An epic original composition from dear friend, arranger and composer Krystof Srebrakowski. This song is a declaration of power, majesty and grandeur. Krystof, in my opinion, is today's most amazing arranger and composer of epic themes.
He also is the organist that has brought the Tampa Bay Lightning to there two most recent Stanley Cup victories.
There is poetry sited in this selection by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow... "Carillon". A dear friend Kurt von Schmittou (voice over artist, member of a cappella group VOCTAVE, singer, actor) recites this at the opening of the musical piece.

To me these are the strongest melodies of modern time. What better instrument to present these than the Carillon!!! Ramin Djawadi, German composer wrote this epic theme for pop culture show "Game Of Throness" while John Williams continues to add to his life changing library of epic musical scores with his work in "Harry Potter"
Thanks to my musical partner and mentor Krystof Srebrakowski for his wonderful orchestrations.
The rhythm section that excites this selection is as follows:
Charlie St.Cyr-Paul - Drums, Percussion & Carillon
Eric Lugo - Bass
Niklas Schonbeck - Guitar
Krystof Srebrakowski - Keys & Orchestration
"Up Is Down" is a musical theme composed and conducted by Hans Zimmer for Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. My dear friend Krystof Srebrakowski orchestrated this for me as we added a few twists and turns in the arrangement. This song, to me, embodies the Pirate's need for adventure and embraces the playful culture of every pirate both young and old.

One of my favorite rock songs by one of my favorite rock bands. Paranoid by Black Sabbath. I remember being one of my first concerts as a kid, sneaking into the Hampton Beach Club Casino in NH with my older brother to see this band for the first time. The power of this band and the shear volume blew me away. So, why not add something to the music equally as epic. THE CARILLON!!!!

I can't think of any more iconic song that represents my love for classic rock and the best band play it than Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song.
Such a simple motif yet haunting to the core..

This song has several celebrations for me. It pronounces royalty and courtship. Although it also embodies leadership and positive direction. This is for all the Kingsmen and forward thinking leaders, both men and women, Composed and orchestrated by my dear friend and musical partner Krystof Srebrakowski.

I, along with millions of others, have always felt a connection to this song. I don't sing much, but I love to when I can. This is the epic love song (for all ages) by Peter Gabriel. Romantic love or love for God.... choose as you wish.
