The Music
NEW DAY
When the first glow of dawn lights the sky, there is a feeling of rejuvenation and newness. This song touches that thread of emotion - a fresh beginning, a new chance, a tranquil awakening to new hope and promise..... it's a new day.
BREEZE IN G
This song is dedicated to my Mother. Mom loved music - particularly graceful melodies that linger in the air as if carried on a gentle breeze, and music that hinted an Irish lilt. Before each of my symphony concerts, which she and Dad always faithfully attended, she would ask me if the music on the program was going to be "pretty". With love, this "pretty" and gentle song is for my Mom.
I WONDER.....
It asks a question, and at the same time states a point of marvel and hopeful anticipation. I wonder if.... I wonder who.... I wonder when....I wonder ..........
QUIET BEAUTY
A song that speaks to the depth of beauty....the beauty to be found in a gentle touch, a wisdom shared through the eyes, a kind heart......a deep inherent eloquence. Beauty that is subtle and unique, and the foundation of love....the Quiet Beauty within.
SHADOW OF MY MIND
Shadows and the complexities of shade and light - reflective of the complexities of our emotions and thoughts. The shadows engage in an intertwining dance until arriving at a time and place of clarity, accord and ultimate serenity - a quiet and peaceful resolution to the shadow dance of the mind.
ESPERANCE (HOPE)
This song is dedicated to my Father. Dad had a great spirit of hope and faith, and maintained such a quiet courage about him that I will always remember and admire. With love, this song is for my Dad.
MISTIQUE
Lost in deep thought and introspection. As if wandering through a heavy mist, trying to find one's bearings. There is an air of uncertainty and mystery......why I named this song "Mistique".
SOLIOQUY
Solitude - feeling it's quiet comfort, yet also it's seclusion and melancholy.
QUAI-MODAL
A waltz with a gently twirling melody, winding and turning from major to minor, and then unraveling itself with whimsical flair.
