Music for Orchestra - Peggy's Garden

I haven’t been in for a while, initially having to do a revision/update course for work (a boring month if ever). Now VSL has broken down for no apparent reason and I’m still getting help. Lucky my income isn’t relying on it.

“Peggy’s Garden” is o

Fugal Fanfare

This week I did an arrangement of my Fugue in A for brass quintet, because I've always had a brass sound in mind when I first wrote it.

The music has been transposed to Bb in order to better suit brass instruments, and having 5 instruments to score fo

Symphony No. 1 in C Minor, Op. 2b (Sinfonia Solenne)

This work was begun in 2020 at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially it was to be an exercise in fugue writing, but I soon became captivated by the expressiveness of the counterpoint and shaped it into a long, one-movement polyphonic fantasia

Orchestral Suite in D

I recently finished this pseudo-Baroque orchestral suite. I think the results are mixed, but I'd be interested to hear anyone's thoughts. It's a bit, long, but I'd welcome comments on any of the movements. Thanks!

Piano piece in "ratio 2:3" and "hyperblue" scales

I've been working on a 31-tone piece based on the idea of interplay between some dorianish scales taken from here, so I'm looking for your thoughts (and shamelessly hoping to encourage some of you to play with exotic scales and temperaments, I think

Fugue in A

You knew what was coming when your resident fugologist shows up after months of absence, didn't you?

Been a little quiet around here! I'll share my latest writing- There is nothing particularly ground breaking here, but I wanted to work on my ability to write for a small ensemble before tackling larger groups. The best way to describe this is an att

String Quartet No. 1 in A Minor, Op. 1

Andaluza (de Falla Orchestration)

I don't think I ever posted this before on the forums, but I spent most of this week reworking an orchestration I did a couple years ago of "Andaluza" from the piano suite, Cuatro Piezas Espanolas by de Falla.
