Stringed Lament

Leapfrog Nighttime:Meteor Shower

Originally composed for the 8-Bit Music Theory weekly challenge - A Temporary Dabble in Cryptozoology.  

Regarding the title: Last year I had so much fun creating my Halloween piece Pumpkin Hollow that I decided then and there that I would make it an annual tradition, in part as a way to measure my growth as a music-maker. And in true Halloween franchise tradition, I was to make each piece a sequel, no matter how thematically different each one might be. So expect Pumpkin Hollow 3 next year (and who knows what genre it'll be)!

Pumpkin Hollow 2: Night of the Jersey Devil

World premiere performance by Gothia Concentus conducted by Emanuel Kling, May 2018.

Sheet music available from Carlssons Kluster:

This piece was commissioned by Gothia Concentus, Sweden's largest amateur orchestra, as an original concert work addition to their 2017-2018 project focusing on music from science fiction films and video games.

This is my tribute to the genre that brought me so many wonderful musical highlights.
