about

Carmen's persona is pragmatic and cheerful, often playful, but in her piece I chose to reflect mostly on her caring nature. She was the nurse on tour, so she often took on a role of looking after people. As Manuka's mother, it makes sense that both their pieces are side-by-side on the piano keyboard - Manuka in B major, Carmen in B flat major. I've always perceived B flat as a warm and comforting key, so it was a natural choice.

lyrics

She helps, she heals
She waits, she feels
When tempers fray, when hope is lost or gone astray
When peace seems much too far away
She’ll brighten up your day
Curious, funny, logical and sure
Caring, kind, and a mother to all
Carmen, Carmen

Gawain Davey Melbourne, Australia

Music to appreciate and savour.
A slower, softer sound spectrum... quirky, thoughtful words... restless melodies on a lush bed of changing harmony...
Darkness and light mingle.
Gawain writes classical music and contemporary songs.
