String Instrument Works

I've been wanting to make a cello violin duet for years and I'm happy to say the first movement is complete!

Tbh, I had a crush on this cellist I went to highschool with, and she has a sister that happened to play violin. 
(Extremely Talented)

So when I had started writing music I realized, I should write something and ask her to play it and I'd have it recorded.

I totally never approached her with it 😂.

New - Strings Duet Sonatina Op. 4, No.9 .I 127QN BPM DM

I first wrote this piece maybe 5 years ago? 

It was a part of a series I was making on the color spectrum and this was called Black. 

I'm so happy I was able to turn it into what it is now, I love the melody and the concept.

Wrestling - String Duet | Variations On Three Themes Op.4, No.2 Between Fm & EM 60BPM

This is the strings-only version of My Agnus Dei.

June 2022

Heck it, make it wacky.



April 2024

This is actually the very first piece I wrote for a crush lmao. The cellist of course.

Feelings are weird aren't they. 


She was so talented it was always a sight to behold hearing and watching her play.





Sass! - Impromptu Violin & Cello Duet Op. 4, No. 5 Am/CM BPM Qt = 120

The inspiration for this piece is actually the bass line at the end of.

Mozart's Concerto No. 23 in A major, 'Adagio' K. 488

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8OE8MywtTI&ab_channel=Thewisemonkey9

One of my favorite pieces from Mozart.

I'm also falling back in love with the Fugue musical form and maybe making more, but I am glad I'm getting better at polyphony and having something brand new instead of something from long ago.

Groovy Fugue - Fugue For 5 Strings VlnVaVcVcCb Op. 4, No. 3 F#m BPM Qt = 120

Last piece I wrote when I was healing, things were so much better then.

Things lately have been difficult and breaking me mentally.

Grey Introspection Canon Study 2 - Canon String Quartet VlnVlaVc1Vc2 Op. 4, No. 2 Am BPMQT=45

Hope Of Strings | 13 - Piece Symphony Impromptu Variation Op. 5 No. I, CM BPM  QT=80

I wanted to arrange my Canon for strings, seems the most fitting considering I borrowed the theme.

Pachelbel Canon In D Study  Arrangement - Canon String Trio, Vln Vla Vlc Op.6, No.2 DM BPM QT=85

2019?
It feels finished to me now, but I don't want to listen to it at all. Not sure why.


May 2022

I think I found out why I didn't want to listen to it, it was too comfortable for how I was feeling when I wrote it.

It wasn't having a hard time, I was.

A Brief Period of Madness | Eight Part Orchestra Op.1, No.6 Moderato C#m

This was an externalization pivotal personal death in my life.

It's a breakup song if you've ever heard one.

I actually repurposed this piece after I broke up with my first girlfriend.

For most people this would be no big deal, but, this break up was probably the single most consciously painful and likely one of the most important things I have ever experienced to this day. (May 2022)

If it wasn't for the pain, which I believe shocked me awake from my almost endless disassociation, I likely wouldn't have been able to eventually leave my abusive family situation and be free like I had dreamed since I was 10.

Her name was Elyse, and though this is a very difficult piece to listen to, I am forever grateful for the gift she unknowingly gave me.

I am glad I can appreciate it now and will never forget it.  

Why?! | String Sextet & Piano Op.1, No.7 Adagio Atonal

Another Revamp. 

When I wrote this it was of my first compositions with StaffPad (really cool app btw), and It is made of pure excitement and joy of actually being able to write music by hand and hear it in real-time.

I probably wrote it in 2017.

Bubbly | String Trio & Oboe Op.1, No.8 BPM 123 C#M

Finally a more recent piece.

I wrote a lot of my works with an intense feeling of loneliness and melancholy, this one is no exception.

I was very alone at night with this piece, honestly this is something I never thought I would share.

It's one of those feelings of being alone when surrounded by people. 

These people were my family, they had left the house for over 8 hours and I think it was 4th of July.

I had no friends and even if I did wouldn't be allowed to hang out with them anyway, my siblings and I would never be allowed to be with our friends, in fact, one of my siblings was punished for it so I never bothered.

Walk (Or Lovely Stroll) | Duet Guitar & Piano Op.1, No.9 Lento EbM

Just the symphonic transcription of the piano sonata movement Anguish.

Anguish Piano Sonata Transcription For String Quartet Op.2, No.10 .II Lento F#m

This is an arrangement, not enough space to put it in the title lol. A very personal piece to me.

I honestly can't believe how much this blew up! Thank you all for the listens.

Maybe someday I'll talk about the motivation behind it.

Variations on a Theme from Avatar The Last Air Bender Op.2, No.10 .III 20 BPM CM E Phrygian Mode

This piece is to commemorate the day I left my abusive family of origin.

I believe it was my birthday when I wrote this.

It took a while for the sadness to not taint this for me after I wrote it. 

Now I listen to this piece every March 28th at roughly 5pm. 

That was the day and time I left, the year was 2020, and I never looked back since.

I became free.
