Description: This was written for a close family member that just passed. It is a departure from what I normally write, but it’s my feeling for them that made it possible. You must always act with your gut.

Its a beatiful song! 
Also im really sorry for your loss!

“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

X-Cats rule the world

La macchina dell’abbondanza ci ha dato povertà. La scienza ci ha trasformato in cinici, l’avidità ci ha resi duri e cattivi. Pensiamo troppo e sentiamo poco. Più che macchinari, ci serve umanità. Più che abilità, ci serve bontà e gentilezza. Senza queste qualità, la vita è violenza e tutto è perduto."
------------------------------------------
The machine of abundance has given us poverty. Science has turned us into cynics, greed has made us hard and evil. We think too much and feel little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than skill, we need goodness and kindness. Without these qualities, life is violence and all is lost."

Lyrics - Andrey Voznesensky
Music - Nadir Shamuhamedov
(When I sang it for the first time, I was 23 years old and madly in love...)

English Translation:

Play, grasshopper, play,
Oh, my acoustic grasshopper!
And in these delicious musics
Save all meadows of August...

Play the azure of forest
And  the organs of Lielupe pines,
Sing me a song about the happiness
Of an flighty woman,
Because she is all, I live by...

Play, green music fan!
Our romance is orchestrated with sadness...
Love is not a musical toy,
But it’s also scary to break it.

Play, grasshopper, play, don't stop,
After all, your life is even shorter,
Than the lives of other musicians,
Even though they are not eternal too...

Gone, But Not Forgotten

Small gentle movements can move mountains :-)

A slow piano piece with a cinematic touch, I hope you'll enjoy...

Gentle

Drawing heavily from the synthesizer-driven sounds of the 1980s and 1990s, my work crafts a compelling fusion of retro and modern electronic music. While predominantly instrumental, I do write traditional songs with lyrical content. My compositions intricately weave together various genres, resulting in a rich and evocative listening experience designed to resonate deeply with the audience. I'm an Independent Artist (FUK-IT Records 2024). I’m a Veteran musician, producer, and sound engineer of over 30 years experience. I try to have a little bit for everyone’s tastes.
