Et Ego In Arcadia Vixi

[Tilly220]

Such a sense of peace and tranquility in this video. The piano is so lovely. Your garden looks such a nice place to be to unwind !

[EstebanChurches]

Thank you, Tilly220. I wish I had more time to practise. The garden shown here belongs to my parents. It sure is a peaceful haven!

[KrisShred]

Wonderful music! =)

[EstebanChurches]

Thank you, KrisShred. My Yamaha P140S digital piano is so beautiful, I could kiss it ;-)

[pianogirl98]

Beautiful music! Thanks for sharing with us!

[EstebanChurches]

Thank you, pianogirl98. If I play "modal chords" with my left hand, I find I have more room to explore major/minor melodies with my right one. Just discovered that. I'm happy to hear you liked it.

Thanks, Sven. I really enjoyed the music and the video. The best yet!

[EstebanChurches]

Thank you, piano6861. I tried a different left hand technique. Instead of 1(root)-3rd-5th, I played 1(root)-5th-1(octave higher). Heavy use of the sustain pedal, as well. Glad you enjoyed it.

I love that piano man! that is beautiful work.. And nice yard with a pool! im jealous

[EstebanChurches]

Thank you, jwomble81. I hope the new cable adapter I bought today will allow me to improve the sound quality in upcoming videos. Everybody in Madrid, Spain, should have a pool because summers are very hot.

[EstebanChurches]

Thank you, coolanddark. Taking care of a garden can be time consuming: mowing the lawn, cutting hedges and lots more. I'm thrilled to hear you added my video to your list of favorites.

I love dead vines. They're so artistically classy. :)

[EstebanChurches]

Branches without leaves can be elegant too. Come spring, my parents' backyard will blossom. "And I lived in Arcadia" (Et ego in Arcadia vixi) refers to how beautiful a country garden is.

[EstebanChurches]

Thank you, tps607. Like many of your videos, I thought a landscape would go well with the music.

[tps607]

Wow, that's really nice.

The music and the video as well.

[EstebanChurches]

Thank you, losthills. After listening to George Winston's "Autumn" CD several times, I knew I had to write a piece that reminded me of autumn too.
