Performed by
Misty Theisen - flute
Alan Theisen - alto saxophone.

Reems Creek Idyll was composed for Misty and Alan Theisen in the Spring of 2016. It is a pastoral work meant to evoke images of the Reems Creek Valley in North Carolina where the Theisens reside. The calls of two local birds (Carolina Chickadee & Tufted Titmouse)have been incorporated into the work as well.

Reems Creek Idyll is meant to be part of my Open Piece series of works that can be performed by any group of instruments. This work can be performed by any two quarter tone capable treble clef instruments.

Reems Creek Idyll

I am a composer of new music or contemporary classical music whatever name you like or whichever carries the least amount of baggage in your mind. I don't care which term you use but please take a moment to listen to my works.

I currently reside in Gateswood, Alabama with my wife , Cheryl, and our son, Asa. 

I love chamber music. I write lots of it. In fact that is the only music I have written so far. Mainly it's because I've known so many great performers and I've had the opportunity to compose for them.

If you want any scores or have any questions just let me know. 
Hopefully soon I will have more recent works on the site.
