can you hear that? no, what is it?
that, my friend, is the Heartbeat of the Universe.
pulsing quietly, ever-present, in a dance of atoms and molecules
inside stars, inside the mind, inside the stomach of a tiger
the pulse and beat of the cosmic creator, the arch mathematician
a symphonic patterning, overlay of rhythms, disparate tones
all working for a higher unity
moving through the densities, ascending to ever higher scales
it is a tune playing today, in joy, in resonance
it is here, it is now
the Cosmic Pulse.
scored for strings, organ, and harp

Not bad. Sounds a bit “Tweety” and somewhat muddied. I’m no musician so I can only relate my impression, rather than discuss in technical terms.

I think it’s quite lovely. I am not mad about oboes when the notes are in the higher octaves, but I LOVE cellos.
Some of my most favorite classical arrangements have been performed by a saxophone quartet. I think that some of these pieces you are composing would be simply magical if arranged for a sax quartet.

Great blog. I put a link to 100musicalfootsteps at multiuniversus. We have a little bit of Bach there, trying to force the trashy ears of the ordinary world. Thanks for visiting us. Namasté.

Please convert this piece into an orchestral masterpiece with real instruments. It’s too nice to leave it as a midi!
Molly
