The Gravity Of It All

Pascal Hennig & Jeremy J. Saks - The Gravity Of It All

Voici une pièce que j'ai faite il y a un certain moment avec Gary Courtland-Miles (Anomon).  Il m'a demandé si je pouvais ajouter des orchestrations sur une de ses magnifiques pièces de piano.  Sur le thème de l'Amour et l'importance de sa place dans nos vies.

Here's a piece I did some time ago with Gary Courtland-Miles (Anomon).  He asked me if I could add orchestrations on one of his beautiful and heartfelt piano pieces.  This is all about Love and the importance of it in our lives.

It's Something Like This - with Anomon

Unreachable.

I've started this song last autumn.

I wanted to express the repetitive attempt to touch what remains out of reach. Physically. Mentally. Locked from the outside. Locked from the inside.  When the words are missing. When the meaning is nowhere. 
To go on. Try. Again and again.

A Calm Reflection

This composition was inspired by the poem "Day is Done" by the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882).  

Day is Done

The day is done, and the darkness 
Falls from the wings of Night, 
As a feather is wafted downward 
From an eagle in his flight. 

I see the lights of the village 
Gleam through the rain and the mist, 
And a feeling of sadness comes o'er me 
That my soul cannot resist: 

A feeling of sadness and longing, 
That is not akin to pain, 
And resembles sorrow only 
As the mist resembles the rain. 

Come, read to me some poem, 
Some simple and heartfelt lay, 
That shall soothe this restless feeling, 
And banish the thoughts of day. 

Not from the grand old masters, 
Not from the bards sublime, 
Whose distant footsteps echo 
Through the corridors of Time. 

For, like strains of martial music, 
Their mighty thoughts suggest 
Life's endless toil and endeavor; 
And to-night I long for rest. 

Read from some humbler poet, 
Whose songs gushed from his heart, 
As showers from the clouds of summer, 
Or tears from the eyelids start; 

Who, through long days of labor, 
And nights devoid of ease, 
Still heard in his soul the music 
Of wonderful melodies. 

Such songs have power to quiet 
The restless pulse of care, 
And come like the benediction 
That follows after prayer. 

Then read from the treasured volume 
The poem of thy choice, 
And lend to the rhyme of the poet 
The beauty of thy voice. 

And the night shall be filled with music 
And the cares, that infest the day, 
Shall fold their tents, like the Arabs, 
And as silently steal away.

Day is Done

“Second Passacaglia for String Orchestra” was completed in July, 2022 in Fairview, TX. 

From the composer's publisher Creative Spirit OnLine: "Brooks’s Second Passacaglia unfolds broodingly over a 17-bar, slowly moving bass line in cellos and basses, while the variations above increase in movement and intensity until finally arriving at a subdued and haunting final cadence."

The work is in one movement. Performance time is about 10 minutes. 
Printed and electronic scores and parts are available from www.CreativeSpiritOnline.com
A virtual recording of this work is posted on www.soundcloud.com/robert-john-brooks.

Performance notes:
•	Tempo, expression, and dynamic markings should be strictly observed.
•	There is no key signature. Accidentals apply to the end of the measure or to the note or notes tied over the measure, and only to notes of the same pitch class, in the same octave.
•	Hairpin pairs (e.g.: mp <>, mf ><) indicate a temporary volume change of one dynamic level.
•	Passages marked  fff  or ppp  indicate playing as loudly and as quietly as possible, respectively.
•	Double-bass “C-extension” is required.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by and listen to my music. All of my music is inspired by my experiences in life, good, bad, tense, happy & sad. Music has always been my first love & I believe that nothing is worth creating if not for sharing, so I hope you enjoy it. If I raise just one persons spirits or spur an emotion, objective achieved! 🎼🎹🎶👍

Thanks

Mark
