"Reaching for the Dream"

Liner Notes

This piece is for the two challenges: #commentsfirst challenge and Story Cube Challenge.

Thank you for sharing your ideas for my potential composition for comments first challenge. I have to apologize to @beacon and @kc_ for not following your comments. I hope I've connected my piece with the ideas of @dr_griff @thetau @metalfoot and @robynmackenzie

Regarding story cube challenge, I ran with just one idea. My roll was: bassinet, person sweating, eye, wheelchair, and action is reaching for something, I went for reaching for something :)

First 6 comments were posted before I composed my music. Thank you to everyone for your ideas. My music is open to collaboration. Please let me know if you are interested. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to listen and to share your thoughts and ideas.

What a lovely piece. I really like the modulations and unexpected chords. Terrific !

@andrea 10w

Those pretty little high notes give me a sense of reaching, reaching for something bright and wonderful. Love the cadence of this piece. Very light and happy.

@darcistrutt 10w

Lovely. I can feel a longing / reaching in the melody. Beautiful!

@russkeys 10w

Beautifully rendered. I really got that reaching feeling at the end. Lovely!

@robynmackenzieMod 10w

You really ran with this! Superbly beautiful.

@dr_griff 10w

Oh, this piece lifts my spirit in ways I needed so badly. Thank you for writing and sharing it.

@florian 10w

A translucent and light melody, very beautiful. 😊

Everything posted before this point were input to the challenge. Everything posted afterwards are comments on the final composition.

@kc_ 10w

I like the way the 3rd word of the first verse became the focal point of the bridge and BG Vox,

Love the Uke lead!

@beacon 10w

I don't think I've ever heard your lovely vocals before.

@robynmackenzieMod 10w

Those arpeggios in the higher register flutter like birds throughout the piece. Just beautiful.

@metalfoot 10w

I like how it alternates quieter and louder sections.

@thetau 10w

Love the key change into the chorus. But my attention goes directly to the simplicity of the chord structure in the main verse section, and that arpeggio is perfect. It reminds me of Bach's prelude #1 but so much more sophisticated in its variation. Great job Keep it up...

Dream can have a lot of interpretations. I wonder what you'd do with a dream that you actually dreamed (while sleeping) and then felt the need to put it into action on waking.
