On Top Of a Cloud Founder and Composer, Leland Thomas Faegre
STATELINE, Nev. – May 1, 2018 – PRLog — On Top Of a Cloud is pleased to announce the placement of “Marquees, Matinees and Marionettes,”
On Top Of a Cloud Composer and Founder, Leland Thomas Faegre was delighted with the placements by Songtradr:
“Although these compositions have been catalogued and licensed by publishers from around the world previously, Songtradr’s partnership is a very prestigious one that flatters our creative, international portfolio of diverse, elegant genres of instrumental and vocal music,” said Faegre.
Songtradr’s world class content management system arms music makers with a comprehensive set of tools and services to professionally manage their careers, while [their] automated marketplace and talented music supervisors streamline the music discovery and licensing process.
Faegre describes “Marquees, Matinees and Marionettes”
“As the title and production suggests, this composition is an aural gift of nostalgia, and reminiscent of what a child would find entertaining. An exciting Orchestral palette, with tympani and triangle the puppets almost walk off on their own…”
Faegre added, “Upon the climactic conclusion of Ravel’s “Bolero” one August afternoon, my daughter immediately began to hum this melody. Ironically, I had always considered it to be unconsciously influenced by the great twentieth century composer, whose work I admire greatly. Originally found in ‘Minuet in D,’ the engaging descending and ascending motif I found so attractive that I considered using a derivation of it as part of a different composition. Beginning with the temple block, the track takes on an orchestral feel as tympani, vibraslap, triangle and snare texture the production. I had great fun in its production, and “Marquees, Matinees and Marionettes”
Faegre continued:
“‘Pathetique’ was previously placed on a compilation CD entitled, Classical Music of the 21st Century, Volume 3, in the documentary, “Inside the Moon Bear Rescue Centre, China,” by The Animals Asia Foundation, [a non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue of the Asiatic Black Bear] and MediaNet, “the most advanced on-demand audio management and publishing platform…bringing participating artists’ music into the company’s massive network of download kiosks in private businesses around the world.”
And one of your daughter’s songs was selected?
“A published singer/songwriter at thirteen, my daughter’s worldwide release of her infectiously innocent, ‘Shining In My Hair,’ appearing on an artist compilation CD from AudioSparx entitled, Female Pop – Volume 1, came only 9 months after its debut in Summer, 2006. A collection of female-vocal pop music with a flair, including pop, soft pop, alt pop and Lillith Fair-styled pop music tracks, ‘Shining In My Hair’ stands out as an endearingly attractive statement of youthful wonder and love of life.”
Faegre continued:
“Among many other licensing agreements, in November 2014, Deirdre licensed ‘Shining In My Hair’ from our music catalogue to Riva Donna, an exclusive Greek beauty spa located in Thessaloniki for a 30 second television commercial on TV100, a local station.”

And what about “Together, Around The Sun?”
“Previously placed on Blue Saturdays, Morning Sessions, a compilation CD on Ecstasy Records and licensed by PlayNetwork, the Independent Filmmaker Project and Australia’s Omny Studios, ‘Together, Around the Sun’ had only a working title until just before I went into final production, though I always had a celestial interpretation as the divining guide throughout the creative process. The ‘looping’ trumpet motif heard throughout the piece represents our infinite and circuitous planetary orbit as the quintessential living essence of our earthly experience. Slowly, the elegance and grandeur of its mission unfolds as cello, violin, French horn sections and various instrumental components enjoin the elliptical journey. As though comfortably seated upon the polar cap, the aural experience is an introduction to the eternal continuum of creation.”

Faegre continued, “The only accurate recollection I have of this composition is that it was written late in the 80’s or early in the 90’s in what I have often referred to as the ‘Roland Architecture Period.’ The piano part came first followed by the trumpet which was written in step mode much as Peter Townsend wrote the arpeggiated and recurring motif heard on ‘We Won’t Get Fooled Again.’ Leaving only the drums and bass parts to be written completing the original sessions’ arrangement where it remained until the Spring of 2005, when I returned to where I had left the composition and to at long last, complete the production.”
