"In Thoughts of All Those We Love" - A quiet musical tribute — composed for piano, cello, clarinet, and orchestra.

The piano opens gently, like an inner reflection. The cello responds with deep warmth, a voice drawn from memory. The clarinet adds a touch of light — a fragile spark between sorrow and solace. The orchestra unfolds with restraint, offering space and support, never overwhelming.

This piece is a tender greeting to those who have shaped our lives — near or far, present or remembered. A soundscape that doesn’t seek closure, but carries us forward. Between loss and connection, music emerges that remains.

In Thoughts Of All Those We Love

I. Tocata Grande do Saltério, anônima (Paranaguá, Séc.XVIII/XIX)
II. Passio, J.J.E. Lobo de Mesquita (Arraial do Tejuco, 1782)
III. Fuga, anônima (Mariana, Séc. XVIII)

Americantiga, reg. Ricardo Bernardes

Gravação ao vivo, Theatre Chatelet, Paris, 05/07/2025.

Os três movimentos da suíte são releituras livres de obras que circularam no Brasil Colonial, em distintas regiões. A “Tocata Grande do Saltério”, anônima, aparece na coleção de “Cifras de Música para Saltério”, de António Vieira dos Santos, em Paranaguá/ PR, no início do Séc. XIX. “Passio” vem de um breve moteto à capela que anuncia a “Paixão segundo S. Mateus”, dentro do Ofício de Domingo de Ramos, de 1782, de José Joaquim Emerico Lobo de Mesquita, a partir de cópias de Mariana e Diamantina/MG. A “Fuga” é a última parte, “In te Domine speravi”, de um “Te Deum” anônimo, cujo manuscrito está preservado em Mariana/MG, erroneamente atribuído a Manuel Dias de Oliveira. As obras originais apresentam estilos e formas contrastantes entre si, mas tem em comum o fato de fazerem parte do passado colonial brasileiro.

This is to Eva. I wrote a waltz for Ronny, her husband. She expressed that she also would like something similar.

Waltz for Eva

This is the second movement from my Sonata in Classical style. There is an extended cadenza,
making the setting more like a concertino. This is a sonata extended into concertino orchestration. The Major section is based openly on the style of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, but is not a direct quote. The sheet music is available at MusicforBrass.com
The painting is French Horn Player (La Corniste) by Mireille Rolland

I was listening to The Planets by Holst when I started this.  I was working at getting deeper chords and creating more of an atmosphere.
