Mr.Richard Stoker : Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music - Associate of the Royal College of Music LONDON - UK (Composer, Conductor, Actor, Author, Artist)
Mr.Richard Stoker’s story on this composition :
"This was composed for Mr.FluteFreedom for his new film on waves. The music is inspired by the feelings I get contemplating the beauty of the sea shores, sands, waves and tides throughout the world. It is inspired also by the beauty of the high-pitched woodwind instruments such as flutes, recorders and Indian flutes. An essential stimulus is Mr.FluteFreedom’s rich talent on the beautiful instrument."
History of the Song :
Based on the success of the “Monody of waterfalls, Whisper of waves“ video, as I was chatting with Mr.Richard, saying what if someone finds the melody interesting and writes lyrics to it, to make the melody famous, Mr.Richard immediately wrote the lyrics and sent them to me. He called it “Sing and Speak to me“. I waited nearly two years, hoping to find a female singer who could sing the melody, then finally I had to sing it myself, and also re-christened it “Without you with me”. You can now hear & see the results.
Lyrics :
'What's the good of seas and sand
if you are never there to speak to me -- to me - and sing and speak to me and sing to and [walk/stroll/wander] tramp on the Sands ...
Won't you come with me, come to the sea?
What's the good of sea and song and sand, WITHOUT YOU WITH ME?
Thanks for watching

R Stoker Indo Blues ( Original ) Hello,
Greetings,
“R Stoker Indo Blues ” ( Original ),
Composed by : Richard Stoker – UK
Guitar & Percussion : Francesco Mega – Italy
Bansuri & Video : Vinod MOOGI – India
STORY: The " R STOKER INDO BLUES" was filmed as a tribute to the English composer & Actor by Vinod Moogi, in January 2016 and recorded in different places .... it is part of the West meets East set of films they are both working on together... The Blues is not that well known in India, so it was a good occasion for Vinod Moogi to interpret a Blues style on his instrument with his colleagues. The freedom of the Blues is very close to the free interpretation of Indian Music in general.
I further improvised & beat boxed to make it sound different.

Lyrics & Story behind the Song :
" WILL YOU EVER LOVE ME” (Original)
(VERSES) " YOU SEE ME - YOU HEAR ME -
ARE YOU EVER NEAR ME ? I SEE YOU - I HEAR YOU - DO YOU EVER NEED ME ?
WHERE ARE YOU NOW IN THE DIMMING LIGHT ? YOU SEE ME - YOU HEAR ME - WILL YOU EVER NEED ME ? I SEE YOU - YOU HEAR ME - WHERE ARE YOU NOW IN THE DIMMING LIGHT ? YOU SEE ME - YOU HEAR ME - WHY ARE YOU NOT NEAR ME ? I HEAR YOU - I SEE YOU - WILL YOU EVER LOVE ME ? "
Richard Stoker has composed 6 flute melodies for me which I have played and created videos. The first creation was “Monody of Waterfalls” (Original), which grew out of a conversation we had one day. I said, what if somebody likes this melody and writes lyrics to it? He liked this idea, and he immediately wrote some Romantic lyrics himself, inspired by views of Indian seascapes. He suggested I might find a female vocalist. I wanted to make this a unique blend of Western and Indian classical music, so I chose my friend Ms Somali Panda, who liked the melody and lyrics and was glad to do the project. She and her recording friends from Kolkatta have put their hearts into the song. I and Mr. Richard are very grateful to them.
So here we are with the outcome of our project.
Please enjoy the music with headphones and please share your comments.

Indo-Dutch collaboration of Bansuri & Piano
Piano : by Mr.Ernst Stolz of Hague Netherlands.
Graduated from Hoge school voor de Kunsten Utrecht
Started Working at Independent musician and music educator

Professional musician performing many live concerts He has 1700 videos
Bansuri & video : by Vinod MOOGI of India.
Special Thanks to my Guru Dr.Len Anderson, for his support.
Brief on the Song :
In the background you can hear chanting of Mantra “Om” so a short story on “Om” below
The moon. All planets round the sun. Each of the above bodies revolves round at its own axis as well. Our sun along with its family takes one round of the galactic center in 22.5 crore years. All galaxies including ours are moving away at a terrific velocity of 20,000 miles per second.
OM BHUR BHUVAH SWAH:
Bhur the earth, bhuvah the planets (solar family), swah the Galaxy. We observe that when an ordinary fan with a speed of 900 RPM (rotations Per minute) moves, it makes noise. Then, one can imagine, what great noise would be created when the galaxies move with a speed of 20,000 miles per second. This is what this portion of the mantra explains that the sound produced due to the fast-moving earth, planets and galaxies is Om. The sound was heard during meditation by Rishi Vishvamitra, who mentioned it to other colleagues. All of them, then unanimously decided to call this sound Om the name of God,
Pls. use head phones to enjoy good sound quality.

He is my Guru & Mentor.
Story of composition :Dr.Len, was giving me online tips, how to play blues, but he had no Idea what kind of flute I had, until I recorded each note on my Bansuri & sent him, that was not enough, finally I gifted him a Bansuri.
Only after receiving the Bansuri, he realised, that it was dia-tonic flute & not chromatic, like silver flute. He understood my limitations of playing blues with Die-tonic flute, then he composed this Blues melody & named it “ Moogi Blues” that was my blues. I wanted this blues to have psychedelic effects of Wood Stock, so I have played with those effects & used psychedelic images as background.

