Thank you Thomas. The choir was truly wonderful! Good times!

Hienoa! Onnittelut!

Wonderful!

I originally wrote this for Spark! - The Classical Band. You can find this piece on their lovely Folk Tunes -album. Only the recorders have been changed to flute and clarinet.

Thank you! The strings are written so that all the players have their own parts/lines to play. Meaning that the 1st violins have 14 individual lines, 2nd violins 12 and so on. Took me some tinkering.. Oh, I heard that Uematsu considers Waterside his favourite of his own works too. Lovely piece!

I had the idea of water washing away the chords from the bottom up. This happens in the halfway of the piece. After the melody is left bare, it gets dropped ”under water”. In the end the melody emerges again as a solo violin, but this time softer, reminiscent and purified.

Absolutely. Out of all options, this really feels like the best place (by far) to be imho. So happy to see people joining.

Thank you Thomas! You beat me to it. You did forgot one name though - yourself - as the producer who made (and still makes) the Symphonic-series happen!

Thank you Michael!
