Free Piano Vocal Sheet Music Download: Wedding Song for Mother and Son

Free Piano Vocal Sheet Music Download: Wedding Song for Mother and Son

I was originally commissioned to complete this wedding song for the Pray for Gray leukemia fund, which fundraised with a private auction to help a close friend's family as their young son struggles through leukemia. 


(If you would like to find out more about Gray, please click on the box to the right to go to the Pray for Gray Facebook page). 

 The work is simple, beautiful, and meant to be written from the point of view of a mother to her son on his wedding day. The lyrics of the chorus repeat in a lilting waltz:

 Standing here  on your wedding day
From a boy to a man, my baby
Holding your dreams and hopes so close
And your wife, closer still
As the clock ticks time away
As the clock ticks time away
The words have been changed slightly from the original version. 

 I hope that you enjoy this composition. Feel free to play and perform the work, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions about its performance or commissioning your own original wedding song.

Percussion 101: How to Play Hand Crash Cymbols

Young Girl Plays Cymbals The hand cymbals (or crash cymbals ) are extremely versatile percussion instruments . The hand cymbals are used in the military, drum and bugle corps , the orchestra, and wind ensembles. Proper percussion hand cymbal technique takes many years of practice and hard work, as well as stamina and upper body strength. The most common use of the hand cymbals is in the drum line, whether in a high school band or a professional drum and bugle corps. Two cymbals are held by straps to the cymbal player's hands. In marching band and drum and bugle corps, the cymbal player often will loop their own hand in the strap, then grab the strap.  Protect Your Hands Tape, strap pads, and gloves are often used to protect the cymbal player's hands from blisters and the slow grinding away of skin during a lengthy band show. In the orchestra setting, where the crash cymbal is often reserved for music accents and shorter music passages, the percussion player does...

Machinima Magic using Moviestorm, Final Cut, and Photoshop

For those who have been wondering about the hiatus here at the New Music Resource, wonder no more! The past six months I have been working on a sci-fi machinima musical Libertaria: The Virtual Opera . Created almost entirely in the machinima software platform Moviestorm and scored with a catchy combo of electronic music, film scores, and dramatic vocals, Libertaria has been an incredible collaborative project. Moviestorm has been an excellent and inexpensive way to create an entire epic sci-fi tale for a minimal amount of resources. Almost three years ago I started using Moviestorm for a variety of video projects, and then decided to make an entire feature length musical using only machinima. The project proved challenging, involved a couple of dozen singers, animators, and other artistic professionals volunteering their talent and resources to create an incredible feature. W atch a the lo-res version of  the song Pilar of the Underground from Libertaria: The Virtual Opera : ...
