Memory - Piano / Orchestral - Carlton Forrester

- "Memory" was a popular song in the early 80's as the climax theme in the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical "Cats". I was just a kid then, and picked up the tune from the radio and played it a lot. I was playing it the other day and got the idea to record my own arrangement with orchestration. So, here it is!
The song was recorded using the Ivory II for piano and Vienna Instruments for strings, brass, woodwinds, and percussion.
It's been a while since my last video and a few things have changed in my recording setup (for those who are interested in such things)...
For one, I've started using the new Ivory 2 Grand Pianos sample library and I really like it! It's not a groundbreaking upgrade from Ivory but there are several enhancements that I really appreciate. I believe my favorite is the new Timbre Shift capability. For me the advantage of this feature is that it allows better placement of the piano track within a mix. Previously, in Ivory, a solo part would sound great, but then added to a mix of other instruments, it would get lost.
Second, I've replaced my DAW computer with a newer, more powerful PC -- which turned out to be a real task. Anyone who uses a DAW with hundreds of gigabytes of samples and instruments probably understands the time consuming job of installing these libraries. It seems like it took me days to finishing the install process and get everything set up the way I had it on my old machine.
Third, this is my first video in HD. I've acquired a Canon 7D, which was used to shoot this video. So far, things have gone pretty good, and I like the quality. We'll see if TH-cam plays nice with HD!
Thanks for listening and please let me know what you think!
Bye for now,
Carlton
When I pet my elderly cat, and she purrs, contentedly, she helps me to understand what happiness is! 💖💕😺🥰
Agreed 👍
My favorite piano version of "Memory." Thank you😊
how I love to listen to this piano piece. It brings back memories, it makes me nostalgic and sad.
A good piano song when the listener is really emotional
Fabulous, Masterpiece !! Who is listening 2020?
Me
It's been such a crap year 2020 - we need beautiful music like this :)
Me
Me too
its 2023 bro
This song is so timeless and so special. I still remember that day sometime in the early 90s when the little me decided to how to learn to play it after becoming envious of how my teen big sister so beautifully played it on her Electone organ.
Thank you very much for sharing it 😊 congrats for your new technologies improvements 👋
One of my dad's favorite... I love your version. I can hear his voice while listening to you play this 😢
Damn, this man is true Genius! I first listened to his StarWars Medley almost 10 years ago. I came back and listen to his other videos... Damn, I cant express how awesome his arrangements are. So beautiful.
Your playing is so beautiful, it's like every emotion every horrible feeling has been wiped away you have to power to calm the mind and the heart god has blessed you this wonderful gift
Memory: simplemente sublime❤
Ending of 2024 still listening ❤
Impressive!... The performance is calm and not exaggerated... He handles the piano very easily... Only an expert can do that....
professional production values. very impressive. Great playing as well, it's always a joy to hear a musician who can feel the music and express that in his performance.
Best version of this song.. love this so much.. 😢
One of my favorite pieces. You rendered it perfectly. Subscribed. Thank you for sharing this healing piece.
this reminds me 7 years ago when I played the piano and also this song... I have not touched piano for a very long time....
maybe I need to.
+Līga Lukstiņa Go for it! :)

nah
Līga Lukstiņa It’s been another 5 years. Are you playing the piano?
Thanks for your wonderful rich music! It melts my heart.
This song is very special to me... I used to hum this to my boys when I rocked them to sleep and it always soothed then to sleep. 🥰
This is special for me too. My mother was an excellent player and this song was 1 of my favorites she would cover. I quit piano in 6th grade, greatest mistake. I play guitar now but i constantly think about it. Piano/organ music is my favorite.
I listen to this when I’m practicing ballet it is very beautiful
This song made my life better 😄🙏😃
Totally gorgeous
Tam gdzie konczą się słowa,zaczyna się muzyka❤️. Zanurz się w niej...♥️
O thank you so much for your hard work to put it all together...set ups+etc I luv it, kept replaying!
Music to my ear it makes me want to go back in time.
So beautiful ❤️ sound! 👏 Bravo utube Ένα χρυσόψαρο μέσα στη γυάλα JOHN BAVAS
Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can dream of the old days
Life was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Every street lamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the street lamp sputters
And soon it will be morning
Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory, too
And a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale court smell of morning
A street lamp dies
Another night is over
Another day is dawning
Touch me!
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with my memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me,
You'll understand what happiness is
Look! A new day
Has begun

All alone in the moonlight
I can dream of the old days
Life was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Every street lamp seems to beat

Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters
And soon it will be morning
Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The still cold smell of morning
A street lamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning
Touch me,
It is so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me,
You'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun
