Short Orchestral benediction with Trumpet solo fitting the needs for a very short conclusion piece for military or civil services.

Benediction ('Soldier's Benediction)

Water has a natural boundless vitality, refreshing to our eyes as it leaps and casts itself with abandon into thin air from lofty places.  It is no wonder the ancients could sense its life...its unique song...and how it danced about in streams, waterfalls and fountains.  The Greeks gave this beauty a name, 'Naiads' a type of water nymph, a female spirit who presides over fountains, springs, brooks, streams and other bodies of fresh water.  If you observe carefully, you might hear their sparkling songs as they dance and swirl along their carefree way.

This original neo-romantic piano composition, "Danse de l'eau des Naiades" (Water Dance of the Naiads) in D minor, was inspired by the works of the late Romantic/Impressionist period composers, who captured natural sounds within their hearts and shared their beauty with their scores.

When writing music, exploring new directions, a composer  will invariably open with  fresh perspectives using unusual rhythms and tempi...with interesting instrument combinations.  It was this direction with inspiration from Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Ravel, Barber and others of the modernist schools that I loaded my pallet. My 'Syncopated Winter Song' (Chanson d'hiver syncopée) is scored in B minor with a rather unusual time signature of 9/8 which lends a slightly offset cadence. With the Clarinet hovering above, with its soothing effect, adds a cohesive dynamic to the score.

This remix of a score I wrote in 2011 places the piano in a large dance hall...which adds to the 'dusty memories' of an idealized period of Vienna's history, when the waltz and champagne were flowing freely.

I wrote this short Organ Voluntary in memory of Arthur Thomas Talbert, my organ instructor, pedagogue and dear friend.  His willingness to share the beauty of sacred music when I was a boy has lasted a lifetime.  'Nos cris pour l'eau de guérison du paradis' op. 10 voluntary in F minor is to his lasting memory....
