A woman is nagging her husband over and over again.
- I want a new floor in the kitchen! - I want the hallway painted! - I want this, I want that!
The husband gets more and more annoyed and one day he has had enough. He grabs the wife, ties her up, brings her to the railway track and ties her to the rails. We see the fast train approaching. We see the terrified eyes of the woman - who we all know deserves it. The train driver sees the woman and pushes the brakes all he can. Will the train stop in time? Well the music suggests that the train stops. But did it stop in time? Only the composer knows!
The piece starts with a quiet synth arpeggio and a sad melody played on a typical DX7 type bell synth. This is the sad nagging. A B piece follows on guitar-like string instrument. The husband is building up his rage and frustration and drags her to the rails. We move to the C piece where the song changes into full symphony orchestra introducing a pompous melody with drums. The train is approaching. The B peace is played by glockenspiel backed by the cellos and flute. We are in the locomotive looking forward. Now we reach the final where the C piece is played by the horns and the DX7 is back playing the sad A melody backed by full orchestra. It all comes to the climax. The train getting all too near, and the fear and anger all mixed up. And the train slows down. The music and the train stops....
Many hours of work and a fun mix of classical orchestra and modern synth instruments. 26 tracks.
PS: Yes, she is still alive. She even got a new kitchen.

Funny reading your description. I too had a new floor and the whole house inside painted. Wife is still alive as well. Bank account pretty much got killed though. I can hear the train coming. Nice mix and story telling.
Even when you want to describe a drama, your natural disposition for lightness and happy atmospheres prevails Kenneth. Maybe could have been darker :-)
Thierry - you are right. I had fun and was giggling when I made this music in 2018 and playing it for my sweet wife. I had just finished "Another Upbeat Song For Diane" and I thought it was time for a little fun. And she was talking about painting and having new vinyl on the floor in the kitchen. Years later we replaced the entire kitchen. And I love the food she is cooking in the new kitchen.
Nya a ahhhh! Went to twist my mustache as I listened. Then remembered I didn't have one. Glad no one was looking!
This is MAGNIFICENT!
Evocative, clear, huge... Words fail!
Instant fave Ken!
Ha ha! She lived to see another... kitchen. Lovely piece of music. Complex and integrated instrumentation creates the mood and scenes of your narration. Thanks!
You may not read music, and play with one hand... but there are skills here. Nice use of narrative music. The voice leading is very well done, and you've got some lovely minor keys melodies in there.
