"Your...musical pieces are a soulful creation of a young artist (perhaps not over the age of 35) striding to prevail in life (aren't we all?).
While we chatter away like a cracked kettle, your music has the kernel of eternity that someday when fully blossomed, could reach the saints in the heavenly places as well as those of us on earth."

"A very beautiful and deeply moving work, Sean. The
haunting vocal lines in the early central part, especially;
and the work as a whole... Mother Teresa's simple prayer has been brought to musical life superbly.
May I hope this finds performance, as it richly deserves
to be heard."

"Extremely impactful writing, as this gets roaring
along, amidships.
I liked the rendering in this, as well; a very "live"
(buoyant) sound treatment; but never heavy-
handed, very high clarity and good brilliance."

"Very nicely executed, Sean. The prelude is quite lovely in its
thoughtful simplicity of motion at the outset, then leading
to strength and complexity as it progresses.... interesting, un-
expected, and very effective.
And the subsequent up-tempo Aria with those delicious brass lines founding the backbone of
it -- very well done."

A little piece of heaven!!!"

And -- quite a lovely composition as well, with some
meat and substance to it.
I would think harp players would
take real interest in this; and I would ask you to give serious
consideration to getting the score to this ready, out there,
and available."

and I know that Gagliano -- you have gotten absolutely
incredible mileage out of it in this!
Quite an able job in the writing, as well; this songbird has

"I have always steered clear of pieces with solo violin due to the fact that I could never get a decent render with the GPO solo violins.
You have shown convincingly that it can be done.
What a marvelous render. I liked the way that the Piano and the Violin interacted."

"Hi Sean,
I have just enjoyed listening to your Demo CD. What a wealth of musical sounds, melodies, textures, unusual approaches and moods there are in it. You certainly are talented.
I had posted earlier with my opinion that it was virtually impossible to enter the professional Classical Music scene unaided, and in this day and age without the right “bits of paper”.
In view of your contribution and statement of self taught learning and performance, I am forced, as they would say, to “eat my hat”.

Best wishes in your composing and performance endeavours."

"Wonderful musically journey. It remained interesting right the way through and the new elements you brought in from time to time (such as the choir) were a welcome addition.
Certainly got images of an old man on some kind of mountain pilgrimage.

Very well done, and the rendering was nice and understated."

P.

"It's an exciting piece, certainly shows off your command of using Garritan instruments - and of your composing craft.
It's pretty relentless in its aural portrayal of Panic, I think my blood pressure rose as I listened, - but I think that means you succeeded!"

"This is a very well thought through piece of solo music. Well built and designed for a rich instrument such as the cello. It's the string instrument closest to the human voice.
You did a terrific job here, composing and rendering! A welcome addition to the valuable library of good cello literature."

I think the cello player would be soaking his hand in water after this. I really enjoyed your piece. Thanks for posting this."

"Have to chime in with everyone else here. This is really REALLY good composition and rendering.
You take the cello through its paces here. Really exploit the registers of the cello and make each one so vivid and authentic sounding.
Did you use EQ in the various registers too achieve such realism?

At any rate great job. Thanks for the post."

Organ sounds like a cathedral organ...the registers..can almost hear the organist's shoes tapping the pedals...
lofty, inspirational...gentle...reflective...and quite dynamic at times...wanders the gamut of expression. Enjoyed the soaring choral "Amen" at 7m+ and the organ conclusion.....exquisite !!"

I' ll quote yourself:
"Anyone who has ever heard the sound of a pipe organ with all stops pulled in a cathedral knows there is nothing like it on Earth! The all-mighty power of the sound is incredible.

"We should praise ourselves happy that you had such a nice, beloved dog. The extended posthumous ode you have written is truly a masterpiece, played on a unbelievably clean piano.
I assume you played it in live? Otherwise, the programming of the arpeggios, accents, dynamics, rubatos... must have been a hell of a job.
The performance is so human and real, touching and at times breathtaking that it constantly invites to go on listening.
That's the definition of great music.
Within 15 minutes, you went through almost every period in western music history, including all the benchmarks of every period.
From early baroque textures, rococo ornaments, classical chord progressions, romantic emotive clusters and frolicking runs, playful octaves, up to 20th century stacked chords. Really wonderful and amazing.

Many congratulations and thanks for sharing!"

The whole song is built so eloquently and in a lively conversation with the piano that it kept me listening attentively until the final note.
Such choir pieces are rare these days (I mean accessible for an average amateur choir) and still with a very deep and musical content of high level.
I'm so glad you shared this piece with us. Real music lovers can't but appreciate it and hope for more!"

