Rain, Water and Life

(I) Rain - To the south of my city of Dublin are the Wicklow Mountains onto which the rain falls "(I) Rain"

To the south of my city of Dublin are the Wicklow Mountains onto which the rain falls "(I) Rain". The mountains are like giant cupped hands that receive the water and hold it in lakes, and it fills the lakes through rivulets, streams and rivers. "(II) Water". Two of Dublin's Rivers come from this source and all the drinking water for two million people. The rain as water brings "(III) Life". The water for all the food growing in the plains and all the flowers and trees comes from these sources too.

The three movements are
(i) Rain
(ii) Water
(iii) Life

Chopin - The Lost Nocturne

Chopin - The Lost Nocturne is a captivating homage to the Romantic master, evoking the delicate beauty and emotional depth of his most cherished works. This nocturne enchants with its lyrical piano melody, accompanied by lush harmonies that create an atmosphere of introspection and serenity.

The piece flows with a dreamlike quality, balancing intricate phrasing with moments of profound simplicity. Its hauntingly beautiful themes and nuanced dynamics draw the listener into a world of quiet reflection, reminiscent of Chopin’s timeless nocturnes yet imbued with a sense of rediscovery.

A poignant tribute, The Lost Nocturne embodies the soul of Chopin’s artistry, offering both homage and innovation in equal measure.

If You Have to Ask You Will Never Know

жить в кайф джаз

'Music has been a faithful friend: always there to uplift, distract, colour and comfort. I write music to enrich life and take my inspiration from many sources and possibilities, like a bee using the nectar of different flowers to produce a unique honey.' Vincent Kennedy
