Wonderfully rich tenor voice… amazing power 😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Climbing like Ivy...soft as grapes...dyed with love. Magnificent. Tamura is remarkable. The composition and performance divine. A gem

In my dreams I sometimes dive in the wide ocean or in deep water. Sometimes I find myself surrounded with sharks, sometimes I have to find my way through storms.

I always wake up very agitated after these dreams. Diving in deep water is an emotional adventure I tried to capture in this song.

Thank you, Adam, for giving it a last shape...

Deep Sea

One of Nature's sweetest fragrances, rain-washed air.  What a delight and honor to join Dan-DT, Clara, and Seagull in making this fragrant aural experience, and my maiden voyage into Dan's lovely genre of French Fantasy more of which can be heard @dan-t-3.  Seagull's lovely music can be heard here @farout-music-studio.

After The Rain  (Dan-DT, Clara, David, and Seagull)

My adaptation of Robert Schumann's "Child Falling Asleep" from his Scenes from Childhood Op. 15.

No More (Collab w Syntaleta-remastered)

This is the first release of the original version of Evie's Song that I dedicate to my beautiful wife.

This version is a relatively simple piano piece that I developed and played on the piano.  From this music I composed a more complicated piano work that Liz Dicker (https://soundcloud.com/liz-dicker) so kindly performed.  You can hear that wonderful rendition by clicking this link https://soundcloud.com/liz-dicker/evie-by-christopher-larkins.

I also used this music as the main theme for the last movement of my 4th Symphony.  https://soundcloud.com/cpjl/larkins-symphony-no-4-movement-4

I hope you enjoy listening.

Evie's Song

Well, the song‘s title is relatively straight-forward. Due to the harmonies that sound (at least for me) quite oriental and the unsquare metra at some parts, this song reminds me of one of my all-time most favourite books. I leave it up to you, dear Listener, to imagine, how this specific tale evolves .

Composition-wise: The piece is in a scale (a-a#-c#-d-e-f-g-a) that is not an ecclestical mode but rather influenced by oriental scales. I read a bit about Persian music and though this scale also does not seem to occur in the Persian Dastgah system with its microtonal intervals, it still it reminds me of 1001 nights – can‘t help the cliche, hope, this is not understood as cultural appropriation ;-). 
The first minute until 1:07 the piece oscillates between just two harmonies (based on a and a#). Thereafter, the track shifts to the more lyric Dorian mode (d-f-g-a-b-c). The arpeggios starting @ 1:37 are meant to resemble a Persian tar. Thereafter, @ 2:11 the track reverts to the finish with the original tune but 1 tone lower (ie, the scale starts with g instead of a) and some minor rhythmic variations vs the beginning. 
The base rhythm is a 4/4, though this is interrupted frequently by syncopes to allow for a more free floating rhythmic texture. Moreover, the underlying 4/4 is at times interrupted by beats of length 6/4 (e.g. @ 0.14, 1:11, 2:25, 2:44,… ). 

The track has been recorded on a Roland FP-90 and mastered in Cubase by adding compressor, reverb, a Stereo enhancer and fiddling a bit with the EQ.
The picture was created with Stable Diffusion. I find it fascinating that most of the figures upon closer inspection make little anatomic sense but still our brain accepts them upon a short glance as a perfectly valid picture.

Scheherazades Tale (Solo Piano)

This piece was inspired by listening to a piece of music by my good friend Jean-Pierre Dubois (JiPé)....he allowed me to use his theme, for which I'm very grateful....

I hope you will enjoy listening...

New music recorded and coming. Sorry I should get back to orchestral. Playlists seem to like piano. It is the anniversary of my father's passing so October is a sad month. Also, had recurrent symptoms perhaps from the removed brain tumor.. needed medical therapy for a while.

Poema V "Para Que Tu Me Oigas" (Poem by Pablo Neruda)

As a composer, I am fortunate to have collaborated with incredibly talented artists from SoundCloud. This includes my latest album with the truly extraordinary soprano Maribel Villarroel and the masterful arranger and pianist René Calderón for 'Canciones para Pablo Neruda.' These songs are based on the poems of the great Pablo Neruda, and permission has been granted by the Pablo Neruda Foundation. Please listen, Maribel is a tour de force and her and René's interpretation of Neruda and these songs is so heartfelt. I am so deeply moved and appreciative of their artistry.

Other albums are 'Entre Jupiter y Marte,' and 'Reflections.' The remarkable tenor Ricardo Tamura, accompanied by the accomplished pianist Lucy Arner, performed 'Entre Jupiter y Marte'. Ricardo and Lucy are both amazing. These songs were co-written with the acclaimed author Antonio Skarmeta, which is my most special and dear honor. 'Reflections' is a collection of my earlier works that were wonderfully interpreted by the gifted pianist Javier Gonzales.

Additionally, these albums are accompanied by musical scorebooks filled with beautiful art, created by great Chilean, American, and Japanese artists. These books, with the same titles as the albums, are available on Amazon.com.  'Canciones para Pablo Neruda" has been registered with the Ministerio de las Culturas, las Artes y el Patrimonio de Chile.

Another special collaboration among many is with Paul-Maurice Roche, the incredible pianist and composer.  Thank you for taking a song to new levels of nuance and emotion.

I compose all the time, so there are many other songs here. Thank you for your support!

Pamela
