Discovery: OHNomad

Classical composer OHNomad started composing music during the pandemic, with Universal Connection: Danielle being the culmination of his effort.

By Jane Howkins

Universal Connection: Danielle was written about a friend’s daughter who sadly passed away. Despite the lack of lyrics, you can really feel the emotion within the music, showing that this is one composer with a great songwriting ability. It’s a classical piece with some neoclassical elements, featuring a glorious flowing piano motif that changes every so slightly as the piece progresses. There’s also several woodwind instruments added in for great effect, making it all sound extremely haunting. This is one of the best classical pieces I’ve heard in a long time!
