A very nice piece...we don't get a lot of 3/4 tunes on the forum...I like the modulation...very pleasant to the ear!

Very nice! I like that your chord progression weren't predictable, yet were satisfying to the ear.

Not predictable changes but very James D nevertheless.
I'd like a slightly less thudding a static bass though.
Nice.


Cheers

I've heard of a march for peace, which always seemed an oxymoron because marching connotes too much aggression. But now a waltz for peace is a much better visual. Soldiers ready for battle and all of a sudden a waltz is heard over the battlefield, and they start dancing together.

Very cool progression, which I always enjoy in your music, James. Good band, and well directed. The modulation when you changed keys reminded me that I miss your vocals in there. Oh, well, who can fight it when you are waltzing for peace. Thanks, James.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Thank you so much, Marty. So kind, as always. Yes, we could all do with more peace in our lives, I guess - and why not a waltz, for that? smile Thanks for listening and for such a wonderful comment!

I love the all around feel of this song, the piano really stands out, and it's nice to hear an instrumental every so often.
