Timelines

In 410 A.C. Romans left the rule of Britain. The date and the reasons are still and always a matter of debate among historians; however, in 2010, when it may have been 1600 years since that event and to commemorate it, 500 lighthouses were lit along the route of Hadrian's Wall, from east to west (cover image).
The first draft of the track is not recent (I didn't like it so much) and can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/departure-from-britannia. I recovered audio material that I had discarded at the time (recording quality not optimal) and added some stuff.
Vocals by Ginevra Ansani and Arthouse Acoustic (samples). Flute by Trey Eley (Soul Surplus samples).

Departure from Britannia (final version) *

Galaxy

The title is just a line in the play of "The Hotel in Amsterdam" (John Osborne, 1968).

Here's one last draft: I've temporarily finished working on this damn track, but I've posted it and then deleted it many times since the beginning of 2024.

Never believe in mirrors and newspapers

The first great poet I really knew was my maternal grandfather.  While his passion was caring for his congregation as a minister, poetry was his greatest gift.  His poems were beautifully written, moving and spilled straight out of his heart to be shared with others.

One of my most treasured possessions is a small book of poetry with just a fraction of his work.  In that book, there are poems written for friends going through dark times after the loss of a child, joyous verses written for his 50th wedding anniversary, and works revealing how much he was moved by daily life and his extensive travel to places near and far.

This composition is written not only for my grandfather, but for poets past and present, who share their hearts with us all.

The Poet

Night Dreamer

In collaboration with Francess Harris. She played the piano composition and I did the composition of the orchestral arrangement. Thank you for listening and enjoy. Any comment is appreciated always.

At Midnight (feat. Fr. Harris)

Near Midnight

تيتو 4 - هشام نزية

I love writing original music. I can't always predict how a song will turn out but I write what I hear and simply hope it pleases ears.

Near Midnight
