انت تتصور شي معقول 👌🏻

a German Song which translates as ' you my love' in English. it is not a romantic song but dedicated to my mother who is the love of my life. she has cared for me and loved me since I was born. through many difficult years. I am a paranoid schizophrenic with other disorders aswell including borderline personality disorder. even though ive been extremely difficult to deal with over the years my mother has never let me down. I do not live with her but she is my official carer. I have a special affinity with Germany and the German language.  I have Polish/irish blood but I feel the strongest pull towards Germany so maybe in my ancestry there is german blood. 

du meine liebe( arranged for cello and piano)

"No Woman, No Cry" refers one of the very few phenomenons in the genocidal environment. If there are no women left, there will be no one to rebel, stand up and raise the voice against oppression.  

no woman, no cry

Primer movimiento de mi primer cuarteto. Su nombre es "A Julia", en dedicación a mi madre.

Cuarteto opus 1 - 1er movimiento

a German Song which translates in English to ' i hear the thunder' . my favourite composers depend on my mood but more often than not I love schubert above all others. this song shows his influence. his music inspires me together with the words to his songs by the great German poets goethe, heine,  muller and others.

Australian composer, born 1960, married to Clare Maclean (New Zealand/Australian composer). The first series of paintings used on my Soundcloud sight were by my father, Barry Carroll. I have used other painters since then. There is a wide variety of music here: recent compositions, pieces written in my thirties, student works, and pieces written in my teenage years. Its mostly based on Finale versions of my scores. There is a full list of my Soundcloud pieces at https://john-carroll-poems.com/soundcloud-recordings/

Soon after I started learning piano I began composing. At university I studied with Peter Sculthorpe (1978-81) [and earlier, with Martin Wesley-Smith, Moya Henderson and Eric Gross]. My style was modernist (In Terra Pax, Sonata for Two Pianos and Horn, Qui Tollis). After my studies I felt drawn to tonality. Many of my pieces were written during my thirties. My style is often tonal, sometimes using the structures of classical music, sometimes incorporating traditional melodies, aiming to express a sense of the timeless goodness in existence. I became a pastor. There was a twenty year exile from composition, during which time I started writing poetry. 

In 2018 I began composing again. Over 1900 new works have been written, each one canonic - using Plainsong, Jewish cantillation, Scottish pibrochs, Icelandic music, early transcriptions of Aboriginal music, Breton and Northumbrian melodies, Gaelic psalms, Irish and English tunes, Welsh folk songs, and my own melodies (and an extended series of works that accompany paintings) "joining our voice to a great communal voice that calls out across the centuries" (Ben Myers). Bruckner greatly influenced me when I was young. May I also create melodies that "arc from heaven" (Colin Davies).
