Piano Music by Guy Faux - "Blue Water Prelude" - Free Sheet Music Download.

Scene One: Just one look at the sparkling blue water and the snow covered mountains in the background was enough to inspire me to compose Blue Water Prelude.

Of course not every clip in this video is of deep blue water.

The aerial view of a slow moving, tree lined brook that leads into a water fall and then drops into a deep black watering hole is just as inspiring. The stark contrast of the green forest surrounding the water basin is absolutely breathtaking.

Then there’s the dilapidated dock sitting on a perfectly still lake — not a bit of movement in the water near the shore — but as the camera moves further offshore a light breeze creates a slight ripple on the surface of the water.

The use of a major 7th chord at the very beginning helps to set the mood of the piece.

The winter snow scenes that transition into the still lake in the middle of the woods once again creates an atmosphere of peace and serenity.

For many people, it’s hard to find personal quiet time in any given day, so I do my best to create piano videos that will help sooth the soul, if only for a few minutes.

I’ve been asked if it’s hard to compose on a regular schedule, but when you have such amazing video footage like the long stretch of white beach surrounded by the deepest blue water I’ve ever seen at 1:59, the music almost writes itself.

The snow covered winter shot of the camera pushing in on the church steeple up against the hillside, or the camera pulling out across a frozen, snow covered pond with a weathered split rail fence in the foreground all help in my writing process.

Blue Water Prelude, like many of my piano compositions, was written to help the listener find a quiet moment in their day where they can turn everything off for a few minutes and just relax.

While not every scene is of blue water, I like to create videos with a variety of nature scenes — but it’s usually one or two of those scenes that inspires the composition.

When I was younger I used to compose only when I was inspired.

Now when I sit down at the piano I have a process. Sometimes it starts with a chord. Others times I hear a few notes in the melody.

When I put that first chord and those first few notes of the melody together, I stop and listen.

Where is the melody leading me?

If I can’t hear it, then I play that first chord and those first few melody notes again.

Eventually, the next few notes will come. This is my writing process. There’s more to it than that, but that’s how one of my compositions begins.

I don’t always write a piece in one sitting, but that’s a story for another day.
