Imagine you are up in a hot air balloon, gliding over the wonders of the world... euphoria and wonder!

Wonder Land
Upward I sail, with a jittery heart
Could this really be real? I thought
The wind hums a welcoming song
I tremble as a swirling gust comes along

I drift calmly in a whispered tone
Legato chords of echoes abound
Hot air rises, as the flames lift me high 
A crescendo builds and bursts in the sky!

Below, a world—of nature’s perfection
Peaks and valleys in every direction
Ancient ruins embellish the land,
Of stories of Kings written in sand

The wonders of the world, 
A masterpiece so grand. 
A symphony created by humanity's hand
And here I am! A witness to its glory!
In a magical balloon
I dreamt this story.

Wonder Land

A lovely and joyful piano composition in the classical style. I posted this song in haste and realized I didn't finish my edits.  Sometimes I have to just let it go... and go on to the next thing!

Allegro for Piano

IMAGES is a numbered series of original piano pieces inspired by the music impressionists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries... Ravel, Debussy and Faure.  I love the impressionist painters.  As a composer, I hear colors, the painter sees.  And, I hear movement, shape and expression with sounds of melody, rhythm and emotion.

I hope you enjoy this collection.  I would love your thoughts about how the music makes you feel, the story you imagine and the images you see when you listen.  :)

A short piano composition, as it is, with minor edits.  The kind of work, I wish I could produce each day.  I hope you enjoy it!

Impromptu

My new song, Give Me Your Tired was inspired by the poem by EE Cummings,  and the stress and toil of getting through each day in a world with so much instability and sadness.We are all tired...I'm tired, but EE Cummings shows us another way through hope, love, imagination, relationships. and seeing the beauty around us. 

You are tired, (I think)
Of the always puzzle of living and doing;
And so am I.

Come with me, then,
And we’ll leave it far and far away —
(Only you and I, understand!)

You have played,
(I think)
And broke the toys you were fondest of,
And are a little tired now;
Tired of things that break, and —
Just tired.
So am I.

But I come with a dream in my eyes tonight,
And knock with a rose at the hopeless gate of your heart —
Open to me!
For I will show you the places Nobody knows,
And, if you like,
The perfect places of Sleep.

Ah, come with me!
I’ll blow you that wonderful bubble, the moon,
That floats forever and a day;
I’ll sing you the jacinth song
Of the probable stars;
I will attempt the unstartled steppes of dream,
Until I find the Only Flower,
Which shall keep (I think) your little heart
While the moon comes out of the sea.

A lovely and uplifting short piece perfect as a prelude to a special tribute or solemn event.  Contact me for string score.

Prelude for Strings

I wrote the piano part first as a piano solo.  I added the flute part to bring out another melodic line against the piano part. I was inspired by the words, show me, help me, teach me and the ways we experience and find meaning through life.

Show Me
Poem by Jennifer L. Jones

Show me how the beauty of each day sings 
through the window, and how the world 
awakes in quiet kindness,
lifting its face to meet the light.

Teach me how love is laced in
Fingertips that tie shoelaces,
brush away tired tears,
and hold without hesitation.

Show me the rhythm of patience—
how it flows in the breath of listening,
and the lull between words, 
louder than sound ever could.

Help me find the meaning in small things:
the untied ribbons of childhood laughter,
the sacred space between holding on,
and letting go.

Show me the way you offer without asking,
how your heart is a lantern in my night,
how love is the echo of footsteps
that never walk away.

Show Me

Welcome friends and to my profile! I hope to celebrate 300 original tracks on Soundcloud this year!  Thank you for listening and helping me in my musical journey. It has been a difficult year for me personally. Yet, musically, I believe I am writing some of my best music.  I am infinitely inspired and humbled by the extraordinary creativity I hear from your music each day and the wonderful friends I have encountered from every part of the world! THANK YOU! I am so very grateful for your support and the gift of music in my life!
 
What Inspires Me...I am inspired each day to compose music that touches and connects the listener in meaningful ways that are personal to their own experiences and feelings.  I believe what the world needs is more songs about love for all living things and the earthly treasures around us. The power of love is magical, mysterious, and miraculous!  And, it is essential to our survival like water and the air we breathe.  I believe that through the universal language of music, love can heal, bring joy, and create an invisible chain that pulls all of us together, not apart.  

A Little About Me...I started composing in 2016  after not touching the piano for many years. A career, raising a family and just every day life got in the way of making music. After retiring as a music teacher in the public schools, I started dreaming of playing the piano again and my years of classical training slowly came back to me. I love every genre of music, and the talent and creativity on SoundCloud has inspired me at every level!

For those of you who follow me on Soundcloud, I have been experimenting with adding tracks to my piano compositions.  I create and record everything myself using a Yamaha 660DGX, including the instrumental tracks built into the keyboard. Then, I edit on my laptop using Sony Sound Forge Music Pro.  It's a simple set up, and I have lots to learn.  I am not afraid of receiving feedback if you have any to give.  Sometimes, it's the most simple thing I may be doing wrong that changes everything!

If you have time, check out my first music book called Music Dreams: Six Original Pieces for Solo Piano through Barnes & Noble.  I welcome your feedback.  Here is a link in case you are interested. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/music-dreams-jennifer-l-jones/1143986955?ean=9798891455641
