JOE MARTA MUSICIAN, COMPOSER, & ARRANGER
A Song for Mothers
A Note from the Composer:
This piece is dedicated to Melissa Stryker and all mothers everywhere. Melissa Stryker is better known by few, as Mom. Specifically, my mom. Without my mom, I would not have grown into the man I am today. She pushed me to learn how to stand up and speak for myself, she taught me how to be independent, and most importantly supported me in all of my endeavors. She helped me get to all of the music lessons, woke up ridiculously earlier and stayed up even later to get me to and from rehearsals, and traveled countless miles to get me to all of my college auditions. Even to this day, she still comes to every concert that I have. I thought the best way to give it back to her was to surprise her with with a piece written in her honor, and to all mothers who give everything they can to their children. |
