Love Theme from Titanic by James Horner.

“Love Theme from Titanic” by James Horner.

Note: I had to redo the video to pass YT copywrite; even though it’s not monetized.
I actually thought this circumstance of use was “fair use”, using a small amount- although it did lend more a “borrowed” creative skill to the video. {Might be called cheating , but not video plagiarism}. Anyway, I redid the video …the last one passed (I think) it is here below .

I had some fun with the video aspect of this and I’m satisfied, [ but not perfectly] with this easy version.
I also added flute music to the to the Irish chant at the beginning of the video clip .
I used a “midi” piccolo; but played it on a piano along with her voice in the movie (that didn’t quite match in parts – then ported it through a midi instrument vst.
So, hmmmm- mistakes……. Hope you like the novelty .
Watch the video if you can because it has the chant along with added clips from the movie. I used Shotcut which is freeware for the video.

Also uploaded the score to muse score if you ‘d like to play this beginner version. [Haven’t been able to do this]

Chopin Prelude Op. 28 No 20 in C minor

From Wiki
“Often called the “Chord” prelude. Brief, with large slow quarter-note chords in the right hand predominating,
against quarter-note octaves in the left. It was originally
written in two sections of four measures, although Chopin later
added a repeat of the last four measures at a softer level, with
an expressive swell before the final cadence.”

Praeambulum No 3 in d min -Heinrich Scheidemann
and
Deep River.

Piano Strings

Piano Only/Church Organ

Easily said , there are two renditions of the same recording from two recording methods.
It was recorded on a PX 100 by direct av cable to computer to WMM and from a Vivitar pc cam. (Laptop)
– “What I know” about the two pieces is minimal:
– Deep River was in a Lesson Book from USSM as Folk music , and a pre- Civil War Spiritual;
-the Praeambulum No. 3 by Scheidemann is pre “tonal “or a predecessor to Tonal centered music made more popular by J.S. Bach.
The counterpoint is evident in this piece which also was furthered by early composers of classical tonal music composition
I used the recorded midi data in this same session to also to make the church organ sound from a Yamaha XG soft synth- bank 0 #19 in the second video.

Hope you like it!
And …Thanks for listening.
