VERSE1
I’ve been fine
Ever since that night
At a time
When it felt so right
Still think about
Every shining star in sight aligned
Reflecting lights on

PRE-CHORUS
Water, dancing on water
Like lovers
Never seen nothing sweeter
Ooh

CHORUS
Now and then I think of you
All the things we used to do
And the truth is I still
Wanna hold your hand in mine
Wanna see the moon and stars
With you

VERSE2
Wonder if
You would think of me
If you’ve seen How beautiful it is
Still think about
Every shining star in sight aligned
Reflecting lights on

PRE-CHORUS
Water, dancing on water,
Like lovers
Never seen nothing sweeter
Ooh

CHORUS
Now and then I think of you
All the things we used to do
And the truth is I still
Wanna hold your hand in mine
Wanna see the moon and stars
With you

BRIDGE
I know that it’s over
But somehow
My whole heart
Can’t seem to move on

CHORUS
Now and then I think of you
All the things we used to do
And the truth is I still
Wanna hold your hand in mine
Wanna see the moon and stars
With you

Now and Then

A Small Memory

May 2, 2018 
Boston University Orchestra Reading

Praying Mantis In Atlantis

This is the fourth and final movement of "Jazz Movements", a piece that explores jazz styles in an orchestral setting. "Grooves" is inspired by funk and fusion, featuring interlocking rhythms and driving energy.

Read by the Boston University Orchestra on May 2, 2018, conducted by Neal Hampton.

Grooves

Bruce Brubaker - Keyboard Study 2, Version 3 (Arandel remix)

From Far Away was commissioned and premiered by pianist Ana Glig and was originally conceived as a sort of bittersweet celebration of her home country, Georgia. In keeping with this intent, all the motives in both movements are derived from two Georgian folk tunes. The first movement draws from the song Tsinkaro and, much like the original song, the movement sets up a repetitive motive that is then elaborated on over time. The high ornamental figures are intended to be somewhat indicative of the beautiful, improvisatory style of singing found in many Georgian folk songs.
The second movement is based on the folk song Mkhedruli. This movement more closely resembles the source material and uses the running thirds found in the song extensively. The different sections in the movement align chronologically with the sections they are drawn from and the movement finishes with an off beat summation of the material in 7/8 time.

The piece appears on Ana Glig's new CD 'Reminiscences'. Learn more about Ana Glig here: https://www.onepointfm.com/en/anagligvashvili

Reminiscences

From Far Away (Movements I & II) - Ana Glig, Piano

Tomorrow Is Another Day

This prelude first grew out of a desire of mine to write a work that was heavily based in triadic harmony. I had been, for a lengthy period leading up to this, writing pieces that were mostly non-triadic in harmonic language, and felt a sort of innate need to write something in a dramatically different aesthetic than my other pieces. I decided to write a piece that was post-minimalist in nature, sharing its aesthetic with minimalism, but not aligning with the ethos of minimalist composing. Instead, the piece still exploits elements such as directionality of phrase and cadential movements. In the absence of functional harmony, however, movement of notes, color, interplay of independent arpeggiation, and contour lend the music its phrasing.

Prelude (four-hand version)

"Nighthawks"

Stories from the Sky is a conceptual collection of 10 neoclassical ambient pieces that aim to place the listener within a place of reflection and deep thought. The 10 pieces employ Sid's acclaimed sound, incorporating moving electronic elements with deeply emotional and melancholic orchestral foundations.
