Moments of Wonder

My first song with lyric!

Freedom ~ Love ~ Us

You said you want warmth and passion
You long for the ocean
I said I want cool and peace
I dream of the mountain

I see you when the sun sets
I think of you when the moon shines
I chase you in the rain
I can only reach you… in my dreams

I am here
but I am really gone
You are close
but you are no longer near

where is my next stop
the land of freedom
there’s no darkness, no walls
wind chimes in the song of souls

where is your next stop
the land of love
there’s no harm, no fear
scents of flowers perfusing the air

love of freedom
freedom of love
love of freedom
freedom of love

are we going to cross again
would i ever see you again

My second piano composition

My 2nd composition is in A minor. Part of the inspirations was from Jay Chou’s (a Chinese pop singer and song writer) latest album November’s Chopin, but it doesn’t really sound like any of his songs. Actually people told me parts of it sounded like Yanni, the movie theme from Piano, the movie theme from John Woo’s… oh well, I guess there is not much character to the song, but I like it better than the first one. Here is the score in pdf.

My First Music Composition

This is my first music composition (named after this blog actually). Initially I wanted to write a song, but melody started to flow before the lyric. So I just made it a piano piece. It sounded as if I had some text in mind, but I wasn’t able to create any. There is no particular style to this piece. The harmony part is traditional, uninspired – I’d say. It’s my first attempt after all.

Here is the score in pdf, and in midi. It is created with Lilypond, an open-source music notation editor/processor. It is to writing music score what LaTex is to writing equations.
