"Everlasting" from the album "Pure Hammered Dulcimer" by Joshua Messick. Recorded in the lush, rainy mountain forest of Montreat, North Carolina. A few raindrops sprinkled on my soundboard while filming. Don't try this at home. Composed and performed by Joshua Messick. Recorded with my Master Works "DulciForte" hammered dulcimer.

|| A Note from Joshua
I often record my improvisations to explore what my heart has to say through my hammered dulcimer--I try not to think about anything technical. This approach was used while composing Everlasting. After reviewing the recording, I realized the time signature was 11/8. Next, I pondered the developing composition with more technical insight to construct a chord progression and melody. Once Everlasting was completed, I learned my heart was longing to prioritize and value the most important things such as love, faith, family, and relationships.

Thank you for the beautiful music and video Joshua. My whole life i had the dream to master a musical instrument, but it never happened. Harp and flute my preference. Played a bit of flute and bass. Sadly they're collecting dust now. Next month i will be 62 and tell myself I'm too late and too old to start playing a dulcimer. More affordable than harp, but lovely heavenly sound too. Maybe i will try anyway. Thank you again for making the world nicer, friendlier and more peaceful. We all should take time to listen and connect to the fairies. ❤😊

I just realized that I did not yet comment this video although I listen to it quite often. It is wonderful like most of your tunes. And so often when I listen after a day full with work or other stuff then it feels like flying or diving away in spheres of light. Which is so important in our times. "Everlasting" especially is like an invitation to click on the repetition button to listen "everlasting" (at least: for a while).

Another great piece Mr Messick, well done! Your music always takes me on a journey that I don't want to come to an end. And don't worry, I won't try this at home. I'm not very good and I'd probably destroy my instrument if I tried haha! Blessings to you and your family...🕊️

Thank you, Michael! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it! Yes, I recorded in between rain showers. A few raindrops from the leaves hit the soundboard. I finished up just in time before the next big downpour! Many blessings to you and yours as well :-)

Outstanding work ! As a santur player, I can relate to the creative process stemming from the improvisation, especially when carried on peculiar time signatures such as this 11/8, 9/8, 5/4... These signatures often provide a great backdrop to come up with more expressive melodies, but one must remain focused to avoid messing up the fragile rhythmic patterns. You masterfully succeeded in this one :)

Awesome Joshua! I've been trying to play this tune but it ain't easy when your extended bass bridge is on the left! Really enjoying the album

@JoshuaMessick 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks, Curtis! It's a fun tune to play! Yes, the bass bridge on the right sure does help with those lower notes. I'm just about to release the sheet music for it. It's all notated, I'm just finalizing the engraving. If you ever want to get an instrument with a bass bridge on the right, you know where I"m at -- I'd love to help you. Keep up the great work.
