Mazurka Des Flammes Dansantes

Mazurka Des Flammes Dansantes is a poignant and melancholic piece for piano and violins, inspired by the emotional depth and rhythmic elegance of Chopin’s mazurkas. This evocative composition weaves a tale of flickering flames, symbolizing fleeting moments of passion, sorrow, and introspection.

The piano’s somber yet flowing lines blend seamlessly with the violins' expressive melodies, creating a haunting interplay of textures. The rhythm retains the dance-like structure of a mazurka while embracing a darker, more contemplative tone. Flourishes of vibrancy rise like flames, only to fade into the shadows of tender restraint.

Mazurka Des Flammes Dansantes is a masterful fusion of Romantic elegance and emotional complexity, a dance of light and shadow that lingers long after the final note.

Maybe One Day

Echos on a Frozen River

In 1997, I wrote the soundtrack for a movie being produced by members of the Jewish Anti-Defamation League, about Dachau.  For those that don't know, Dachau was the longest operation concentration camp run by the Nazis from 1933 to 1945.  Somewhere in the neighborhood of 30,000 people were systematically tortured and murdered in the camp.  This was to be the main title theme song, but alas, they dropped the project due to lack of money.  I've seen the first 20 minutes or so, and it's a real shame it wasn't finished.

I visited this camp, and I can tell you that it is one of the most unnerving experiences you'll ever have.  You can feel. touch and smell evil there, and the voices of its victims are still heard in and around the camp.   After I visited it, I sat on the curb in the parking lot and cried for a full 2 hours.
