Mother, A Word That Means The World To Me

It seems all theremins have a slightly different sound. I've heard some that sound like cat meowing, some that sound like spooky ghosts, some sound like a soprano or sopranino voice, and some, like this one, reminds me of a violin or viola, and cello in its lower register.

Yes, different theremin makes have different tonal charactors. Some even have multiple settins to select from.

I've considered doing a video which demonstrates these differences.

This was one of my father's favorite songs! Beautifully done - on such a unique instrument too!!

Thank you for the kind words. :)

Wonderful...i hope to sing this one..it was lovely to listen to...and we could all sing along and that even made it even more special.

Thanks. This is a cool one to sing. I've sung it with a barbershop chorus once. ;)

hey i had to sing this with the rest of the class for mothers day!!!

Wow, wonderful song, wonderfully played, and I really enjoyed it, but, if I may say so, maybe you should consider smiling every once in a while? I mean, the music is absolutely marvelous and you sound very professional, but you look kinda like a man awaiting a tax audit!

LOL, I am working on adding facial expression to my stage presense. but I'm legally blind, and never was very good at SP facial expressions. To make matters worse, the theremin is the one instrument which requires concentration for balance, arm, hand, and finger positions, listenning, breathing (yes, it affects intonation), and a host of other perameters. It's like multitasking on a grand scale, and for some reason smiling is, for the moment, the one task that distracts me. I'm working on it. ;)

Great job Thomas beautifully played.
