Lyrics:

Sun and moon together rise,
Dancing one eternal waltz. 
Ballrooms painted separately,
It is yet one room, one dance.

Our love is the same.

You keep watching dusk, I keep watching dawn.
Though we sing to skies, it is our duet of hearts.

Ah that I may hear your voice.
Once  more see your face in light. In light!

Wherever we are on earth,
We're still under the same sky.
Knowing it's the same, knowing it's the same twilight.

I am watching starlit skies. You behold the sunrise.
Blazing glory lights the day, after constellations play.

Though we sing soliloquies, it is our duet of love.
And no matter where we are, we're still under the same sky.

8Dio 2016 Stand Out Contest Submission- “So Long" By Zachary Horner

Here is a recent school assignment I wrote called “These Died With Honour” - While trying to keep the melody sober and tainted with sorrow, I wanted to imbue it with a sense of accomplishment and victory. 

"These died not a defeated one, but a victorious many." - Allyson Horner

These Died With Honour

Musical Instrument Digital Interface mockup of John William's masterful theme for "Jurassic Park". This was a wonderful process to go thru by tediously dissecting his orchestration. While it's not a verbatim reproduction, it's pretty close... Hope you enjoy!
