The end of summer

This is Labor Day weekend, the holiday signifying the end of summer. It certainly doesn't feel like the end of summer - the heat and humidity are still unbearable. It has been a busy summer for music2work2 and an exciting one. We haven't gotten the changes made yet for the new look of the web site , but we are getting more and more registrations on our web site, getting more MySpace friends, getting loads of positive feedback, and individuals are playing our music on their MySpace page.

It's all good..........even if it is the end of summer!

Have a safe and happy holiday.

Giancarlo Scalia

Giancarlo Scalia from Montreal, Quebec, Canada is one of music2work2's MySpace friends. He composes and performs classical music. His compositions number over 90, and although most are written for solo piano, they are also written for a variety of instruments. There are three sample pieces available to listen to on Giancarlo Scalia's MySpace page. They are all beautiful compositions. My favorite is "Ripples Main Theme" written for Ripples in Time a documentary - his first film score.

Cecilia Chailly

One of music2work2's MySpace friends is Cecilia Chailly from Italy. Cecilia Chailly is a multi-talented individual. She plays the harp and is the "pioneer of electric harp." She had an important classical career before beginning to write, play and sing her own music. She has recorded several albums. Three of the four samples of her music available to listen to on her MySpace page, are from her 2006 released album 'Alone,' dedicated to her father, a composer. On this album she sings, plays acoustic harp, violin, piano, percussions and flutes. I find these three pieces especially beautiful and sweet. The melodies are lovely and her voice is soft and pleasant. "Kiss From Heaven" is an instrumental piece and one of my favorites, along with Solamente tu."

Not only is Cecilia Chailly an outstanding musician, she is also a writer - working on her second novel, a painter, a film-maker, and a photographer. Check out examples of her many talents on her MySpace page.
