Hello Friends...
Here will be February for me Johnny, John ellll....
http://www.korgforums.com/mp3/The_Gift.mp3
It is called "The Gift" and as usual, deals with love between two people. It is a piano improvisation on a small string orchestra background and is a bit over 4 min...
Hope you will be o.k. with another of these but this one DOES have instrumentation written for it as well...
My Best Regards!!! and Thanks for Listening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Johnny, John, ellll |

Well, you have the gift, so you have earned what it takes to record such a beautiful piece. I hear intersting unexpected notes in spots. This does have more of a concerto feel w the strings for backup. Just as it, at moments, decides to tell a tale, it then hesitates and reconsiders. Interesting. Then a key change or so after 3 mins. You do your dynamics so well that it really adds to the piece. Loud and soft. I think this is really beautiful and a bit different from your last. Well done. I enjoy this type of thing immensely. _________________ George Nelson is 2loose

By the way, I forgot to mention that I do have many of your pieces on my Ipod which I listen to from time to time and do enjoy during my commutes, or late at night when I'm relaxing. _________________ George Nelson is 2loose

These improvisations really motivate me to record some of my own. Maybe I'll do one really quick...it's just I already have enough on my hands at the moment, and a lot of songs in progress that I need to finish.
Great song. Very relaxing. The strings blend in so well. Calm, peaceful, I enjoyed it. _________________ Like my Facebook Page!

Ah John,
You really whack me in the chest with this.......seems sad, in a way, melancholic and hopeful.....can picture so many images when I close my eyes and just listen.......wish I could play this well.....
Cheers!

Hi Ron ..Again ...
Well the sub title (as in, "original" title ) is "Plaint" in feeling for a love that is not working...., and so, yes .,It has a sadness and lost feel at times as a result...,I am very glad you found something in it Thank You!!!
I have always written of love and of romance, including just the feeling of the romantic period and the Fantasy as well..
Thanks Ron You are very kind!
My Regards!!!! John (Johnny, ellll etc et al ) |

Very beautiful John, I loved the expressive ebbs and flows and all the wonderful harmonies. I really admire the way your fingers can just 'find' the notes while you improvise your songs.
And I agree with George, about the "ambient piece with rhythmic sounds and atmospheres"
Regards from
Dee |
