Message

This work is sort of like creating a compelling and enticing invitation directed at meeting someone you think you want to spend some time with and wanting to make an approach in a pleasant way. The message is simply, “I want to meet you” through music rather than through the use of words.

Dedication

To that someone special who you would like to meet.

Story behind the song

This was a fun and enjoyable piece to write. I had the fifth and six measure motif in my mind for over a week. It just wouldn’t go away so I was compelled to write it down. Next thing I knew Hey There was born! Basically, the composition originally was written with first and second violins as found in your typical string quartet. After contemplating the music for a while, I chose to replace the second violin with the guitar to add additional rhythmic support and to slightly alter the overall sound. Hey There was written from an initial droning in my head of the motif pointed out above but developed into the complete composition in a rather short time.
