Hello, again, 'HiroshiK'... Your description of your song was absolutely, perfectly clear  !!! What's more obvious to me is that I did not pay correct attention to what I read, and therefore missed the opportunity to listen to the album version, which I will do. Actually, when I wrote that I closed my eyes to listen to the darkly lovely chord that was played at the 3:00 mark, it was to allow me to absorb the sound and feeling of it, not to visualize scenes, though it would have been quite easy to do so, because your music was so emotive and musically colorful . I will be glad to 'get back to you' after I listen to the album version of Far Beyond the Clouds. Sincerely, LOREN Hello Loren, Thank you for your kind reply. It is really valuable for me to have a chance to hear the listeners' imagery or feelings they had while listening to my songs. I am looking forward to your next feedback. Best regards, Hiroshi

Hi Hiroshi ...
I always smile when I notice you have posted a new song. You are one of my very favorite composers. The depth and color of your compositions give the listener a soft, full, and pleasing experience. The listener can almost become part of the musical ride. This is simply gorgeous ... one of my very favorites from the many you have posted here!
Wishing you the very best ...
Alan Hi Alan, Thank you for your very kind comment. It is a great joy and honor to me to have such a pleasant message from you. I hope I will be able to continue creating the musical works that you like so much. Thank you again. Hiroshi

You are a wonderful composer and this is a
wonderful composition. We produce very
simple music and are always amazed at the
complexity and the time and thought it takes
to produce a song like this.
It is sublime!

J&B Hi J&B, Thank you for your kind comment. It is a great joy and honor to have it from the leading musicians like you. I think the songs with nice vocals well match simpler melodies and accompaniments because they support the vocals firmly and never spoil them. In my album "Sincerely Yours", there are two songs with vocals; Visiting Beautiful Kyoto and First Love. Both of them has much simpler melodies and accompaniments compared with the other instrumental songs. Hiroshi

I will be glad to 'get back to you' after I listen to the album version of Far Beyond the Clouds.
Sincerely,
LOREN Hello, again, 'HiroshiK'... Ahhh, yes! To begin, I could hear a difference in the quality of the recording. I felt the 'soundfield' was wider, and the instrumental sections more clarified and distinct, more closely approximating the sound of a 'live' orchestra. The second thing I noticed, was your rueful, wintry melody, particularly when it was performed on the flute and the oboe. You achieved a wistful, achingly soulful sound in your performances on those instruments. It very much reminded me of the work of the late, French composer of film scores and concert music, George Delerue. Are you familiar with him? He composed notable film scores for movies such as The Day of the Dolphin, The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne, Shoot the Piano Player, Jules & Jim, The Pumpkin Eater, and many, many more. Concerning Far Beyond the Clouds, you seem to share Mr. Delerue's affinity for composing music with a baroque, or mediveal flavor. Regardless of the similarities in instrumentation and compositional style, Far Beyond the Clouds retains it tone poem quality with a strongly emotive and memorable theme, accompanied by your spare, autumnal writing for strings and guitar. Most sincerely & respectfully, LOREN P.S. 'HiroshiK', would you mind informing me what all of the instruments were that you used in the composition?

Hello again, LOREN, Thank you for listening to the album version and getting back to me with the renewed and more in-depth comment. I am very glad (and relieved) to know you like the album version as well.
Hello, again, 'HiroshiK'...
Ahhh, yes! To begin, I could hear a difference in the quality of the recording. I felt the 'soundfield' was wider, and the instrumental sections more clarified and distinct, more closely approximating the sound of a 'live' orchestra.
I am impressed by your comment here. It beautifully expresses the effects I aimed at.
The second thing I am noticed, was your rueful, wintry melody, particularly when it was performed on the flute and the oboe. You achieved a wistful, achingly soulful sound in your performances on those instruments.
This paragraph is a kind of highlight to me. You kindly spotlighted the melodies of my song and analyzed them very well from the listeners' emotional point of view. It was very informative to me but, at the same time, it was a sort of shock to me. I will try to explain what I mean here. I love the classical music, and Mozart is my most favorite composer. He created a number of sorrowful works of course. My belief is that in those works, the sorrow never becomes serious nor it goes deeper. It just run through swiftly. I understand Henri Gheon called it "tristesse allante" (about String Quintet No.4 G minor K.516 - 1st Movement). I am hoping that the sorrow in my works to be like this.
It very much reminded me of the work of the late, French composer of film scores and concert music, George Delerue. Are you familiar with him? He composed notable film scores for movies such as The Day of the Dolphin, The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne, Shoot the Piano Player, Jules & Jim, The Pumpkin Eater, and many, many more.
No, I am not familiar with George Delerue. I am writing this reply while playing his music. As soon as my speakers had started to play "Camille", I could understand what you meant. Thank you for introducing me to his wonderful world.
Concerning Far Beyond the Clouds, you seem to share Mr. Delerue's affinity for composing music with a baroque, or mediveal flavor.
Yes, I think so too.
Regardless of the similarities in instrumentation and compositional style, Far Beyond the Clouds retains it tone poem quality with a strongly emotive and memorable theme, accompanied by your spare, autumnal writing for strings and guitar.
Thank you for saying this. I am very glad and greatly honored.
Most sincerely & respectfully,
LOREN
P.S. 'HiroshiK', would you mind informing me what all of the instruments were that you used in the composition?
No, I do not. I will list them up. DX Tines: Backing for the flute, oboe and strings parts Twelve String Guitar (with pad): Backing for the strings part RGC Flute In The Venue: for the flute itself RGC Clarinet In The Venue: for the clarinet itself Velo Strings: for the strings itself FG Bright Tip: for the harmony in the strings part Basses Legato: for the bass throughout Cellos Legato f: ditto Violas Legato f: ditto With many thanks and respect, Hiroshi
