My composition " Steal the Sun" recorded at George Martins Air Studios with Mr Tony Christie and the Band of the Royal Marines and Choir directed by Steve Sidwell.

I am very proud of this and it's possibly the best thing I've been involved with.

Nice Job Mike.... What a powerful project to be involved in.... Did you do the orchestration too?

Wow, that's beautiful stuff! I write a few blues tunes and call myself a writer -- I go home happily humbled! Congrats man, great work.

 

[Michael Ward]

Thankyou. No I didn't. It's so wonderful..the woodwinds are really beautifully played and written. I wrote the tune and lyric and I used a pianist/ arranger to help me get it down. I just presented it in song form. I hope to post the full version when it's made available to me.

Beautiful Michael. Well done. What a thrill to hear your music so beautifully played and in the context of a worthwhile cause.

TRUE MUSIC, TRUE ART, And a true player.

I bet you feel great. An honor to know you. This made my day!

Very nice music.Well done. You are justifiably proud, it's great having your music played by such a good band and choir.

 

[Michael Ward]

Thankyou for all the positive comments. I received the full mix from Air this morning. It is really something and for me..well I can't quite believe how beautiful the producers, orchestrators, arrangers , musicians and singers made it sound. All of these professionals worked for free and it is heart warming because with all the bad news we hear everyday the essential goodness of the vast majority of people really shines through.
