Valle de la Luna

An ambient (sort-of) piece for choir written in graphic score, inspired by the works of R. Murray Schafer. This work attempts to reimagine the opening of the traditional latin text "Sanctus." 
The whispers in altos and tenors read as follows:

Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus,
Dominus Deus Sabaoth

Text was created in the EastWest Wordbuilder and sung by the EastWest Symphonic Choirs and Voices of Passion. Enjoy

Ludwig Van Beethoven's Piano Sonata no. 14, "Quasi una fantasia" (Op. 27, no. 2), more popularly known as the "Moonlight Sonata," is a wonderful piece and poses many opportunities for the orchestrator to explore timbre and texture. The arrangement and orchestration presented here borrows on a few techniques of the great Isao Tomita, whose work inspired both conception and execution of this arrangement.

Hello all, I am a trombonist in the Atlanta area. I arrange, compose original works, conduct, teach, and perform on trombone. Music you see posted on this page will all be performed or contributed to by myself or close friends of mine in the world of performance music. Not all music will be trombone-centric, however most will be. 

"Art and music are fleeting, merely representing the point of divine inspiration, and artistic creation. It is our job to shape the air of these fleeting moments, and give credit to the muses who speak so seldom, and so intently."
