Boys Bedtime Music

One of the most soothing sessions by music2work2 is Boys' Bedtime Music. It is a piece done solely on the piano at a rhythmic, moderately fast tempo. Listening to this piece, you can almost feel yourself relaxing and the stress melting away.

The image that comes to mind while listening to this music is that of a flower, perhaps a rose – first, as a bud, it’s petals wrapped tightly. But, with time, the petals begin to unfold. The bud becomes looser, more relaxed; individual petals become apparent, spreading out until the full beauty of the flower is revealed.

Charlotte

One of the new music sessions composed while I was with Andrew in LA is now available on the music2work2 web site. Charlotte is, of course, special to me in that it bears my name. It is a beautiful melody consisting of piano and strings. Listening to this piece, many thoughts go through my mind:

I remember my amazement at watching the piece be composed. I think about how wonderful it is to have a friendship you know will last because it is based on mutual respect, understanding, and shared basic beliefs about life.

I also think about the way things work out, whether by accident or as part of some grand scheme - - how an extremely talented musician from Scotland, and a woman from NC with only an appreciation of good music, could possibly end up working together on a project they both believe in, music2work2.com, an online music distribution site.

And, I think about how it is the unlikely events, the unlikely friendships that make life exciting and interesting. I am honored to have this session bear my name

Late

Late is a music2work2 session that consists solely of piano tones. It is a dramatic musical piece, full of changes in tempo and mood. It begins at a slow tempo with an almost solemn sound. Further into the piece, the rhythm changes to a faster tempo and the mood becomes livelier. A dramatic change in tempo about half way through leads into a section reminiscent of Moonlight Sonata. The ending has a happy, more upbeat tempo giving it a hopeful feel. For me this piece speaks of change - whether changes in life, changes in attitude, changes in feelings and moods. It has slow, solemn parts, sections where it is more mellow and more cheerful, one part where it is even dark and sad. But, Late  ends with a rhythmic, cheerful sound indicating to me that whatever the changes are about, there is hope and a possibility for peace and contentment.
