Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) So sorry that this track was stuck in my Bandcamp wishlist for more than a month. It didn't deserve this fate, because "Silence Of The Moonlight" is a superb composition, and actually became one of my favorites now, besides "Life... As Is...". Structurally, it's got something of a post-mininimalist approach, and it exposes exciting layered chord textures with violins and various perfectly matching synth voices, creating a wonderfully lush sound. Do you see a full moon above a nightly lake? I do.

about

New piano and orchestra work for #PianoDay2020…Different from my norm, this work is fantastical, whimsical, and uses granular synthesis as well as tuned percussion, harp, and guitar. String flautando and harmonics create the sotte voce effect. Dedicated to my childhood friend Lisa who has terminal cancer.

Darkness whispers ‘Sweet Dreams’
in the Silence of the night...
All I hear is my heart quivering
from the bleakness of my plight...

And suddenly the quiet calmness
lulls me back to sleep...
My heavy heart and troubles lift
My Solitude is mine to keep...

And though the maddening thoughts
Suddenly come in quite a rush...
I push them out of my mind
Close my eyes and whisper ‘Hush’...

The storm clouds slowly lift
And heavenly skies become so blue...
My Prayers have been answered
In starlight Dreams forever true...
