Taking us there

New & hot: Classical

Here are some examples of my serious stuff.  This music is not consciously  written for support of any other media, but for concert performance (some has been performed in the US, Scandinavia, and the UK).  The exceptions are BQ1, which is an exercise in Baroque counterpoint, and "feel", and "Hymnal" , which is also an exercise.  The "Classical" string quartet Is actually called the "Ferry" quartet, and was written as a present to a friend, and his family. who like the Viennese style.  The choral pieces represent a small sample of what is by far my largest output, and all have been performed both in concert, and as service music.  With the exception of the "Magnificat", the choral tracks are recordings from live performances.

March 2014 - Dedicated to the people of Ukraine. 

Dancing With Destiny (Dedicated to the people of Ukraine)

This is a four part polyphonic piece, written in strict counterpoint.  The recording is from a performance at Harvard U, and sung by "The Spectrum Singers".

"Ave Maria" (Motet in four parts, a cappella.)

Short cue with a Celtic "feel".  Scored for harp and 4 violin sections.

"Firth of Forth"

As Time Goes By

The Long Road Home

Neo-romantic string quartet.  3rd movement. I wrote this upon the death of my beloved cousin Johan.

SQ.3  Neo-Romantic String quartet 3rd. movement

I wanted a more contemplative, and measured exposition of the text, rather than excessively jubilant, which is so often the case.

"Hodie Christus natus est" (Motet in four parts, a cappella.)

SECRET (coeurs Lena ) 
https://soundcloud.com/user-262019520
trop tôt pour choisir
j'ai du louper mon chemin
ne l'ai pas vu passer ou partir
je traine un peu dans tous les coins
parfois, il m'arrive d'être triste
enfermé dans un sous marin 
rêveur et pacifiste
j'aime pas l'invasion des terriens

tu sais je te le dis c'est un secret
dans ma classe j'étais le dernier
je préfère clown que clone
heureux, malheureux, je ne sais pas
difficile de compter sur quoi
ou de faire le bon choix
sensible jusqu'au bout des doigts
on me prend pour n'importe quoi !

My true family is all the inhabitants
off the ground
because, I know that since always
blood is red for every one

tout feux éteint dans ce tunnel
je ne vois pas encore le jour
pourtant j'entend très bien qu'on m'appelle
mais n'arrive pas à faire demi tour
c'est vrai je suis un peu rebel
un apprenti troubadour
face à ce monde cruel
je crois je n'en ai pas fait le tour

tu sais je te le dis une dernière fois
dans ma classe j'étais le dernier, rigolo
et dans la vie, bien galéré
sorti de l'école sans identité
à la recherche d'un boulot
ma sensibilité mise de coté
je me suis un peu égaré....

Secret

This is a piece of piano with orchestral arrangements.  It's kind of a romantic-classical piano. This work is intended to be heard contemplating the moon under a starry sky. Thank you so much to all as always.

The Wonder in Her Eyes (collaboration with Annie Smart)

A Dream of Spring

Traditional motet.  It is rather contrapuntal, using all the traditional techniques, imitation, canon etc. and is written in strict adherence to "rules" of range, leaps, parallels etc.   I have written quite a lot of this kind of stuff for use in the service of the Anglican church.

"Tui Sunt Caeli" (Motet in five parts, a cappella)

Moonlight Dancing

glimmer

a magical place

Written in response to a listing from Taxi, for a mournful piece for strings.

Elegie For Strings

It is said that the Holy City of Benares (बनारस), India, is so ancient that it is held by the Gods themselves and that its visitors leave a part of their soul while passing through. What they bring back in return is unclear, but those who have been there could tell you that it has something to do with…magic!
For his first release, producer David Mears presents his debut track, “Varanasi”, as well as two variations. The first one is a an orchestral piece combining originals sounds from his personal footage shot in Varanasi, hang drum tunes (played by him), poignant cellos and clarinets. The second, “Sian Rava”, tells the story of a farmer meeting his past lives in the deep forests of Northern Thailand.
To complete this exciting yet intense musical journey, we cross mountains, jungles, oceans and continents to finally reach South America where the artists, Gama (Brazil) and Barda (Argentina), offer us their own reinterpretation of Mears’ pieces: as the first reshapes “Sian Rava” in order to plunge even deeper into the dark meanders of the soul and the latter turns “Varanasi” into a joyful chant led by the artist Gus’ voice, bringing the EP to a bright and colourful ending.

Lyrics and Vocals by Wild Christopher (https://soundcloud.com/wild-christopher-lyrics)

“High Wire”

Been feeling like a flame in the wind just burning out
Not sure who to blame but I never been a boy scout
All my friends say it’s time to settle down
But I like being free
Need to live my life, just being me
Even if I don’t know what that means

When all my plans backfire
And the stakes go higher and higher
I tip toe on the high wire

All the years now haven’t learned a thing
Still want to be the guy to pull all the strings
Just keep walking, see what tomorrow brings
I have to decide do I walk or grow some wings 
Maybe I’ll fly 
Maybe I fly one last time
One last time


If all my plans backfire
And all the stakes go higher and higher
I have a strong desire to dance
Tip toe, tip toeing on the high wire

-solo-

I know one day I’ll probably fall
One wrong step and I’ll lose it all
Hear a chorus of I told you so’s
But it’s the only way I know to go
Still here putting on my show
On the high wire
On the high wire

And all my plans backfire
Feel the stakes go higher and higher
I tip toe on the high wire

Camille Saint-Saëns: Introduction Rondo Capriccioso in A minor Op. 28 Syntheway Strings VST Software

Check out my smile and smell the posies
And take the front seats
Now get ready to applaud

You truly are looking fantastic
Slightly plastic
Lets just say it, I'm a fraud

CHORUS
You realised I'm ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-charming
Now you're paralysed by my ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-charming

Every cloud has a silver lining
Mine needs refining
But I'll dance on anyway

Please take my hand for quite a journey
Got to get up early
But thanks again for the fun play

CHORUS

8Dio Claire Clarinet: "Étude de Claire" by Colin O'Malley

They, they stand on giants
And in defiance ignore science to stand high
And despite a lack of stature
And in a rapture escape capture quick bye bye

So slight of dwarven nature
They're bound to hate your normal features on your face
A jealous streak an evil person
He leaves a curse on witch and her son, what a waste

CHORUS
So quiet as the angels sleep
They're naked so the elves can peep
And end up in a sweaty heap
For when the siblings come of age
They colour green then colour beige
The relevance is hard to gauge
So come on, come on we're never gonna break this
So come on, come on, we're never gonna make this

We, we stand on fairies
Eating berries, lose our cherries when we can
Their wings all bent and broken
And I'm chocking on these folk please pass one more
