Harp Level: 99

[His Lordship]

This is a harp piece I wrote when I was studying my undergraduate music degree.
"Once Upon a Winter's Wake" is so challenging that no performer would touch it for five years...
Until it fell into the hands of the masterful Anna Quiroga.
I am very proud of this composition, and her beautiful performance. I've waited a long time for this to see the light of day.

Once Upon A Winter's Wake - Eugene Marshall [2008]

The piece celebrates the positive qualities of winter, a season we normally associate with gloom and cold.
The freshness of the air, the crispness of the sunlight... things we often forget.

Sounds like really elaborate Runescape music, not a diss. It sounds really good :)!

That description is like, spot on.

OOO So beautiful. I can see icicles dripping with the sun making them all bright & shinny.  The whisper of the wind sliding snow all around a frozen lake when there is a perfect freeze and the surface is like glass. Then the sounds of expansion cracks as the frozen waters release their magic.

It is beautiful.

Sorry I can't come into IRC.
Internet is being weird.
Thanks for the compliments guys :)
Poor Anna is ready to throw knives at me.
To me it didn't seem that difficult, but apparently I'm the harp-devil.

I'm not going to put in [IMG] tags since you couldn't see the image in full detail, but the song would be great with this picture. (I KNOW IT'S SKYRIM GTFO)

Kyle I *am* actually looking for an album cover, but I think that Skyrim might pose some copyright issues :/
Real shame, because it would work perfectly.

I like the music you composed when you were younger.
This is a prime example.

Yeah my music has become less and less accessible and it pisses me off that I'm losing touch with normal audiences.

I saw this on my YouTube Feed, and there weren't any comments on there at the time. So I assumed if get them from the WG website ^^

I've wanted to learn to play the harp for years. If only harps were even slightly affordable.

Wow, Eugene! As you know I'm a big fan of all your music and this is a very beautiful piece! Please keep posting new music whenever you can, I love hearing them!

I love winter, its such a quiet, grey time when the earth sleeps, dreaming of spring.

Then there are times like today it took me six hours to get home during a winter snowstorm and
I find it less than lovely.

I completely agree with the snowstorm thing, and this year it just doesn't want to stop snowing.
