Imagine a war torn City. A man is walking through the streets witnessing the carnage, death and destruction. He`s filled with emptiness, sadness and grief at the loss of his family, friends and loved ones, whilst also being filled with melancholy when he remembers how it used to be before the madness of war ensued. All the roads are dust laden, pale and grey, ashen. He walks Along The Ashen Road.

Lacrima De Virginem

Sonata In C Minor For Piano, Cello & Violin.

For all the souls who vanished into obscurity, who`s names aren`t even known. They were once children who laughed with friends and played all day in the summer sun, but are now the forgotten of society.

For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.  Matthew 25:35

Portrait Of A Forgotten Soul

This composition covers the passion of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It`s called "Via Dolorosa", Latin for "The Way Of Sorrow". It starts off by describing the long haul through the streets of Jerusalem as he carried the cross. The street is still there today and is visited by many Christian pilgrims. It then progresses to a more intense and dramatic theme as he approaches Golgotha (The place of the Skull) where he is nailed to the cross and then lifted up to be crucified. It culminates with a sad theme as he is dying as he suffocates under his own weight, which is how crucifixion killed the unfortunate souls who had to undergo this most terrible form of execution. And finally, it moves into a powerful finale as the mercy of God is poured out upon the world, forgiving all who would believe in the sacrifice of his only son.

But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. Isaiah 53:5

Via Dolorosa

This is a film score describing a chase on horse back in more ancient times. It has a Celtic feel to it with a jig in the beginning, which is reintroduced periodically through the score, with different variations of it. It describes the initial tension of being seen by the enemy, and then a more triumphant melody kicks in as they escape their pursuers.

Ghosts Of Autumn

This is a song I wrote for Manilyn Requejo Obal , an aspiring female artist from the Philippines. It`s a sad yet hopeful song describing the times in life when we can lose our way or hit rock bottom. The message is that you can start again no matter where you`ve been or what you`ve been through.

When I was a child, a young boy was playing a guitar that his sister had got for Christmas. He knew not how to play, but proceded to show me a song that he had composed. It conisted of only three notes, Top E, B and G, all open string, as was within his ability to manage. Recently (having the memory of an elephant)I remembered the tune the young boy had shown me. It was very simple, as one might expect from a young boy of around 4 years of age who knew not how to play, and somewhat sad due to the notes played and the slow tempo. The thought came to my mind, like a challenge I suppose, could I actually compose a piece of music based on these three simple notes in the tempo and rhythm in which they had been played. After struggling for some time due to its absolute simplicity I came up with this composition. It`s a strange one I guess, dark, sad and somewhat ominous, but nevertheless intriguing and compelling, to me at least. The actual tune composed by the young boy can be heard at the very begning after the inital piano chord intro, around 5 seconds in. Well, if anything it`s quite original and a true story. The name of the composition doesn`t actually mean anything, it just came to mind and sounded right for the composition. Hope you enjoy, thanks for listening.

The Ballad Of Misty Yohanan

An ethereal and passionate piece of music set to the tale of Branwen from the Welsh mythological tales of the Mabinogion.

The Song Of Branwen

Cân Branwen (The Song Of Branwen)

I`m a songwriter, composer, musician, who plays many instruments. Guitar (Lead & Rhythm) Keyboards, Drums, Tin Whistle, Harmonica (so, so) Vocalist.  
I love classical music (Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Bach, Handel, Haydn, Rachmaninov, Brahms, Barber and many many more) I love all styles of music, There is no such thing as a bad song, unless of course it is poorly sung, poorly written, and poorly played, but all songs are good, no matter what the style, it`s all a matter of taste otherwise. I love writing songs for people, and producing them, music is my passion.
