Chorale Etude: an Experiment in Structure

An experiment in structure formed by a 34 bar chorale harmonised mainly by major chords organised into sequences obeying fibonacci and lucas series in duration time. The structure is tripartite consisting of fragments of the chorale theme with repetition and variation followed by a statemant of the full chorale theme and finishing with a return to the first section fragmentation with a short coda.

This is a remix of my piece 'Minor Ninths a Study for Orchestra' this time using a sample library from East West (EWQLSO Gold) instead of the Noteperformer program used in the original. i have also used the automatic mastering facility on sale at www.emaster.com to achieve a better overall audio mix 
Land production.
I should add that Minor Ninths draws on the composers Bruckner Haydn and Sibelius though in some cases the affinity might not be evident.

Night of Golden Stars

Night of Golden Stars Remix 30 December 2022 using Noteperformer

My 'Adagio for Expanded Chamber Orchestra' draws heavily on the music of the late romantic composers Bruckner Wagner and Mahler but does its (acknowledged)borrowing in a uniquely improvisational and individualistic style style for which I make no apology.
The music in this piece is sometimes dramatic, and as the piece unfolds, its structure in terms of the golden section durations it employs become evident and I hope pleasing to the listener
This track was mastered by John Cafarella.

Andante-Allegro

At a gentle Walking Pace with Gathering Momentum Remix July 29

This is a fairly complete revision of the original upload of August 2022. It is a jubilant piece that needs to be taken in its own terms. The musical vocabulary in this piece is very conservative and it obeys conventional structural norms. This version was mixed down using Noteperformer Sample library interacting with Hollywood Orchestra Opus Edition and is being subjected to ongoing revision.
This track is mastered by John Cafarella.
