This is a chaconne for alto flute and guitar I wrote over the past 2 months or so.It is based on the following chords (sometimes they don't all appear in proportion, for example: before the last variation there is a repeat of the "phrase is ending" motif (D-Eb-C-B-Bb etc.):D Minor - D Minor Added 9th - Eb Minor - EmM7 - Abm(add6) - GMajor 7 - cm7 - Ebm (and then it repeats)A few things I would want comments on: the triplets variation, is that too hard for the flautist to count(starting measure…See More

Today was a good day, I made progress on my magnum opus, my lovely piano concerto that I started planning out months ago (no key signature yet, I'll see where my harmony takes me)!Though in particular, the 2nd movement.It starts on a low D (much like a Satie waltz) and then goes into the B below mid c + an f# (in 3/4) then much like a satie waltz it goes down to D again, and hits B + G, but in two higher octaves of the piano, it hits parallel F#'s . So now we have a really pretty G Major7 chord…See More

Hello fellow people who spend hours staring at pieces of paper hoping to get something of value accomplished (or so it feels like we stare at pieces of paper for hours)! Very soon I have to start writing for guitar and flute as part of an assignment for the composition program I am in. Thus lately I have been really into the solo guitar repertoire.Unfortunately, that repertoire is quite small. Does anyone have suggestions on recordings from the solo guitar repertoire? I am really interested in…See More

tom said… nice tunes. go listen to some mahler!! i suggest his 5th symphony, or 6th symphony, and get the scores from http://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Mahler,_Gustav
listen to the music, and follow the scores at the same time.... it opens up a whole new world of orchestration and musical gesture. in particular, check out the "adagietto" from his 5th symphony. beautiful!
