Hi Graham,
Very atmospheric and I especially like how the organ complements the piano.
Great track.
Lovely – really beautiful.
what a lucky nephew.
i hope you play it for him in utero while he still has a little peace and quiet
He will recognize it when he hits this cold cruel world.
thanks for the lovely peace you brought to my morning
i feel like knitting for my grandbabies instead of tidying up the kitchen
please send the details i’ll be thinking of all of you.
All my best and congratulation, uncle graham
Hi Graham,
What a lucky little boy we’ll have. He’s surrounded by so much love. The song is beautiful. I know someday it will mean a great deal to him, just as it does now to me.
I’ve already played it many times for him. I think it’s just what we need.
Love,
Jodi
This is really beautiful!
Dear Graham,
What a lovely piece of music and what an exciting and beautiful way of welcoming a new member to the family. Just think, a piece of music written especially for him.
Love,
John & Ethel Anthony
Quiet wonder as we patiently wait
For the day you break your silence
And burst from the darkness
To be cradled in your mother’s arms
Quiet wonder as we anticipate
That first moment when we embrace
The blessing of your new life
To be welcomed in our family circle
Quiet wonder as our heartbeats quicken
Listening for the call from long distance
Telling us that you’ve arrived in our world
So we can draw close to whisper
“We’re so glad you’ve come!”
Thank you for the inspiration, Graham
Graham, The calm bewilderment evident in this piece is inspiring. It reminds me of how special the time was just before my children were born when I thought about what they would be like. This kind of calm is so easily shattered by the anxiety and noise of early childhood. I’m sure you all will enjoy returning to this piece as your nephew grows.
Beautiful!
What a beautiful composition. You have obvious talents as writer and artist.
I hope you are performing publicly on a regular basis so that others can benefit from your gifts.
[...] Quiet Wonder I wrote this for my nephew who is due to be born in 15 days. [...]
I can hear him coming… wonderful prelude to a life.
He’s due today. Come on buddy. Can’t wait to meet you!
Baby Elliot Isaac English will truly love this!
Congratulations Uncle Graham
Graham,
What beautiful music you write. I always
knew you were destined to become famous.
Congratulations! I can put my grandson to sleep
on this music.
p.s. Will there be a todler sequel to “Quiet
Wonder”? Todler’s like to bang on things.
Just a little f.y.i. for when your nephew
is older.
Cherlyn Rangel (Vic Rangel’s wife).
I am so glad Vic found your site.
Thanks so much, Cherlyn! But I’m hardly famous, just kinda popular.
The rambunctious toddler music will be coming! Please tell the kids hello for me.
