Written with love using a musical cipher to produce leitmotifs for my SO.

Piano Sonata - Mvt.1 Lullaby

The second and final movement of the piano sonata. It contains quotes from some of my past favorite works by other composers, such as Rachmaninov and Stravinsky, along with the same cryptographic leitmotifs used in the first movement.

Quintet No 1 - Mvt 2 Furioso (1 Flute) Finished

The completed second movement to the Quintet I've been writing.
The quintet - Prelude and Furioso - includes at atmospheric prelude and a rhythmically driven second movement which is at times tumultuous, graceful, soaring, and strained.
Written in a variety of unconventional modes, most containing nine, ten, or eleven notes per octave, this piece is my most tonally complex to date, though it remains loosely tethered to the tonalities set forth by the individual melodies.
In my usual style for small ensembles, this piece relies largely upon rather complex polyphonic discourse and melodic "baton passing", interspersed with the occasional homophonic interruptions.
