A solo piano piece accompanying a leisurely walk on a cool evening in Paris. A mixture of influences  from impressionist composers and cool jazz. Feel the warm air and beauty of such a romantic city, while strolling by the Seine.

Une promenade nocturne à paris

This piece is about releasing anything, or anyone, that has a negative effect on your well-being. Holding onto anything that brings us down is only going to make ourselves feel worse. We only have ourselves to answer to which is why we must let go of things that do not bring us happiness, harmony and calm.

Mindful music #1

A joyful piano piece intended to invoke a happy feeling. Inspired by ragtime and French impressionist piano composers. A little light relief for the moment.

Joie De Vivre

A solo piano piece depicting a peaceful dream during an afternoon nap. Feeling good, calm, relaxed and peaceful while the images drift by. Take some time out.

Daydream

Tennyson's First Symphony is an elemental symphonic work inspired and written during the worldwide pandemic of 2020.

Reviews:

"An organic stream-of-consciousness form, kinetic, drenched in the energy of life..." 

“Tennyson is a musical revolutionary. Symphony No. 1 is destined to be an iconoclastic, ineluctable 21st-century work of art...”

“...he (Tennyson) exhibits a great deal of motivic unity throughout both movements and a connective harmonic language of his own.”

Tennyson Symphony No. 1

mémoires vives

A peaceful depiction of leaves falling in autumn. The colors, the quiet in the forest, as the leaves gently fall on top of each other. The sun on the gold and brown. The trees shedding, becoming bare. The warmth of wearing a jacket and hat. A fresh season. Everyone's favorite.

Falling Leaves

My life is about music. I play it, I teach it, I love it. I am surrounded by music of all types and especially inspired by those who compose with passion. The music you hear on my page will have been composed at some point in my life and for some reason. I hope you enjoy my music and feel free to contact me if you want the sheet music for any of the pieces.
