Symphony #1 - 1st Movement Symphony #1 - 1st Movement
Newly recorded version of the 1st movement, without the repeat. Like the television network TNT, "We know Drama".
Unrequited Love Unrequited Love
A short piece for oboe, clarinet, bassoon, french horn and strings that I wrote to tweak the noses of some folks over at http://www.midi-contest.com A total joke, but pleasant enough nevertheless.
The Sowcase Variations - Theme The Sowcase Variations - Theme
A little theme I cooked up to challenge my fellow composers to a variation duel at midi-contest.com
The Sowcase Variations - Variation #2 The Sowcase Variations - Variation #2
Another "call and response" duet, this time between the oboe, bassoon, solo violin and accompanying muted strings. Note how the theme shifts from voice to voice, as well as the figurations accompanying it, before dovetailing to a stylish finish.
The Sowcase Variations - Variation #3 The Sowcase Variations - Variation #3
NOW we're cooking with fire! A contrapuntal treatment that even Bach would like just a little.
The Sowcase Variations - Variation #4 The Sowcase Variations - Variation #4
The 4th in the series, this is more melancholic in tone, and reflects my grief at losing my daughter. Sweetly, quietly sad, it prepared me for writing the finale, when my heart was ready to do it.
The Spanish Sowcase Festival Overture (finale) The Spanish Sowcase Festival Overture (finale)
The rousing finale to "The Sowcase Variations", with little mercy for the guitarist.

A fun little break from all of that "serious composing" that so characterizes me, LOLOLOL.

An original exploration of the classical concerto form, with yours truly hammering away at the keyboard. Thank Christ for editing software, LOL!
The Entrance of The Princess Aria The Entrance of The Princess Aria
For my beautiful daughter Aria, whose own entrance and exit was as lovely, bittersweet and exciting as the music suggests. She used to love to twirl around to this!
