The Day We Met

Emerging from his spate of Baroque musings Gerluz movesto a new century with Porphero's Watch Chain a simple two-part melody.

"The Languid Tenderness" Gerluz ends his foray into the Baroque era with François Couperin's silky tune "Les Langueurs Tendres"

François Couperin titled this song "The Gnat." And truly, this lilting tune evokes the charming image of a cloud of happy gnats dancing over the head of ones beloved. Gerluz brings the song to life with his piano rendering of the ancient and delightful harpsichord piece.

Another Françouis Couperin favorite danced over the keyboard by Gerluz. Again. this is from Couperin's Sixth Suite of Pieces for Harpsichord.

Another Harpsichord piece by François Couperin played on a piano by Gerluz. again this is from his "Pieces for Harpsichord," Book two, Suite 6. ...originally published in 1717, a mere 7 years before Benjamin Franklin was born.

Les Bergeries is a Harpsichord piece written by François Couperin. He originally published it in 1717 in his "Pieces for Harpsichord," Book two, Suite 6.

Taking hot and spicy to the next level, Chiltepin is a fancy, latin-esque tune that is mostly in 12/8 time

The rosy glow of a late summer sunset folds into the lilac & deep purples of dusk. Almost like water the transformed light flows through the open windows and mingles with the radiance of the single candle in the room. In the stillness of the evening a lone person floats through the room, bobbing and spinning in a slow quadrille..

Here Gerluz is performing with members of the Nouveau Guinea Ensemble in the piano quintet "Untitled-40."

A cool morning full of promise. Ah, but the coffee tastes good. come on out to the back porch and watch the day begin underneath the the cherry trees

Put another pot of coffee on the boiler!   Have yourself another cup of joe. Then keep on drinking until your nerves are a tingling   and your foot just cant stop tapping the floor.

She's sweet as the sunshine and bright as the day Whenever she smiles, the clouds all go away Here in my arms she forever will stay Song of my heart, she's my Latin Bouquet

Gerluz floats us along through this lazy waltz like a stroll through a flower garden. a bed of petunias is followed by some peonies followed by daisies... and look over there they even have some cauliflower! Ah but a waltz amongst the scented air is a delight indeed
