Seclusion

Crystalline Structures 1.

This was my first full orchestral piece. It was commissioned by the Cannon Valley Orchestra in 1980. I was 19. 

Each movement of the piece was inspired by a different early 20th century technique and composer. 
I. Brass Chorale - inspired by Stravinsky and using "wrong note" harmony. 
II. Nocturne - Inspired by Ives and using twelve note chords. Scored for strings and solo trumpet. 
III. Scherzo - inspired by Bartok (maybe too literally) and using modalism and more wrong note harmony.

This is a short experiment with Fibonacci numbers in an avant garde context. I may do a few more of these in differing ways.

Rain Country - Copy

This was my final project in Contemporary Harmony 2 at Berklee in 1981. I always thought it was kinda bad and so never really pursued a performance but now I'm kinda liking it.
