Something in me can't resist to comment Immediately . This sort of music makes me addicted, in a positive sense. I feel that there is so much that you express with it I have no words for. I just know that it goes *very deep* into my soul and opens my mind to regions of the world that I didn't know of yet. Or...I might have forgotten these regions and your music reminds me of them. Hey do you really know what a *wonderful* artist you are?

Hi m1469,

This is a wonderful improvisation having an exotic flavor to it, and I love your singing!    The form of this piece seems to be not a song for voice with piano accompaniment, but rather a piano improvisation with a beautiful, soaring voice obbligato part.  For example, if we think of Falla's "Nights in the Gardens of Spain", the piece is definately not a piano concerto at all (despite what some listeners might think); rather it is an orchestral tone poem with a continuous piano obbligato.  Am I interpretting your intention correctly?  I'm always curious about structure.

Good work!!

Hi Rachfan.  I was fortunate enough to get the chance to read your initial and entire post before you modified it .  Thank you for listening and for posting in.  Yes, I think that you are interpretting my intentions correctly.  I am currently pondering the balance between the voice and piano parts, not just in this improv (though, as a result of this improv), but in general.  As I mentioned in another post, this is a new experience for me to be including vocal improv with my pianistic improv.  I think I will do more experimenting in the future, and perhaps roles will change a bit ... I am not sure. 

But, my intentions at the time were definitely more what you have described and the voice is supposed to be more of a complimentary color to the piano.  In this case, the voice is more of the accompaniment ... or something more along those lines than thinking of the voice as being a solo with piano accompaniment.

Thanks !

Hi m1469,

Ha-ha, yeah that's funny that you caught my original version of the post.      Well, I looked at it and said, "Arrrggg...  too long and too much about my experiences, and not enough about m1469's composition."  So out came the eraser.  I'm an absolutely incurable and ruthless editor.

I was pretty sure I'd figured out your structural intent, so was pleased when you confirmed it.  It's an uncommon approach to have the voice as accompaniment, but its occurrance makes it all that much more effective.  I think you're extremely creative.

This is a definitely a cool piece!