Unquote :
Sounds good....it's all personal taste...you have to be the ultimate one who is satisfied......and have fun......and don't let critics disway you.....like I have always said, the Bansuri is so very limited in the number and range of notes it can play....your desire to play western music using it is commendable.....what you produce is NOT the composition, but rather an interpretation of the piece....you are inspired by a composition and recreate a Bansuri rendition of the composition as you interpret it....absolutely nothing wrong with that....if some one ever says your Bansuri performance is NOT the composition, just say that you were inspired by the original composition and knowing the limitations of a Bansuri flute's construction, you try to create a sound that reflects the composer's intent.....no one can argue with that.....just have fun.....

Mr.Richard Stoker : Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music - Associate of the Royal College of Music LONDON - UK (Composer-Conductor /Actor / Author / Artist / etc.)
Mr.Richard Stoker’s story on this composition :
Richard Stoker's “Sonnet of Rainbows” was composed for Vinod Moogi. It is based on an earlier piece for flute solo. It is meant to communicate with the audience and viewers directly -- what IS music if it does not reach a wide and sympathetic audience with much "Love, Melody, Harmony and Joy". Vinod Moogi is that rare thing, a dedicated artist to his fingertips, able to interpret my wishes as a composer.
This recording is launching on 8 November 2014, Richard Stoker's 76th birthday -- all good wishes for a Very Happy Birthday and successful coming year!
Ms Donatella – Germany :
She discovered the celtic harp about 12 years ago and hasn't stopped playing since. She soon got in touch with the spiritual dimension of this instrument, and beside playing tunes, she also started exploring improvisation to "hear" its voice, which she says feels like letting the harp play her, instead of her playing it. She also explored meditative music the same way. She is a passionate musician.
After watching some of my videos, which she liked and found fascinating, especially “Monody of waterfalls”, she got in touch with me through a German friend of mine and expressed her interest in playing with me. Now you can see and hear the results.
Please enjoy the music with headphones and please share your comments, as they are most welcome.

Harmonium : played by Ms Veronica – Mexico, she was fascinated seeing my “ Slumbers of Gold” & other videos, then came out with the idea that I should do one famous Mexican song & she shared information on this song. I have not heard this song before. I decided to do it, provided she becomes a part of the song.
Ms.Veronica Minor, native of Mexico City, graduated as Musical Educator from “La Facultad de Bellas artes” in Queretaro, Mexico. As teacher, she has been working in several institutions promoting Culture and Arts.
She has participated as a flutist in several spaces of popular music, member of the Mexican Choral Group under the direction of Ramon Noble Oliveros.
Monochord : played by Ms Donatella Abate – Germany. It is a string instrument similar to Harp, but has a healing effect.
She is quite a passionate musician.
She was fascinated seeing some of my videos, especially “ Monody of water falls”, she got in touch with me through a German friend of mine and expressed her interest to play with me. We did “Whisper of waves” in which she has played the Harp, subsequently we performed live in Germany & this is the second video with me.
I sincerely thank Ms Veronica for having proposed & for having sent composition of this song & for having played Harmonium.
I thank my friend, Ms Donatella for having played Monochord for this video.
I thank my Guru, Dr.Len Anderson – U.S.A for support & encouragement.
I also thank my mentor & best critic, Mr.Jose Luis - Spain
History of “Besame Mucho” :
Just a little information about the composer of the song, Consuelo Velázquez:
"Her best known success : Besame Mucho , bolero composed when he was only 16, was the tune that brought more satisfaction Velázquez, and that became his calling card. This song was created before Consuelo received his first kiss . After being recorded by the Spanish-Mexican baritone Emilio Tuero in 1944 his first adaptation was made in English by the famous pianist and singer Nat " King" Cole (when the interpreter is not even thought about recording in Spanish language) . Hence hereafter was performed by hundreds of artists around the world such as Pedro Infante, Javier Solis , The Beatles , La Internacional Sonora Santanera , The Flamingos, Xavier Cugat and His Orchestra , The Ventures, Sammy Davis Jr., Antonio Machin , Lucho Gatica , Placido Domingo, Vera Lynn, Luis Mariano (who popularized it in France ), Sara Montiel, José Carreras, Ray Conniff and his Orchestra , Andrea Bocelli, Frank Sinatra, Luis Miguel , Diana Krall, Filippa Giordano, Zoe, Susana Zabaleta , Mónica Naranjo and others.
Besame Mucho is also known as Kiss Me Much , Kiss Me a Lot, Kiss Me Again and Again , and Stale Embrasse -Moi Ma Boskavaj . Translated into more than 20 languages , Song became an icon in popular music. His great success in the U.S. was the contextualization of the song to the women waiting for their husbands in World War II ."

History of the song :
This song was based on a 17th century poem by Thomas Dekker:
Golden slumbers kiss your eyes,
Smiles awake you when you rise;
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby,
Rock them, rock them, lullaby.
Care is heavy, therefore sleep you,
You are care, and care must keep you ;
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby,
Rock them, rock them, lullaby.
How The Beatles Recorded it :
Paul McCartney, saw the song "Golden Slumbers" in his step sisters songbook and, unable to read music, made up his own lyrics,using most of the original lyrics.
According to Mark Lewisohn's The Beatles Recording Sessions, McCartney recorded this song on July 2, 1969, a day after Lennon suffered injuries from a car accident in Scotland that left him in a hospital until July 6th. So Lennon did not perform in this song. George Harrison played bass guitar as Paul was playing piano.
Pls. use head phones to enjoy the music.
After watching the video, I am sure you shall envy all those character’s in the video who are having “Slumbers of Gold”.
Love & Peace
