Piano Collection No. 4 Songs of Serenity

Sentiments

My quiet place is playing the piano... and just for the sake of it!

A Quiet Place

I am blessed to have a river that flows behind our home.  Sometimes the river is raging, sometimes it flows gently.  But it never disappoints.  The sounds, textures, ripples, patterns, colors and reflections tell a story of life, work, play and the earth's creation. Forces so greater than me, that all I can imagine as I sit at the edge while wiggling my toes in the cold clear water, did I forget to turn off the stove?  Thank you for listening!

Good Night, All is Well ~ Words and Music by Jennifer L. Jones

Good Night,
Good Night,
All is Well, My Love.
One last kiss
Before daybreak.

Good Night, 
Good Night,
All is Well, My Love.
One last Kiss
One last Prayer
All I well, All is well…

Good Night, All Is Well

Good Night, All is Well

A few days ago, I heard the song Sunshine by John Denver on YouTube.  In my 20’s, I was a fan of John Denver, but now that I am back into music, I realized his God given voice is one of the greatest of all time, as well as his songwriting talent.   I am absolutely enamored by his voice and song writing skills.  Sunshine is a love song, a simple song, simple chord changes, and simple, yet genius lyrics- “Sunshine makes me happy… makes me cry… Sunshine almost always makes me high”.   All those things and more!  I enjoyed so much learning this song, I hope you enjoy my rendition for solo piano.  
Go down memory lane and Listen to John Denver’s most beautiful Sunshine https://youtu.be/g5sbTHMP0Ig?si=QTTpRfprxgZB2858

Sunshine ~ Cover John Denver

Welcome friends and to my profile! I hope to celebrate 300 original tracks on Soundcloud this year!  Thank you for listening and helping me in my musical journey. It has been a difficult year for me personally. Yet, musically, I believe I am writing some of my best music.  I am infinitely inspired and humbled by the extraordinary creativity I hear from your music each day and the wonderful friends I have encountered from every part of the world! THANK YOU! I am so very grateful for your support and the gift of music in my life!
 
What Inspires Me...I am inspired each day to compose music that touches and connects the listener in meaningful ways that are personal to their own experiences and feelings.  I believe what the world needs is more songs about love for all living things and the earthly treasures around us. The power of love is magical, mysterious, and miraculous!  And, it is essential to our survival like water and the air we breathe.  I believe that through the universal language of music, love can heal, bring joy, and create an invisible chain that pulls all of us together, not apart.  

A Little About Me...I started composing in 2016  after not touching the piano for many years. A career, raising a family and just every day life got in the way of making music. After retiring as a music teacher in the public schools, I started dreaming of playing the piano again and my years of classical training slowly came back to me. I love every genre of music, and the talent and creativity on SoundCloud has inspired me at every level!

For those of you who follow me on Soundcloud, I have been experimenting with adding tracks to my piano compositions.  I create and record everything myself using a Yamaha 660DGX, including the instrumental tracks built into the keyboard. Then, I edit on my laptop using Sony Sound Forge Music Pro.  It's a simple set up, and I have lots to learn.  I am not afraid of receiving feedback if you have any to give.  Sometimes, it's the most simple thing I may be doing wrong that changes everything!
