(): After teaming to write an award-winning original score for a web series, pianist-composer-arranger Peggy Duquesnel reunites with orchestrater and woodwind man Billy Martin for a newly released outing that explores the spiritual side of her creative muse entitled "In The Garden." Containing over an hour of tranquil piano and woodwind selections issued on the Joyspring Music label featuring originals penned by Duquesnel along with classics and traditional hymns, the recording also includes a pair of long-revered hymns from the late pianist and Piano Orchestrations brand creator Steve Hall, whose 25-year-old, two-million-selling Bankbeat Productions imprint recently came under the Joyspring Music umbrella.Ĭontinuing her varied recording career that spans a dozen instrumental and vocal jazz and devotional albums, "In The Garden" is a soothing session featuring Duquesnel's lyrical piano poetry and enhanced by Martin's woodwinds.

With a real pro at the wheel, our ears are in good hands throughout.”Īward-winning pianist Peggy Duquesnel turns heads skyward "In The Garden" this new age/instrumental set comes in handy when you want some peaceful tunes swirling around you. “ The collection of piano reveries mixes hymns with secular music in a flow. Gurujas Khalsa - White Sun, New Age Artist This album also features original songs by the composer that are equally enjoyable…you can easily listen again and again, each time finding some new favorite line.” I found 'Canon in D/Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee' to be particularly moving. “ Peggy has taken many recognizable hymns and created instrumental masterpieces. Dave Kinnoin, Songwriter and Children's Artist “ A masterpiece so gentle and lovely it heals the parts you didn't know you had.”

Peggy Duquesnel, Billy Martin and Steve Hall have crafted a sublime sonic refuge for our weary nerves.” “ In the Garden, fifteen of our most beloved hymns, songs and classical melodies, all set in a perfect flow of delightful arrangements. Ricky Kej,Grammy Award Winning New Age Composer and Producer This marvelously produced album is a veritable bouquet of sounds that rise and fall gently on the heart and impart utter peace and well-being.” Our work presents in an analytical manner why machine-generated music to date still falls short of the artwork of humanity, and sets some goals for future work on automatic composition to further pursue.“ There is much to savor about in this beautifully crafted album of 15 hymns rendered so lovingly on the piano. This includes analyzing the statistics of the pitch class, grooving, and chord progression, assessing the structureness of the music with the help of the fitness scape plot, and evaluating the model's understanding of Jazz music through a MIREX-like continuation prediction task. We therefore go one step further and conduct a series of computational analysis of the generated compositions from different perspectives. While we are able to reduce the training loss to a low value, our listening test suggests however a clear gap between the average ratings of the generated and real compositions. Moreover, the model endeavors to incorporate structural events present in the Weimar Jazz Database (WJazzD) for inducing structures in the generated music. This paper presents the Jazz Transformer, a generative model that utilizes a neural sequence model called the Transformer-XL for modeling lead sheets of Jazz music.
