84, for 84 days. Piano solo piece, recounting the short-lived reality of a blissful glory unaware of its doom. Though I will remember this too: "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall" (attributed to Emerson?). How far down did I fall, for "all glories end up in RIP" (attributed to Edward Young)? At the heart of the piece, there is a quote of Francisco Tarrega's "Spanish Romance" or "Romanza". [I found the statue in the picture as an allegory of glory, but the sweetness in her face tells you otherwise. It is a war monument in Cormeilles-en-Parisis, "Victoire endeuillée", by Bartholomé]. Something beyond, or deep underneath the fuming ruins of the dead splendors of glory, remains and smoulders still. Isn't it simple, tender, undying love?

I've launched this account (and my YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/edwardcortesmusic ) to spread some of the music I've composed, so all the music that I upload to this page is original and I am the "guilty" of it. 
I've composed in different genres, starting with classical music and also pop, rock, jazz, electronic, electro-acoustic, etc. Sorry if some of my tracks are long for these days ears, I begg you to try to be patient.

I hope you can enjoy my music and your comments will be more than welcome,  and I hope to interact with your opinions. 

It's easy to like a track but it's much more valuable to me if you comment or share my music.

To all those who follow me, comment, share or like my works, know that I am very grateful.

I work as a scientist for a living & am a hobbyist composer writing in a few different styles. I recommend headphones. All of my music is released under a Creative Commons Attribution/Noncommercial license.

My bandcamp page is getting out of date again, but some older albums there can be downloaded for free or for a name-your-own price donation.

If anyone wants to try performing any of this stuff on real instruments please send a message and I can provide scores. Not sure how playable some of it is for human musicians though.

Unsolicited messages asking me to listen to your latest song will lead to you being blocked unless if I know you well and we've interacted a lot.

Hope you enjoy and thanks for visiting!
