Hi overlord65,

Yes, I get to read all the comments and am most grateful to all who bother to listen to my playing.

Thanks to you all, Paul.

Do you mind giving advice and it what key does far away fit in..?? Where and how could I find your Musical Sheet???

[paulban]

Hi, The original key was D major but it was pitched in this key to suit the treble voices of Libera who recorded it for a Japanese TV drama on the NHK channel. The music was composed by Takatsugu Muramatsu with words by Libera's musical director, Robeert Prizeman.

I'm not aware of any published music score for the piece. As I have said in previous replies, all my playing is done "by ear" by listening to the recordings and interpreting them in my own style.

Best Wishes,

Paul.

I am awe! You're so talented. This is a very beautiful song, and your rendition of it leaves me rather bereft of words of praise fitting enough to even make an attempt to say how much I enjoyed it. Good show. Keep up the good work!

Thank you Joe for your kind comment. A great deal of the credit must go to the magnificent Technics GN9 organ, sadly, no longer made.

Dear Paul,

I wanted to tell you how truly beautiful this was! I am an organist myself and can fully appreciate your craft and sensitive artistry. You play beautifully...and with deep emotion and empathy. It touches my inner soul each and every time I play it. May God continue to bless you and all those fortunate enough to hear you.

Wow..........I am a huge Libera fan and I just LOVE your arrangement and performance here. The sounds you selected for each verse were lovely. Thank you for making my day. I kept playing this over and over throughout my house.
