A cordial greeting to all the participants of this beautiful Open Mic community. In this week #277, we explore the theme: “Summer Love.” I am pleased to share my trumpet performance of “A Summer Place,” a waltz composed by Max Steiner for the 1959 film of the same name. This piece was originally titled “Molly and Johnny Theme” and is arranged predominantly for strings such as the violin, viola, cellos, and double basses. Playing it on the trumpet is truly innovative, and I enjoy performing it. I should inform you that at one point, I ran out of breath, and I took breaths where I had none. The melody is lyrical, fluid, and pendulous. The key in which the performer is located is C Major with a slight key change to D Major. The tempo is moderate with a ¾ bar indicator in its original version. The sheet music I found was in 6/8. It is a typical song of the Easy Listening style of the time.

There are fleeting loves, and when you love, you must do so with intensity and passion. Many things have an expiration date, either because the world changes, or because we do too. I hold in my mind the memories of summer loves, those from school, high school, vacations, and college. Some faded in time, and I even thought at one point that I'd never love someone the same way again. I met a beautiful and intelligent woman at university, and as soon as we graduated, we lost touch, forgetting about each other, or at least I think so, or perhaps both. It was one of those times when one lived carefree in long conversations about life, dreams, history, and geography. We left those memories to the nostalgia of the past. Today, my beliefs have evolved in this regard; for me, developing commitment and a deeper and more lasting connection is a priority. Many blessings to all, enjoy my performance.
