TEXT FROM THE FRONT COVER OF THE seasons DVD
Long ago in a land across the great waters, our ancient father had a dream.
In his dream the Great Spirit came to our father and carried him away on wings of fire.
The Spirit told our father he would lead him to a new land—
A place of bounty, a promised land—
For father had walked in truth and in light in all seasons.

So begins the legend.
It is the story of the seasons of a people:
Seasons of faith and prosperity, pride and war, forgiveness, and rebirth;
Seasons known to all people, in all nations, from the beginning of time.
We invite you to journey with us through this timeless legend.
It is our story.
It is your story.

UPDATE: I want to answer the questions about sheet music once and for all. I bought the music from a music store called “Sound of Music”. I cannot give it out. I had it posted on this website for about a year and got many complaints about violating copyright issues. Thus, I WILL NOT be giving it out anymore. I thought about it and yeah, it is kind of unfair. Not only to the composer but to myself. I went out and BOUGHT this music with my own money so everyone else should do the same if they want it. Again, thank you for viewing my video but please, no more harassing about sheet music..

THANK YOU to all the people who viewed and who commented such sweet things on this video! It means so much to me.

Cover by Giorgio Rizzarelli.

From the soundtrack of the blockbuster movie “Jaws” (“Lo Squalo” in Italy, I say it for my Italian friends) (1975) directed by Steven Spielberg.

Among the most famous soundtracks composed by the genius of John Williams, this is the first in time and, for me, the most fun to play, especially for its particular and dramatic featuring of piano: an unforgettable theme consisting in just an alternation of 2 or 3 bass notes in ottava (0:13).

Looking closer, however, the theme develops richly on that simple base (with orchestra in the original arrangement), first adding standard chords in unusual menacing way (0:20), then depicting intriguing open-sea waves (0:40ca) and later contrasting with the happy beach people unaware of the danger (1:00).

The sheet is rather simplified respect the CD version, which is of course a synthesis of the movie soundtrack. This interpretation is a compromise between these various versions, with the addition of a couple of personal elements in the philosophy of the piece.

The video received the following YouTube honors:
Uploading day:
#1 – Most Discussed – Music (Italy)
#3 – Most Discussed (Italy)
#2 – Top Rated – Music (Italy)
#8 – Top Favorites – Music (Italy)
First Week:
#5 – Most Discussed – Music (Italy)
#6 – Top Rated – Music (Italy)
The video also got compliments from Orchestra Filarmonica di Roma.

This cover is dedicated to my friend Lisa:

for her passion for horror movies – she does very good horror shorts (among various genres), check for instance “The Portrait”:

You may not make any profit from it, and I’m not responsible about any improper use of this video by anyone else.
I believe that this simplified solo-piano interpretation doesn’t damage the author and copyright owner but, oppositely, that it spreads the word about them.
Various people ask me for the sheet music: I suggest them to buy the official sheet music, which is easy to find on usual online stores.

ATTENTION: The video that i got the sheet music from was taken down due to a copyright claim from Hal Leonard Corporation (a sheet music company). Since the music was taken down due to a copyright claim, i will not email my copy of the music to anyone. Sorry. I got the music before it was officially released (when you couldn’t buy it yet), but now that it can be bought, just buy the music if you want to play it. It will be no more than about $5 anyway. (edit 11/28/09)

i got the piano sheet music for “Bella’s Lullaby” (the real version) and i decided to play it on my flute. as far as i can tell i’ll be the first flute version of it, so feel free to share this video with friends. comments of any kind are appreciated. :]

edit (about 20 minutes after uploading the video): ok… so this isn’t the first flute version of this song. oh well.

edit 2 (4/25/09): people lately have been telling me to blow faster air to get the high notes out. first, all that would do would make any note that comes out extremely sharp. second, i can get those high notes. at the time i recorded this, i had been playing piccolo right beforehand and i didnt have my flute embouchure right. that’s all. if you really want a re-record of this just for me to prove this, then just ask and i’ll do it (when i find the time).
