Category: Musical Compositions

From 1999 when I was sailing around the world in my sloop. Or… well…

One with words, one without. Put your little ones to sleep.

The only thing like this that I ever did, my fourteenth piece of music.

This is to help you relax and think kind thoughts.

The first, The Ballad of Billy, is from 1999, from memories of my youth. The second is just off the screen, Theme 294, which, for the moment, is quite pretty. But I’ll probably revise it endlessly.

Here’s a song for the curious among us. If we knew the future, would we still pursue our present lives? This might apply to birds and trees as well as us. In my mind, this is a beautiful song. And earlier I had posted “Maricie’s Song,” which had a lot of “listens” but which mysteriously disappeared. So I’m reposting it with two versions.

Maricie’s song was written to accompany my first novel, a fantasy piece that takes place in Miracavira, a dreamlike realm. One of the main characters is Maricie, a guide to this new world, who writes this song (to be sung purely in the mind) to bring me back from my ordinary world after things have gone south in Miracavira. It works, but you’d have to read the book to find out how.
