This is my new song titled "The glitter of the cove". It is a pop ballad and I categorized it to the ambient genre. My last post "Sincerely Yours (Classical Version)" was made on June 29, so it took me about two months to complete it. The point I cared about most was its arrangement, and the most time-consuming part for me was the choice of the instruments. As usual, the title of the song came from my wife as she has much better artistic sensibility than me.

I hope you like it.

Great job on this, HiroshiK! I really enjoyed the atmospheric feeling this one gives off. It's really easy to get lost in (which is a good thing!) - thanks so much for sharing smile

Do we like it? Well actually, we love it!
The chord progression turns unexpected ways and the melody enhances that even more.
This is one of your best we think!

Really fabulous piece of music Hiroshi, thoroughly enjoyed the tune and the arrangement.
It needs to be recorded by the likes of James Galway or Andre Rieu.

Hello Hiroshik.
Thank you for the back story on this pretty tune.
One thing with Band in a Box when choosing instruments you are spoiled for choice. Love to hear lyrics put to this.
Nicely done.

Push it enough and it could happen, I've had one of my tunes recorded by four different artists and another 3 tunes by others so there is a market for good tunes. Good luck with it

try ditching the drums and maybe dropping the tempo a few points, see what it sounds like ? It really is a gorgeous ballad. Could you pm me the dots for it and I'll maybe do a version if that's ok ?

Hello Rob,

Thank you for your comment. In my case, I am using Sonar X3 for the tuning work including instruments selection.

Unfortunately, I do not have any talent to write lyrics. It would be great if I someone could put lyrics to the song.

Thank you for your suggestion and encouragement. As a matter of fact, I had sought for the chance to license of my early works mainly through some licensing companies but had no success so far. I have not given it up, but suspended it for some time. Now I think I should resume it.
