Quatuor à cordes No.1 - II. Allegro

Don't you understand? Sure the Red Power Ranger was killed by that giant dino-mech but they forgot to kill that which can never be killed. Where one fights for hope, where one fights for justice, and the down trodden the red power ranger is there. And he is truly here today as we begin our super smash tournament. Might these sour cream and onion lays fuel our righteous indignation. Amen.

chord progression from Autumn Leaves

you can't kill the red power ranger

FIRST GNOSSIENNE (Sped Up)

In a half cut stupor, where reality blurred with holiday spirit I looked over at the Christmas presents and noticed my Pashley Princess looking back at me in her badly wrapped state!  She seemed to wink at me, as though acknowledging the delight bursting in my chest. Never before had I felt so overwhelnmed by such a generous gift.  

Each turn of the wheels felt like playing a cherished melody, punctuated by the sweet laughter of friends gliding beside me.  The simple joy of freewheeling down hills with the refreshing wind in my hair and time to think, reset and be myself. 

Today, as I look back on those swirling memories, I realise my Pashley is more than just a means of transport; she is a vessel of emotions, holding the essence of youthful exuberance and the wisdom of bittersweet moments.  She holds the heartbeats of my past—riding not only through streets but weaving through the intricate strands of joy and sorrow that make this love story more vibrant.

A Chequered Past

If Not For The Light is the latest classical masterpiece by the renowned composer Jeremias Jeremias Langsämmer. This evocative work is divided into three distinct movements—Dusk, Night, and Dawn—each capturing the essence of its respective time of day through a rich tapestry of sound and emotion.

Dusk
The opening movement, Dusk, sets the stage with a somber and reflective tone. As the day begins to wane, a mournful cello takes the lead, its deep, resonant notes echoing the gradual slowing of time. The reflective piano intersperses with delicate strings, creating an atmosphere of contemplation and melancholy. The French horn then gently enters, signaling the approach of night and adding a touch of warmth and solemnity to the piece. This movement beautifully encapsulates the transition from the bustling activity of the day to the quiet, introspective hours of the evening.

Night
The second movement, Night, delves into the mysterious and dream-like qualities of the nocturnal hours. It begins with a plucked cello, its steady rhythm marking the passage of time in the dark. As the movement progresses, distant choral voices emerge, ethereal and otherworldly, as if whispering dreams into the stillness of the night. These voices, combined with the subtle instrumentation, create a surreal and enchanting soundscape that evokes the depth and tranquility of sleep.

Dawn
The final movement, Dawn, heralds the arrival of a new day with a clear and hopeful tone. A melodic piano takes center stage, its bright and uplifting notes symbolizing the break of light and the promise of a fresh start. This movement is characterized by its optimistic and rejuvenating melody, which gradually builds in intensity and complexity. The hopeful piano is accompanied by gentle strings, weaving a tapestry of sound that culminates in a triumphant and harmonious finale, embodying the dawn's radiant and invigorating spirit.

If Not For The Light is a testament to Jeremias Langsämmer's ability to capture the nuanced emotions and transitions of the day through his music. Each movement is a carefully crafted vignette, painting a vivid auditory picture that transports listeners through the tranquil passage of time from dusk to dawn.

Serenata Del Prato Fiorito

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - 1756–1791
is unarguably one of the most prolific and notable classical composers of all time. A child prodigy, Mozart was already proficient on the keyboard and violin by the age of five, composing remarkable works and performing before European royalty. At just 17 years old, he was engaged as a musician at the Salzburg court but, driven by ambition and a restless spirit, he embarked on travels to seek better opportunities.

In 1781, while visiting Vienna, Mozart’s dismissal from his Salzburg post marked a turning point in his life. He chose to remain in the imperial capital, where he gained widespread fame but struggled to achieve lasting financial stability. It was during his final years in Vienna that Mozart created many of his most celebrated works, including symphonies, concertos, operas, and the unfinished Requiem.

Over the course of his short but extraordinary life, Mozart composed more than 600 works, spanning symphonic, concertante, chamber, operatic, and choral genres. These masterpieces are recognized as pinnacles of Western art music and continue to inspire audiences and musicians alike. His enduring influence on classical music is profound, solidifying his legacy as one of history’s greatest composers.

Pierre Fontaine, born in Nanterre, France, is a composer whose taste for early-20th harmony, jazz influences, XVIIth century dances and  film music have led him to conduct and compose for various ensembles an soloist such as the Telegraph Quartet, Symphonic & Chambers orchestras, the  International Orange Chorale of San Francisco and more. As a pianist who accompanies movies with live-improvised music in theaters across France, Pierre has also signed the original soundtrack for over ten short-films.

Pierre has won prizes in several competitions such as, Highsmith Orchestral Composition competition 2025, Artisee 2024 Composition competition "Over the Classic", ERSO 2024 Composition competition, the SSO Call for Score 2022 at USC in Los Angeles, the 6th Pankonin American Art Song competition 2022, 2nd prize at the SFCM Choral Competition 2022, 2nd Prize at the SFCM Art Song Competition 2021.

Pierre is currently based in Paris, France and graduated from San Francisco Conservatory of Music with a Master’s Degree in Composition where he studies with Dr. David Conte. In addition, Pierre holds a Advanced Certificate  in Composition from San Francisco Conservatory of Music, as well as a DE (Bachelor's degree) in Teaching Pedagogy from CeFeDem Auvergne Rhone Alpes.

In 2020, when the pandemic was starting to take hold, Hayley's passion for writing music was reawakened.  The Album, Seascape is borne out of a love for sea swimming during this time and as a way to work through her feelings of loneliness the restrictions caused.  Her music is a deep dive into an emotional landscape, creating a collection of piano music that is both memorable and brooding.

Her second album "a chequered past" takes inspiration the stories of loved possessions and how they shape our lives. There is something magical about these belongings moving onto others to create new chapters and they carry the memories, laughter and tears of those who once cherished them. Whether it is a vintage dress that witnessed countless dances or a worn-out book that held the dreams of its previous reader; these objects have an undeniable power to connect us to different times, places and emotions. We inherit an ongoing narrative, adding our own dialogue while acknowledging their rich past. Through the recycling of beloved items we are reminded that life is transient and ever evolving. Passing on these possessions to others we are perpetuating a cycle of love and nostalgia that lives on.
