Walters, and others.

Francesco composes with a handcrafted approach, guided by touch, attentive listening, and the inspiration of the moment — creating music not as a product, but as a deeply human act.

Hello my dear friends. I seek and love music that gives me goosebumps.  I 'm looking for it through experiments with rhythms, sounds and harmony.  So far I haven't succeeded yet.  Music is my life. I’m Fred, 70 years, born in Diest, Belgium on August 8, 1954.  I am grateful for all the given likes and comments, for all the listeners and followers here on SC or on all the other streaming services where my music is publiced. I’m also grateful to all these artists and musicians who put their beautiful music on SC.  Thanks everyone.  Keep it healthy.  Take care of each other and sow peace!

From Wikipedia: In Greek mythology, a satyr, sater (UK /ˈsætə/, US /ˈseɪtər/;[1] Greek: σάτυρος satyros,[2] pronounced [sátyros]) is one of a troop of ithyphallic male companions of Dionysus with goat-like features and often permanent erection.[3] Early artistic representations sometimes include horse-like legs, but in 6th-century BC black-figure pottery human legs are the most common.[4] In Roman Mythology there is a concept similar to satyrs, with goat-like features: the faun, being half-man, half-goat, who roamed the woods and mountains.[5] In myths they are often associated with pipe-playing. Greek-speaking Romans often used the Greek term saturos when referring to the Latin faunus, and eventually syncretized the two. (The female "Satyresses" were a later invention of poets.)
