Soliloquy !

Soliloquy has been #1 Classical for 3 days now.
In the past, I had promoted a work, but it only remained on the top for one day...
I am in uncharted waters here... And new fans in NewZealand and Sicily!

I hate vanity posts, but, as I say... I am in uncharted waters...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well Soliloquy slipped to second behind a symphonic band performance of a piece by this Bach fellow.... LOL 3 days at #1 was great!

Many of my works have a story behind them, but I do not want to overwhelm folks with a bunch of dry verbage... If there is a piece in what I have submitted that anyone wants an explanation for, post a request here, and I will reply...

Thanks

I like the beginning of Clouds IV,,,,nice opening.... very interesting motifs,,,,and I like the bit of dissonance later on. I also like how you have used the timpani in the opening of Clouds III. The harp is lovely and I like how you use it to build tension with the horns.... The string parts speak to me as well. Well done! Keep Creating!!:)

Especially, I liked the usage of Harp. Only thing I missed seeing in them is contrast. Is the output dB purposefully maintained lower?

At 7:50am on September 25, 2009, Albert De La Vega said…: Thanks for the comment, Edward. I have several ideas (all in my head) for that one, will repost when a bit more complete. BTW I like the Soliloquy and the "breathy"strings on alot of your work.
