Contemplation No.5

This original piano piece has very simple chords and melody, with the goal to create a soft, intimate and peaceful mood.  Yet also with some underlying uplifting feeling and emotion.  Simple, with 'stirring' quality if you know what I mean.  Hope I achieved that.  Let me know.

2019:
This is an improvisation I made in 2019, recording live into my DAW without following the DAW metronome.  So I had it in midi but without keeping measures to a beat.  I couldn't record to a metronome anyway because there is much intentional rubato in this piece.   

2026:
Now I wanted to use a better piano sound and that was easy- just play the midi with a good piano vst.  However what was not easy is creating the score!  Which requires quantized notes.  So I had a lot of work remaking every measure to have midi notes quantized, not for playing, but for the score.  

The piano you hear is playing the original midi file I improvised in 2019 with UVI Model D vst in my DAW.  The score you see is the midi quantized, and wasn't used to play the piano.
