Orchestral Music by Aere

My orchestration of my earliest piano composition, which evokes images of a snowstorm, finally dying away to a cold winter wind.  It combines youthful enthusiasm with the insights of age.

Nocturne - The Long Night Of Despair

My orchestration of my piano sonata # 1, composed in my late teens. 

"Commencing with a poignant melody that grows into a resounding, thunderous statement, the first movement goes on to reveal its many facets. The voice of a flute adds dimension and pathos to a powerful theme. Throughout, the tension builds, leading to the explosive climax." - Salima

"The second movement is like a sunrise with ribbons of tone, the colors shading and shifting. The flute, oboe, and bassoon dominate, leading into the light, until the sun appears and a new day is born." - Salima

Lyrics:

Little girl, little girl...you live in such a magic world.
You laugh and cry, and so did I, before the book of life became unfurled.
Your friends are flowers in the field; to you, their secrets are revealed.
And to the music of the wind, you dance and twirl.
Little child, little child...by each new day you are beguiled.
A sparrow lands so near your hand- to you they're tame, for you are wild.
Each tree's a staircase to the sky. You have no fear, for you can fly.
How does the passion of our youth become defiled?

Baby blue, baby blue...your parents think they're good to you.
They're not unkind, but they are blind. They tell you not to try what they can't do.
How can they teach you right from wrong (when) they've lived in darkness for so long,
and they've forgotten all the things you know are true?
Little friend, little friend...whose ev'ry wish I would defend...
but you're not mine. There is a line I cannot cross or even bend.
Don't let them break you, you are free! Don't close your eyes, don't be like me!
You can remember who you are at childhood's end.

Symphonic Poem # 7 - Friends

A life, starting out simply, but growing to accomplish amazing things, at the end, fading to a whisper.

This is the first orchestral piece I created, as a proof-of-concept of whether or not I could do this.  It exceeded my expectations, and the flood-gates were opened in my creation of orchestral music!
