Sheet Music

Kuitra by Kevin J. Cope

This piece was written as an elegy for my cousin that died tragically in 2014. 

Twilight At The Dawn for solo guitar

This track was originally going to be on my upcoming CD, and the piece will, but I had to rerecord the whole CD due to an unfortunate accident with my guitar (I hit it off of a table!). While it's been getting fixed for a long time I got a new guitar and rerecorded the tracks that I had completed for continuity of sound. So this one is now an alternate take from the CD.

Destination Unknown

Solstices - For "Destination Unknown" CD - unmastered

The third of a set of five studies focusing on techniques suggested by fellow guitarists.

Study III (Walking Bass Line) from Five Studies

The second movement of my Quatre pieces breves (yes, it's named in honor of Martin's piece). This one has become one of my favorite pieces that I've written. A little gem that I had thought was too crazy, but now I love it!

Toccata from Quatre pieces breves (by Kevin J. Cope)

The third movement of my Quatre pieces breves (yes, it's named in honor of Martin's piece). A great waltz-like piece if I'm being honest. Super fun to play!

The third movement of Suite No. 1, a set of Latin themed dances with a touch of the Middle East ans well as other influences. This one is a gem with a touch of the Baroque in it. Can you tell what the key change is? I'm proud of this one.

Medianoche Habanera from Suite No. 1 for solo guitar

One of my crowning achievements of solo guitar composition, this pieces utilizes an Arabian-type mode to create a deceptive harmony (it sounds Major-ish but the mode is actually minor-ish).  Listen for long enough to hear the raucous middle section!

Kuitra

Folie Circulaire - performed by Philip Goldenberg

A little taste of what I'm working on for my next CD. This is the third movement of a set of pieces for guitar ensemble titled, "Dis Sacrificium," which translates to "A Sacrifice to the Gods." Each short movement is named for and written to summon the imagery of a Roman god. Vulturnus is the god of the East wind.

III. Vulturnus from Dis Sacrificium

A little taste of what I'm working on for my next CD. This is the first movement of a set of pieces for guitar ensemble titled, "Dis Sacrificium," which translates to "A Sacrifice to the Gods." Each short movement is named for and written to summon the imagery of a Roman god. Viduus is the god that separates the soul from the body upon death.

Origin Unknown: A Pole Was Journeying (Clarinet & Guitar)

An excerpt of "Newton's Cradle" (guitar duo) from my upcoming CD "Origin Unknown" which will be released in early 2020.

This was just recording and this is therefore a quick mix. No noise removal, EQ, etc.
