Topic: Water Lillies ..A nod to Monet

Hi All
No Vocals for this one just an instrumental.
The boring bit..
I based it on a classical piece just can't think of the composer or title so annoying (to me that is)
It's very laid back and restful and has a sorta impressionist feel about it hence the Monet masterpiece "Water Lillies" conection.
See what you think......
Thanks for reading/listening

Re: Water Lillies ..A nod to Monet

Hi Ark,

A very beautiful piece, soothing and relaxing. I could easily imagine this being used in a film between spoken parts and where some not too rapid travelling across land or water is involved.

Lovely!  Very much enjoyed listening.

Arkady, are you familiar with The Paul Winter Consort or Oregon?  Both of these groups do delicious instrumental compositions - really fine musicians.

These guys were doing 'world music' and 'ambiant music' before those names were invented . . .
