Welcome in my online theater, dear Reader
Below you can find a few of my compositions from the heart.
For this project I composed 23 songs but so far I have only recorded a few of them, the rest of the songs can be performed live
CLOSE TO PERFECTION (THE QUEEN OF THE NIGHT): (Only part of the song is recorded)
The first song is about a wonderful beauty that you are suddenly and unexpectedly confronted with. You suddenly find yourself nailed to the ground, and an immense sense of indescribable beauty takes hold of you. As an artist, this of course provides the necessary inspiration that you can respond to constructively, which in this case led to the composition of this melody and text. In this song the melody, the lyrics, the arrangement and the vocals are from my hand.
Composition and lyrics: Frank van den Berg
Arrangement: Frank van den Berg
Singing: Frank van den Berg
SONG OF HAPPINESS:
The second song is about your true nature which implies unconditional and absolute love.
Compositions and lyrics: Frank van den Berg
Arrangement: Frank van den Berg
Singing: Frank van den Berg
MY VALENTINE:
The third song is about the beautiful and indescribable feeling of true love flowing towards you. I once felt this, and I have never forgotten it. It overwhelms you, and is honest, sometimes hard, but also incredibly soft at the same time. It can also flow to you if you love yourself unconditionally, and are in line with all your feelings. You can find your Valentine in your Heart.

Hello... again,...hello
The day I shared a few of my compositions here on this website is a blessed day that I have been looking forward to for a long time, and that I enjoy immensely. Although there is still a little bit of work to do and these songs of course are only a few examples, this is after all a highlight after a long "wandering" in search of my ideal voice, and after a lot of work and commitment, sometimes in collaboration with others.
And it was really very worthwhile, dear visitor, because really... music was so palpably present throughout my life, and gave me so much inspiration and pleasure that it also gave me energy and "good vibes", and that never disappeared or faded into the background.
On the contrary, I became more and more interested in it, and that in many ways. So after a decade of playing the trumpet, I finally started composing music myself, quite late you could say, because I was already about 37 years old at the time.
But that really wasn't an obstacle at all, dear visitor, and that's actually an understatement, because I was really as bitten by a microbe, and completely immersed myself in it, which after a while led to me being able to record one of my songs in a friend's studio after he had come to listen, and through whom I eventually came to a very talented arranger.
And that combination worked very well. I composed my songs at home, so I made the melodies and lyrics on a simple arrangement on piano, and then sometimes an extensive arrangement was made by the arranger in question or sometimes I myself made a simple arrangement.
Now at this moment of my life, I felt like it was time to share a few compositions in a loving way with anyone interested in it. You can already listen to a number of songs on this page... and it is intended that a number more will be added as I am working on a live performance playlist of 24 songs that possibly will be recorded.
So RELAX AND ENJOY THE MUSIC I would say
In Light and Love Frank
If someone feels called to release one of these songs as a singer or producer, wholeheartedly welcome in my theater, with the necessary arrangements, something can always be arranged.
Note! All the songs (compositions) are registered with Sabam in my name, and therefore cannot be interpreted in a professional context without the permission of the relevant composer (myself in this case).
