Derrik Jordan: Music

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

This one is an invitation to your loved one to join you in the beauty of nature. It features a quica, a Braziian instrument used in samba that is very expressive and humorous. Lisa Sokolov and Derrik duet on vocals. Lisa Sokolov also performs this on piano in her own shows and has released it on DVD with her singing. I just created an arrangement of this song for woodwind quintet.

Walk In Beauty

Oh how can you help but be enthralled
When there is beauty all
Around us?

Right now, not some time I’m dreaming of
When ecstasy and love
Have found us

Right here in this place where we reside
Not some far-flung island
It’s ours the moment we decide
That what we have is all that we need

Will you walk in beauty with me?
Will you walk in beauty with me, darling?
Will you walk in beauty with me?
Will you walk in beauty with me, darling?