"Quite quite lovely.. I liked how the clarinet played a straight melody, let the guitar arpegiate. then guitar arpeggiate became less busy, and clarinet started some arpegiation carefully weaved into the piece.
Great dialog between the two instruments.. By shifting the focus, you kept interest in the piece high.. Very tasteful.

With all the different techniques, you could sustain a 16 minute piece very well.. masterful!"

"I'm so glad you posted a new piece here and what a lovely composition. It's hard to interpret the exact content, the meaning or story behind the music,
but your clarification about you and your beloved father is already a fine help. Of course this is no program music, but still the music speaks so clearly of a deep relationship between father and son,
from birth till... with all the episodes in between. You realised it masterfully with a good knowledge of both instruments.

The guitar is really exquisite and so natural, with very 'guitaristic' playing techniques.
The clarinet seems a little 'prudent' (deliberately?)
The duet and the interweaving of the themes is absolutely stunning, from the hands and fantasy of a great master.
Even the length of the piece doesn't bother at all, since it's very well written and with more than enough variation and contrast to keep the listener attracted.

Many congrats!"

There is such an obvious passion and enthusiasm to your music! And it is no coincidence that the word enthusiasm comes from the Latin phrase "en theos", which means "God within".

Building up drama around the 5 min mark and i love the tension the tinkling chords produce (sorry i dont know the technical term). Feels almost improvisational at times (but it probably isn't).
Such intricacy in the playing - a musician at one with his instrument it seems to me. Lovely melodies forming around the dramatic structure.
Beautifully written and executed - technically perfect to my ears. What a wonderful talent you are Sean."

"I like what I call part 2 (after about 2min20) and how it builds into those flowing parts thru some odd little runs that appear more like jazz than anything else I know of.
Well done on pricking me ears up on that and ending on those diminshed arpeggios at about 4min30.
Hey still doing the diminshed thing 30 seconds later and this beginning to sound like one of those early cinema accompaniers on piano but then the "dark humour"
becomes "very dark" with an unimaginable speed of playing that makes the instrument sound like nothing I've ever heard before (in a good way of course). At 7min30 now.
Oh, the lightness at 8min33 reminds me of Rick Wakeman - major to minor and a few nice suspended 2nds/4ths popping up (to my chord decoding ears). I think this section is probably my favourite area now -
the way you advance thru the chords/keys is extremely good. Post 11mins and I'm getting a feel of another build coming along but it kind of pleasantly plateaus, fades and then restarts.
If you haven't guessed it I don't know the proper terms for hardly any of this so bear this in mind. I sense a finale with the high twinkling notes on E and A and we're done with the final Amaj.
Thumzup dude, awesome piece."

This method of composition is a skill lacking in nearly all modern music. A lost art maybe?. The ability to develop a theme and take the time required to do it.
The sequence from 8:41 is remarkable and again from 11:27 - 12:00. The piece never loses it's way, and the flow is captivating. And those trills at 13:45 would guarantee cramps in any pianist :)

And your accuracy in the use of the instruments is simply remarkable. The whole piece is so light and poised. I am transported back 150 yrs to a concert hall where we listen with hushed tones.

"It is always an enjoyable listen whenever you post a composition, choral, solo instrument, small ensemble , or a fully developed orchestral piece.
Thanks for uploading another big-sounding piece...timps always a look-for, but the gentle melody carried by bowed strings in the opening of the score, some delicate pizz in the lower register, then the brass rising.
It is the ebb and flow that intrigues the listener...2:40..gentle woodwind lines sharing and passing along melodic phrases...
then a darker larger brass and timp entrance...quite majestic...nice tremolo on the flute (4:10)...crescendos, decrescendos...all used to tell the tale of the festivities."

"Hi Sean. Well, this is a very interesting composition. Firstly I have to confess to not being a great fan of atonal music and the works of Schoenberg and his 12-tone nonsense does little for me;
all those tone-row restrictions! Sort of composing by numbers LOL. However, I can appreciate good work when I hear it and this unrestricted piece aptly titled kept my attention throughout.
Excellently played and produced with beautifully executed figures/phrases. I like the way the piece is in a fugal style without the normal constraints of the classical/baroque structure;
(could I get a view of the score for this piece please) I could go on but time is against me. To conclude quickly, an excellent composition; well done."
