Cantina Band - Star Wars

This is Karganoff's response to Tchaikovky's March of the Wooden Soldiers in the Children's album, op. 39 No. 5 and of the same piece in the Nutcracker's Suite. Tchaikovsky was a great idol for Karganoff.

Génari - Karganoff - March Of The Leaden Soldiers - Non Troppo Presto - A-major - Op. 20 - No. 1

This is the final piece of the revised cycle. It has many rubati and tempo changes (all with metronome marks) and some Jazz influence, to teach the student a more improvised and free style of interpretation.

Boys, now they're soldiers, marching with their guns
And soon, we' ll hear mothers, weeping for their sons.
LORD I beseech thee
Please wrap your arms around the world
And let there be Peace On Earth for Christmas.
Teach us forgiveness
Where there is hatred, bless with love
This is my prayer ....
War has been raging, throughout history
Oh LORD, we need saving, from this insanity
So, I beseech thee
Please wrap your arms around the world
And let there be Peace On Earth for Christmas.
Teach us forgiveness
Where there is hatred, bless with love
This is my prayer .... for Christmas
Nations will throw their swords down
They won't be needed any more
In a world without the curse of war.
People will work together
United, for the common good
Saving lives, instead of shedding blood
LORD I beseech thee
Please wrap your arms around the world
This is my prayer ....
Peace On Earth for Christmas
Everywhere.

PEACE ON EARTH FOR CHRISTMAS (MY PRAYER)

'Peace On Earth For Christmas' (My Prayer)

Carrie and I wrote this song years ago. When she died I just felt I had to record it. This is only a demo unmixed, we only had a few hours to record it. But the lyrics she wrote with me I think are marvelous. Carrie and I used to stay up til dawn chatting and pontificating about life. They were my best moments. Anyway... we wrote a song about staying up too late and hearing the birds sing. Willow Smith is a prodigal angel and was generous enough to lend her golden voice to this little tune.

Bird Song

Love comes on cat's feet
It circles the corners
It sits by the window and whispers...
'Mine! Your mine! all mine!'

My arm fell asleep
And dreamt it was your arm
Hush lest we break the spell, oh well, oh well..

It's all so wrong
To greet the dawn
The birds sing that awful song saying 
'You don't belong here!'

This is a reinterpretation of a wonderful soundtrack found in the 1981 television series "Brideshead Revisited" based on the novel of the same name by Evelyn Waugh.  The magnificent soundtrack for the series was composed by the late Geoffrey Burgon.

Brideshead Revisited: A Re-interpretation

Embers

This composition was inspired by a reading of the poem, "The Swan" by Mary Oliver.

The Swan

Did you too see it, drifting, all night, on the black river?
Did you see it in the morning, rising into the silvery air -
An armful of white blossoms,
A perfect commotion of silk and linen as it leaned
into the bondage of its wings; a snowbank, a bank of lilies,
Biting the air with its black beak?
Did you hear it, fluting and whistling
A shrill dark music - like the rain pelting the trees - like a waterfall
Knifing down the black ledges?
And did you see it, finally, just under the clouds -
A white cross Streaming across the sky, its feet
Like black leaves, its wings Like the stretching light of the river?
And did you feel it, in your heart, how it pertained to everything?
And have you too finally figured out what beauty is for?
And have you changed your life?

So Says the Swan

Old mono recording! This is a piano solo version of the famous Star Trek Theme song. Composed by Alexander Courage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Courage) probably first for piano solo and later for orchestra arrangement as heard on the TV series. Piano version is in C-major "Bright Galactic Beguine". I play the original piano score and added the introduction (with the common fanfare) and a short coda, both arranged by myself relating to the orchestra score of the song as heard in the TV series (Star Trek Original series, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_The_Original_Series)

Here's my latest overdubbing homage to John Williams and my love of his music. I revisited my original arrangement that I did years ago and added some "Glenn Dodson" touches...ie: a lot more high notes...Really gave the alto a workout on this one...not to mention my chops...
