Name: Short Songs For Solo Violoncello No. 1 by Juan Ismael Maldonado
Duration: 10 min 30 s
Description: This piece is a collection of 10 one-minute songs for solo violoncello. It was written using the BACH theme as its main source of thematic material. The letters in BACH each represent a note: B=Bb, A=A, C=C, and H=B. Many techniques are used and some of the movements were inspired by other composers such as Benjamin Britten and Serban Nichifor.

The Second Movement of "Atlantean Trilogy", a tone poem written for the symphony orchestra. This movement depicts an Atlantean Festival in full swing, the decay and corruption of the island society, and the beginnings of militaristic conquest.

Atlantean Trilogy - Movement II: Corruption Ascends

A "main title" work for my premiere album Music for Imaginary Films.
The imaginary film here is a family dramedy titled Greg the Gardener.

This music evokes the macabre overtones of a Tim Burton film before launching into a semi-comical march toward a tale of a semi-recluse with a thing for plants. And a new family just moved in next door.
