This piano composition takes its cues from Beethoven's Bagatelle "Für Elise".  It seemed a bit of fun to give Beethoven's famous piece a new twist and so we have.  Thank you to my dear friends Oddrun, Arne, and Peter, for this marvelous and joyful experience of working together.  It brings us all a bit closer together.

An Autumn Pastorale

The year’s getting late, now summer’s sleeping
I contemplate how autumn’s creeping in.
Berries shining for the birds
As they harmonise each others’ words In a chorus like the angels heard.

The year’s getting late, for carefree living

Lazy times, with honest give and take.
Simple joys like baby smiles
And climbing hills to see for miles
The evening star switching on…year’s getting late

The year’s getting late, memories clinging
Better times, that sweet hope’s bringing in
The last of this year’s butterflies
Mother nature’s neat surprise

Can’t those days come back please? … year’s getting late.

Autumn Pastorale | Oddrun E, Arne Hiorth, Peter the Poet, & Debra B

The Silent Mind

Enigma

Seven years ago, Oddrun and I released a beautiful collaboration titled “Smile” — a heartfelt reinterpretation of the timeless theme from Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times (1936) 🎬.  Born from a melody that once underscored silent emotions on screen, our version gave it a new voice — tender, human, and full of light.  For some reason, it never made its way to my SoundCloud page… until now. It feels like the right moment to share this piece again — a little fragment of beauty we both cherished.
 I hope it touches you as it once touched us. ✨

Arrangements by Charles Chambaz 
All instruments, effects are performed by myself.

Smile: A Charles(music) & Oddrun(vocal) Collaboration

A slow introduction in Russian Romantic style precedes a delicate rubato exposition followed by more explosive developments.

There must be some anguish in me that I don't know well,
as I'm often told that I write a very nostalgic music.
I don't mind but I don't think it is my true nature,
or is it something about myself I ignore and other can recognize.
What's real is the anguish of the blank page.
It does exist, always will.
When I must start writing, I'll try to find a way
to do anything else before delving into it.
But I know that when I begin working, when I put the first note
on the paper I won't be able to stop.
I think about it without knowing it.
I wake up in the morning with an idea.
But when I begin working I'm stuck.
Then I'm tired, I don't feel like working anymore....
I've done enough!
I won't find anything else, I can't redo it.
It's also the anguish, feeling like
I won't be able to start again.
But before going to sleep, I look carefully
at what I've done, and without thinking about it...
I find the solution for the end.
