It was seemingly a late Autumn season this year and the leaves held on to their branches a little longer than average this turn of the wheel. I watched as the final remaining members of the deciduous resistance proudly held their ground and clung to their branches, while the wind tried to seduce them to give up their futile attempt at immortality and surrender to the inevitable.  In bold defiance they refused and proudly flew their colorful flags of deep crimson, rust orange, and a shade of yellow so ineffably deep it does not even bare a name. They danced gallantly and gracefully with the wind as they moved in asymmetrical rhythms and flowing tempos - the mathematics of which seemingly beyond human intelligence, boarding on the divine. The eb and flow of the motion together with the beams of sunlight that would burst through the branches and cast a glimmering shimmer onto everything was truly an epically cinematic sight to behold! If I were a cinematographer this is what I would film.  As I am only a composer, I did the best I could with the tools available to my disposal...  I hope you may enjoy it...

"Autumn Rains" is the second installment in a trio of neoclassical solo piano albums composed, performed, and produced by Andrew Souter. These projects have been two decades in the making and represent a return to traditional music composition, engaging song-writing, and the pure passion of emotional story-telling. This trio represents Andrew's most personal and intimate music. It is quite literally a love project. We hope it may help you on your journey, as it has us...

"Autumn Rains" is music inspired by the spirit of Agape. It is an album dedicated to the concept of spiritual love and universal compassion clothed in the metaphor of transcendental natural beauty. It is an album that simultaneously expresses deep love for both the creator as well as the creation. It is said God gave us music so that we could pray without words. It could be added that nature was provided as an example of exactly how to do this effectively. In this spirit, Autumn Rains is a prayer of gratitude for the opportunity to learn from the natural beauty of this world, and an expression of a sense of respect for the inescapable universal equality that nature imposes. It humbly attempts to capture deep feelings of awe, granduer, idealism, and a belief in the innate goodness of the world even when we all face exceptionally hard lessons.

Journeys

A full-length orchestral narrative told in twenty movements, blending the architecture of early counterpoint with the tension of a crime drama. Each track unfolds like a chapter in a case file: solemn organ and strings open the investigation, harpsichord patterns tick like forensic clocks, and solo lines for cello, violin, oboe, and continuo sketch the emotional terrain of detectives, witnesses, suspects, and shifting clues.

The middle movements tighten into layered fugues, sharp dances, and atmospheric recitatives as evidence accumulates and motives collide. Elegant misdirections, analytical motifs, and shadowed harmonies push the story deeper into confrontation and revelation.

The final stretch builds toward judgment: a rising passacaglia, triumphant brass, and a canon of interlocking voices. The closing fugue gathers every motif in the album, weaving them into a towering resolution where each theme finds its place in the larger design. A full dramatic arc captured entirely through acoustic instruments, structural clarity, and noir-infused gravitas.

Chase Fugato

Caedis Suite II - Minutum Solis

Concerto Grosso No. 1, for violin, harp, harpsichord, and string orchestra - IV. Vivace

An emotional music piece by Melodrama – sad cello melody that will make you feel nostalgic and happy at the same time, will touch your heart and something deep inside you.
It's great for emotional love stories, romantic videos, independent films, music videos with beautiful landscapes, and hopeful cinematic video projects!
