8 Nocturnes for piano

Once again there is no story today, as we catch up on posting music.

Here are 8 Nocturnes for piano. Appropriately, tomorrow is the Winter Solstice, so a little night music from the Southern Hemisphere is not out of place.

    It starts of as something brooding and haunting before becoming something mellow and sweeter before finally ending as a mixture of the two. The first two parts reminded me a little of Philip Glass , the middle bit of Mozart and the ending of Bruce Goodman. Nice stuff. Now I’m off to listen to yesterday’s music post by you.

        I think I forgot the seventh Nocturne. I shall listen to it slowly. It’s no bother Bruce. I’d rather spend time listening to music than waste it messaging someone I don’t like on the phone lol.

      I wrote Number 4 in 1975! and when “Lord of the Rings” advertised for a composer I submitted that and I heard on the grapevine that I got perilously close to being selected – but thank goodness I didn’t because I had no resources!

              I don’t know how many – I wrote a lot in my 30 years teaching – e.g. a musical most years, and I was Head of the Music Department and we had three full orchestras and four choirs. At that time we were the largest music department in the country with 17 music teachers! I would be forever composing and arranging and orchestrating but I never kept any of them! I was too busy!
