Welcome to my website.
The music chosen for my Homepage is "Time To Say Goodbye" and is an instrumental arrangement on midi file of the song made so popular by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman. Perhaps a strange title for the "beginning" but a simple, haunting melodic line to set the scene. If you have the time it is rather a lovely piece of music to listen to in its entirety. Being an instrumental musician and teacher I have never paid the greatest attention to lyrics which to me have always been of secondary importance after the music in a musical composition.
In order to "meld" the Cavaliers with my music I have entitled the website "The Well-Tempered Cavaliers" from two ideas. The first is the beautiful temperament of Cavaliers. The second idea is a "slight corruption" of the title of J.S. Bach's "The Well-Tempered Clavier." A clavier is a musical instrument which is a predecessor to the piano.
I have intended to tell the stories of my Cavaliers to fanciers of the breed and to those thinking of introducing a Cavalier into their families. In the pages accessible from the buttons below I invite you to visit and you will see how my Cavaliers live in my home with my family, cats, and my music which is a large part of my life.
This is one story of a Cavalier family in Australia.
Please enjoy!
