I’m so excited to share with you my latest composition, Luna! A lullaby of sorts, I wrote this piece for my twins while I was pregnant with them.
Luna explores the beautiful combination of melody with minimalism. The alternating third interval motif heard from 0:07-0:15 drives the music forward, creating a sense of stability underneath the layers of texture and harmony. The main theme is reminiscent of folk melodies, painting a lyrical song over the minimalist accompaniment.
In the orchestrated version, I experimented with various layers and sounds to create depth.
Luna inspired many more compositions that are coming in the next few months. I love being able to tell a story through my music! Which version of Luna do you like best? What story does the piece tell you?
Hi Kathryn
Firstly, congratulations on your twins! As someone who’s helped see his own identical girls through their first 10 (soon to be 11) years, I can tell you that the exhaustion and feelings of being overwhelmed will lessen, and that there are plenty of fun times ahead once the pandemic is over…
Secondly, I very much appreciate how you subtly develop your material in your new piece – there’s a strong sense in it of going on a journey. I also think the orchestral shadings really help to accentuate the virtues of the piano score, giving a much more palpable sense of mystery to the ending, in particular
Best wishes,
Chris
Thank you for the comment, Chris! I look forward to when we are less exhausted with our twins 😆
And I’m so glad you like the piece! Thank you for your comments; I love reading about how others interpret my music.
I love Luna, and I want to be able to play it. Where can I get the sheet music? I received you ebook and found it very helpful.
I’m so glad you like the ebook! I’m afraid the sheet music for Luna is not yet available to the public, but it will hopefully be released sometime this year.
