My Personal Opinion about Music
"I believe that music was sent to us from a divine source and that all real music is a glorification of God and not the glorification of Man. So much of our society has destroyed the true meaning of music. Music is not sex, popular dance, or other choices of man, but is the spirit of God and only of God. These are my personal opinions and I know that these ideas have very little meaning and support in our society.
However, I believe that instrumental music as composed by Bach in his Brandenburg Concertos is the closes example of this idea.
This is why pure instrumental music is so close to The Spirit of Nature and The Spirit of Life or "The Nameless God" as founded in all true religions.
May a few individuals stand for the pure art of music so that its voice will ring out for its affirmation. I have tried my best to meet this challenge. But I only see how much I have failed in our modern age of computers and CD's from the entertainment industry and established concert halls."
I turned to Yoga for my strength and life. Life without Yoga is not life. If you want to be a real artist you must study Yoga. http://yogayogayoga.org this will give you the strength to move into the world of real art and the only art. Yoga is Art. Art is Yoga. Music is materialism. This was very sad for me when I learned that music was no different than a hot dog. But when you study yoga and the art of yoga you will learn the fine line between musical art and materialism. Most all music is materialism, but at times it reaches the divine. Let us learn to be on that fine line of divine music. This is the meaning of my life is divine music. There is no more to say.

Lym Christie said of Waters "He is a citizen of the world" "Not afraid to be Creative Reedman Waters is a virtuoso multi-instrumentalist and gifted composer"
The Observation Post Frederic Seaman, New York City
"Waters was unknown to this reviewer but his fine album Mission made
me really sit up and take notice. Greg is a musician of uncommon ability." Bronx News Highlights in Jazz, Jack Kleinsinger
Music has universal standards that has nothing to do with the pop culture and all that goes with it! For me musical values have changed so much I do not know what music is! Greg Henry Waters

Composer Conductor and Arranger (Woodwind Performer)
Professional Musician New York City now going on 26 years. Before living in New York I lived and worked in Chicago and Toronto. In Chicago I developed my orchestral music and continued this work in Toronto. In Toronto I started my jazz composing and wrote music for a new music jazz ensemble (free form) and tunes for a traditional small group. Started my Mission Albums. http://greghenrywaters.com/mp3/ In New York I created the Greg Henry Waters Jazz Chamber Orchestra which John Riley called one of the most rewarding musical organizations he has ever performed with. (Drummer Village Vanguard Orchestra for 15 years or more.)
My compositions are stored in the New York Library System (call 212-365-5260 ext. 11 or 21 to view the music) and the Originals are at the University of North Texas Library Music Section, Denton, Texas http://www.library.unt.edu/music/ for information.
I hope soon to have many compositions here from classical jazz and many tunes and hopefully educational material too when I have the time. I wish I had the money to place all my compositions in the Sibelius program. Well I was born too many years before the computer age.
List of compositions are here. http://greghenrywaters.com/compo.html
You can view some of my other scores here. http://greghenrywaters.com/scores All my sib scores here.
