"Missing You" is the first omposition I adapted with Reason. <br /><br />I wrote the song when I was about 15, for piano. The harmony teacher I then took lessons from liked it very much and wanted to write it out for a harmony. But at the end of that year I had to move to another city and contact was broken off. The plans that had been made were never realized. <br />Yet I always kept on dreaming how my music would sound when played by an entire orchestra. <br />It was not until sixteen years later that I came across the computer program which is mentioned above and I could finally make my dream come true. <br /><br />In this first song you can clearly hear the influences of the music I listened to in my youth. Those influences were the music of the Beatles and Ennio Morricone. <br /><br />The rhythm of the snare drum seems a bit like in "Your Mother Should Know" by the Beatles. The first chords I use on the piano were inspired by the beginning of "Imagine" by John Lennon solo. With this difference that I play in minor, whereas John Lennon played in major. <br />That really gave it the melancholy atmosphere I was looking for. <br /><br />When you listen to the trumpet solo attentively you can surely hear the influences of my passion for the soundtrack music of Ennio Morricone. <br /><br />The instruments you hear is a female soprano, percussion, piano, strings, bass guitar, a hammond organ and of course the trumpets. <br /><br />Hope you like this song too,
