This is just a little piece I composed during a bit of free time I had this week. It's played on a John Sindt in D (the finest whistle ever made IMO). The low whistle in the second verse s a Jerry Optima in D. Nice whistle for the money.

As for the plugins I used, this piece features samples from Hollywood Strings and Brass Diamond, LA Scoring Strings 2.5, Heavyocity Damage, and East West Symphonic Orchestra.

The sharp of hearing may notice that this piece was inspired by an English folk tune that has been adapted in many American spiritual songs. The chords and melody are my own, but it is certainly inspired.

Celtic Hymn

Even in your darkest moments, He is with you still.

Still

This was a song I wrote for my grandmother before she died, it was the words she wanted everyone to hear; even though she couldn't speak them.

Don't Cry For Me

Still I cry: I am thirsty
For your kindness 
and compassion

I am here
I am the stranger
Will you turn away
Will you welcome me?

See me in the wounded and the weary
Will you love me through my anger and my fear?

And still I thirst for love
And still I thirst for love

Tell me now
Have you forsaken me?
I am lonely
Will you comfort me?

I am here
I am the aged
I am the unborn child
Will you shelter me?

See me in the homeless and the hungry
Will you love me through my sorrow and my pride?

And still I thirst for love
And still I thirst for love

I am here
I am knocking
Will you answer me?
Will you let me in?

Still I cry
Can you hear me?
I am thirsty
I am thirsty

And still I thirst for love
And still I thirst for love

I Am Thirsty
