Arrival

January 30, 2007

The session, Arrival, by music2work2 is a musical piece that makes you feel good! It consists of piano and strings and the tempo is relatively fast, upbeat.
The imagery evoked for me by this session is that something great and happy is about to happen. The music seems to be announcing this event. [...]

Richard

January 28, 2007

There is a fantastic new session on music2work2.com entitled Richard. It is unlike any of the other sessions in the way it was composed and in the sound. The rhythm in general is upbeat with a brief, dramatic change in sound and tempo about half way through the piece. This session is a mix of [...]

Wendi’s Theme

January 24, 2007

Wendi’s Theme, the older version, on the Music 2 Work 2 web site is a session that combines strings and piano. It has a slow, mellow tempo, as does the more recently posted Wendi’s Theme; however, the 5.06.2006 version consists of only one voice, the piano.
When listening to this version of Wendi’s Theme, as well [...]

Anam Cara

Anam Cara is a beautiful little piece by music2work2 that makes you feel good. The piano is the only voice in this session, which has an upbeat, uplifting tempo. The clear notes of the piano bring to mind simplicity and even a sense of purity.
Having traveled over the past several days, spending a lot of [...]

The competition is not mean or one of anger, it seems that in this piece, each voice is more “doing its own thing” although [...]

Beautiful

January 15, 2007

Beautiful by music2work2 definitely bears the correct name. The combination of strings and piano produce a melody, with mixed tempos, that is indeed beautiful.

One image that is evoked for me by this piece is of a sunrise. The rays of sun slowly begin to peak through the darkness as the sun rises [...]

Annelise

January 11, 2007

One of the newer sessions on music2work2.com is Annelise. This is an interesting musical piece in that it seems to me to have three distinct parts. The first is slow and rhythmic, the strings and piano combine in a calm and harmonious way. About one third of the way through the session, the rhythm becomes [...]

Hanging in there…….

January 10, 2007

I am often struck by the indomitable nature of the human spirit – it generally strikes me when I am incapacitated by circumstance, often depression or grief. The images of people who have nothing realistic to gain by moving, but who do so just because it is better than staying still and dying in [...]
