Music and Poetry..The full moon has great symbolization in ethnic cultures..
In your eyes I see the stars
That dance thru the blackest night
They guide me to a place of love so pure
Where everything fits just right..
With that look you captured my soul
I’m lost in the depths of your gaze
In your eyes I see a world so whole
A love worthy of endless praise..

New EP Trois petits morceaux now out!
ft. ‘le courage d’aimer’
To love with courage is to take the leap
To open your heart, to let it weep
To risk the pain that love can bring
To choose to fly, to spread your wings
It takes courage to trust, to let someone in
To be vulnerable, to express from within
To share your thoughts, your hopes, your fears
To let them see you through your tears
Love takes courage, it's not for the faint
It's a bumpy ride, full of joy and pain
But those who dare to take the chance
Are rewarded with love, not just romance
So take the leap with a heart that's bold
And let love's story forever be told
For in the end it's the courage to love
That makes life worth living and worth dreaming of..

2013 was the centenary year of the publication of Danny Boy, which has become one of the best known and loved songs of the twentieth century. Fred Weatherly (1848-1929), barrister and prolific songwriter wrote the words. In 1910, a year of tragedy for him with the deaths of his father and only son within 3 months of each other. He had penned some verses that year but was unable to find suitable music for them. But in 1912, he states in his memoirs, a sister-in-law in America sent him the music of the Londonderry air with a suggestion he might put words to that melody. Fred claimed not have heard this traditional Irish air before but said it was one the most beautiful melodies he had ever come across. With modifications, his 1910 words could be fitted to it and Danny Boy was published by Boosey and Hawkes, in 1913.

New original, rendezvous du matin, piano solo
Coming 24 Feb to streaming, part of my new EP Trois petits morceaux
In my mind I had this descending left hand bass motif. I created a romantic melody with tinges of nostalgy recalling favorite memories of a revered friendship.
Dawn of the morning lightly caresses
The moon touch of our hearts reveals
In the blackest of nights
In the breathlessness of circumstances
The embracing hearts slowly heals..

19 May: Nocturne in C Minor (original)
THOUGHTS ON A STILL NIGHT
Before my bed, the moon is shining bright,
I think that it is frost upon the ground.
I raise my head and look at the bright moon,
I lower my head and think of home.
—Li Bai
Nocturne in C Minor, a synthesis of East - West cultures and inspired by both the poem ‘Thoughts on A Still Night’ by Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai and the Nocturnes of Chopin.
Nocturne in C Minor is about to reach 350,000 streams. Thanks for listening! I will have a code for those who would like the sheet music from my website for free. Performance from a Twitter livestream.
