Dream of Olwen - Movie Theme - While I Live - Beautiful Synthesizer version
After a conversation with my Mum the other day, she asked me If I could play 'Dream of Olwen' as it was a favourite piece she played on the piano when she was a little girl. So, I Googled it, found some sheet music for it and some movie clips as well. So, I thought, lets give it a little face lift.... instead of piano/orchestra, how about SYNTHESIZERS! Ah, isn't modern technology wonderful. I used the VSTi's Korg Monopoly (My 'go to synth' for everything almost) Poly Six, Yamaha CS80, Oberheim, Korg M1, Moog Mini, Roland Jupiter 8.
The main challenge was the sound design, for each part, changing patches a few times through the composition. Hope you guys enjoy!

Thanks for watching, please remember to like, share and subscribe Thanks :-)

While I Live is a 1947 British drama film, directed by John Harlow. While I Live is best remembered for its musical theme "The Dream of Olwen" composed by Charles Williams, reprised at intervals throughout the film, which became hugely popular in its time and is still regularly performed. The film itself became widely known as The Dream of Olwen. It was based on a play by Robert Bell, in which also Sonia Dresdel also starred.

In 1922 in Cornwall, a prodigious young pianist and composer Olwen Trevelyan (Audrey Fildes) is struggling with the ending of a piano tone poem she is composing. Driven to complete the piece by her domineering elder sister Julia (Sonia Dresdel), Olwen becomes agitated and despondent, and one night sleepwalks to the edge of a cliff near their home. Julia follows her and shouts her name but Olwen, abruptly awakened, loses her balance and falls to her death on the rocks below. Julia is unable to come to terms with Olwen's death and the guilt of her own role in it, over the years becoming a reclusive, obsessive figure whose main raison d'être is to keep Olwen's memory alive. Olwen's final composition gains her posthumous recognition, and each year on the anniversary of her death it is broadcast on the radio.
