Hi All.
 
My beloved mother passed away last October.  She was 84 years young.  I was the youngest of her 4 children.  She always had my back and was always was there for me when I needed advise or shoulder to cry on.
 
This tune is the best I can give her for a memorial.  Please excuse the shortcomings of the MIDI "authenticity" of the sounds.  I threw quite a bit into this instrumental: Piano, ensemble and solo strings, clarinets & flutes and a soprano sax, Dizi (Chinese) flute and Pan flute (she was a Zamfir fan).  I call it "Lighthouse" because that's what she was to me.  I love her and miss her.

Thanks!

A gentle and moving piece, John.  A beautiful tribute to your mother.

Evoked emotions in me about my mother who passed a few years back.

Lovely piece, John

Nice piece John, written with thought and emotion.

I enjoyed it, well done John. Bet your mum would have too. I lost my mum earlier this year at 95 and wrote her a tribute song with lyrics. I found that therapeutic and I hope you did with your piece.

Very nice John.

Very pretty piece John. I'm sure your Mom would have loved it.
 
Regards,

A nice tribute to your MOM.  I have tried to write music for my parents but just cant seem to pull the trigger.  Don't know why.

Very nice, John.   I think the emotion does come across very well.   I also liked the lead woodwinds. 
 
I imagine I'll be doing something similar in the not too distant future (she's turning 90) so this is good.
