Andante-Allegro

At a gentle Walking Pace with Gathering Momentum Remix July 29

A fairly uninhibited venture into traditional tonal Melodic-Harmonic territory in which the object of the exercise was to please the senses with completely recognisable tonal stimuli, this track is a reworking of f,,,Mmm,m,mmmm a piece I composed originally in 2019. In the current revision I could not resist the impulse to make several 'daring' modulations which may place more of a burden on the listener than was my original intention
I made use in this case of the eMastered online mastering service.

Recapitulations 1 August

This piece is a Rondo following fairly closely a classical ABACACABA form, but it is far from traditional rondos in its harmonic and rhythmic character using augmented triads in a very percussive style. 
The two interspersed episodes (B and C in the pattern I referred to above) are more melodic although still quite dissonant These passages are repeated exactly when they recur but the A section which is easily recognisable by its reliance on the strings is subject to development throughout.
I have made use of Emastering online mastering service for the current version.

Rondo 8 August Revised and Mastered 13 August 2023

This piece is a remix of my piece 'Rondo'  using a wide range of samples and along with the software Noteperformer to get a very different outcome whose divergence from the original astonishes me
Rondo follows fairly closely a classical ABACACABA form, but far from traditional rondos in its harmonic and rhythmic character Rondo uses augmented triads and whole tone scales in an unusual percussive way
The two interspersed episodes (B and C in the pattern I referred to above) are more melodic although still quite dissonant These passages are repeated exactly when they recur but the A section which is easily recognisable by being carried by the strings is subject to development throughout.

Rondo Remix 16 August 2023

Schloss Lichtenstein

I was preparing the solo horn instrument in EW-Hollywood Brass Orchestral library for use in the Dorico notation program  when this tune started to coalesce around various great sounding horn samples and this Solo came into being almost accidentally.

For Solo Horn

Solo in a contemporary style for Trombone encompassing a riddle.
(N.B.My attention has been drawn to the fact that this piece may not be playable at this tempo by a real trombonist in which case I would advise a slower tempo e.g. 105-110bpm insteadof 120bpm)

The Pilgrims Walrus for Solo Trombone: A Nominal Riddle (Revised 4 December 2023 Tempo110bpm)

A short venture into atonality after a long sojourn in the tonal sphere. Instrumentation: Harpsichord Celeste Horn Tubular Bells and oboe and Base Clarinet

Adagio responding to international events suggests to me the question; 'Is catharsis a valid aim in music today'
This piece was mastered by John Cafarella

Adagio for Our Times (Remix VIII 3 December 2023)

This is a variation of a sort on a musical fragment which appears in the theme music for the TV series 'All Creatures great and Small' and also in the first movement of my Tripartite Fantasy and is constructed as a free flowing set of improvisations on a simple basic idea This simple idea is treated in a linear polyphonic way resulting in a texture which moves between consonant and dissonant harmony ending on a C major chord.
This is an updated revision of the original track using different samples.
This version was mastered by John Cafarella
