        Hi all,

        Here is my composition for the October 2022 challenge… simply playing arpeggiated chords… I call this piece “Lacrimosa”

        In the image below, I show the chords that I used.

        Cheere,

        Rich F

                Nice touch in playing those notes Rich. You get really good sound and introduce a range of emotions in your playing. Very cool.

                Cheers, Tom

                  Nice chord choices. Has a classical “Moonlight Sonata” vibe.

                    Nicely played, Rich. I like how you title all your pieces. I looked up the title. “Lacrimosa is Latin for “weeping”. It is also a name that derives from Our Lady of Sorrows, a title given to Mary, mother of Jesus”. I’m sure this was recorded with a heavy heart, with your “Mum’ in mind. Blessings to you and your family.

                      So beautifully done and certainly exhibits melody from the soul!

                            Nice job Rich. Thanks for the jpg on chord progression. It is always interesting to see what others are using to come up with their composition. Cheers. Pap

                                Nicely played rich I can hear a very subtle “ sound of silence “ in your arrangement especially the first few bars .

                                  Lacrimosa sounds like a perfect title for the piece; nice arpeggio for the minor chords but I also apprecite the occasional use of the extended and major chords in the piece.

                                    Hi Rich, you’ve created a mellow piece with lots of feel here. Well done!
