This piece feels as if you’re listening to a lively comic monologue right before your eyes.
Carried by a rhythmic performance, it conjures up scenes of a trip to the tropics, and just listening to it makes your heart dance.

While he isn’t the type known for powerful vocals, he has created many classic songs with his catchy musical style.
Among his tracks, one I particularly recommend is LORIOUS DAYS.
Despite its loud sound and uptempo feel, the vocal range is surprisingly narrow, and the melody line doesn’t fluctuate much in pitch, making it a song that’s relatively easy to score highly on throughout.

Completed in the autumn of 1873, it is striking for the bell-like sonorities—reminiscent of ballet music—that accent the tear-inducing, beautiful melody.
There is also an arrangement for cello and small orchestra, offering a different, deeper emotional resonance from the original.
A masterpiece perfect for a night of quietly dwelling in sorrow and conversing with your own heart.
