Hi! I am still alive! Have been busy, you know...
This piece I made to describe all the thoughts and things I have in my mind that seem to never finish. Hence the ending...:)
I am also proud to announce that my arrangements, compositions and transcriptions, including this one, are now available for purchase/download at http://www.per-olovkindgren.com/ipnmonitor/index.php It is still growing so if you don't find a piece, it will be there soon. Please be patient...
At the same time, I am sorry to inform that www.EditionGlobal.com is out of business. Please visit my Music OnLine store instead.
As you can see I am very much alive and I miss you all. I will soon upload more videos and I would be happy if you would still listen to me and take your time to comment.
And oh!... in this video, I didn't add reverb. It's the room's own sound.
Love and peace,
Per-Olov

Unfinished Thoughts...

Beatles: Hey Jude
This is a recording I made 4 weeks ago (when I had time) :-) I made this for my students but I hope you can appreciate this very easy arrangement of "Hey Jude".
Love and peace!
Per-Olov

Lullaby for Verónica
This is a piece I made 3 weeks ago. I recorded it 2 weeks ago but haven't had time to upload it until now. It's for the sweetest, funniest and smartest "almost" 9 years old girl I know! :-) I hope she, her mother and all my listeners and friends will like it.
If you are still awake when it finishes, I have failed terribly!
To all of you that have commented on my "Hey Jude" and "Maria": I have seen and read and smiled at them all, but I simply cannot answer all your kind and friendly comments. :-( I have to practice too, you know! But here I would like to say Thank you!! and please keep commenting because I read them all and carry them in my heart!
Love to all of you but specially to my two Angles,
Love you!

Serenata para Marie
Once again a piece inspired by Marie. I am so grateful to her for her constant inspiration and encourage. Thank you for listening! Per-Olov

Leonard Bernstein's MARIA from "West Side Story"
I did this arrangement many years ago. lunalunanueva told me she loved this song so I decided to post it here for her. [and you]...
Lyrics:
The most beautiful sound I ever heard:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria.
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria.
Maria, I've just met a girl named Maria,
and suddenly the name will never be the same to me.
Maria! I've just kissed a girl named Maria.
And suddenly I've found how wonderful a sound can be.
Maria, say it loud and there's music playing.
Say it soft and it's almost like praying,
Marie, I never stop saying: "Marie!"
For Marie with love,
Pelle

Oceans Of The Moon - Sea Of Clouds
Yet another piece from my (still growing) Suite "Oceans of the Moon". This is Mare Nubium: 333 square kilometers wide.
This is a bit different than the others because it's not as melodic. More "modern" in it's language, I think.
Again made for Marie, my constant inspiration and love.

Michelangelo Galilei: Toccata V
Another Toccata (I have recorded three) by Michelangelo Galilei! I think this music is so beautiful. I cannot believe it was composed in Italy in 1570!! Some harmonies and chord changes are very modern.
This is in F#- minor but that is sucha pain in the -- to play so I trancribed it into e-minor and with a capo it sounds in g-minor!
For Marie with love!

J. S. Bach: Allemande BWV 996 v.2.0
This is one of two versions I made of Bach Allemande in e-minor.
I made one in Miami Beach New Years Day with the camera's built-in microphone. I am playing a Ricardo Sanchis Carpio, (Valencia 1975) There is no added reverb.
I hope you like the video. We (Marie and I) had fun filming and editing it!
Per-Olov.
The other one I recorded in Copenhagen this February because I know I made some errors in the first video plus I wanted to play it on my own guitar and with added reverb.

I hope you will listen to both and enjoy!

Fernando Sor Study Op. 31 no. 20
Fernando Sor is best in his many studies, I think. (apart form his Mozart Variations op. 9).
This study in a-minor is part of my daily "warm-up" in the mornings. It's great for the right hand balance and staccato and for the left hand chords.
This, together with a Tarrega study (I will post that soon) is a good start for me before playing my pieces.
Peace and love to all of you out there in front of the screens!
Per-Olov

Keep happy! I am!

H.M. Blues by The King of Thailand!! Yes! It's true!
This is a funny thing I found in a shop in 2000: a book with music by H.M. The King of Thailand Bhumibol Adulyadej! (and no Jolina, Liran and Marie, it's NOT Bladish!)
He is an accomplished saxophone player with a music diploma from the academy of Music in Vienna, Austria! The first time I tried this music I was amazed at the fun of it! There are tremolo pieces, Ragtime's, Lullaby's, even a piece called "Never mind the hungry man Blues"!! :-) (A title for a King!!) Not every piece is a master piece but this "H.M. Blues" is great fun!
Please: No TAB's avaliable! Sorry!
Oh... and, I almost forgot: You can now get my CD "AFTER SILENCE" from my record company's webpage:
www.villaluisarecords.com (fast and reliable delivery!)
Stay happy!
Yours,
Per-Olov, Per, Peo, Pelle, Mr. K.

OCEANS OF THE MOON - Sea of Crisis
Another piece in the series; "OCEANS OF THE MOON". This one is called: "Sea Of Crisis" [Mare Crisium], a more dramatic piece, but still with the beauty of the guitar.
We, Marie and I, made this on the beach in front of her home in Miami Beach. We had to wait for bad weather and on the second last day before I was leaving, it rained! YAY!
Marie filmed, edited and directed EVERYTHING! I only had to play the guitar. Am I lucky or what? Thank you lunalunanueva! The music was made for you, but you made the music alive! With the video editing you added your artistic talent to it and made it even more beautiful! Thank you!
Every comment I get on this, if any, is for you too!
More to come in 2008!
Guitar: Ricardo Sanchis Carpio, Valencia 1975
:: HAPPY NEW YEAR ::

SOLEDAD - Maria Linnemann
I am proud to announce the first recoring of Maria Linnemann's "SOLEDAD"!
Maria composed this music this year and decided to dedicate it to me.
It's a great honor!
When I asked her what's behind the piece she told me:
"It was inspired by a poem written by a poet of the '27 generation', Emilio Prados. Many poets fled Spain at the time of the civil war, and found a new home in S. America or Mexico. But they homesick, and their poems reflect their sadness. Prados' poem is called 'Cancion', and begins: Puente de mi soledad: con las aguas di mi muerte tus ojos se calmaran....'.
With affection!

Per-Olov Kindgren plays in Rome: Torija
Here is another chapter/video we made in Rome in October.It's recorded just behind the Pantheon (the wall behind me).
Marie said; There! Sit there and play! I love the light! Aaaand.... ACTION!
I am playing Federico Moreno Torrobas "Torija" from his "Castillos de Espagna"
Thanks to Marie for holding the camera so long without shaking... I know how hard it was.
Eres la mejor!
