"Sinfonietta" is roughly based on material from the composer's "Piano Sonata No. 6" and "Passacaglia", two works originally conceived and composed as part of one multi-movement work for piano.

Do Not Stand At My Grave and Weep (2014)

A WORLD UNFINISHED is modeled after the orchestral tone poems of Richard Strauss. The single-movement, continuously evolving composition is divided into two equal parts, each of which is comprised of two main sections, in total referencing truncated, highly compressed symphonic movements.
PART 1: Introduction Scherzo
PART 2: Adagio Klezmer Rondo
While there is no specific “story” behind the music, there is an extra-musical philosophical theme: the Jewish concept of Tikkun Olam (Repairing the World). To Jews, humanity was given an incomplete, broken world; it is our obligation to do what we can to reduce suffering, hatred and despair.

Polina Nazaykinskaya "Winter Bells" for orchestra

This concert overture was composed in the summer of 1984 while I was residing in Queens when Geraldine Ferraro became the first woman nominated to run for Vice-President on a major party line. The optimism and spirit of America is embodied in this work, which is one of the few works I composed that is in the populist Americana tradition of Copland, Piston, Jerome Moross and Elie Siegmeister.

This is the original version of the overture as it has since undergone an extensive revision. The new edition will receive its premiere in May 2023 by the Phoenix Symphony with Tito Muñoz conducting.

Allison Gish sings But Who May Abide from Handel's Messiah

I couldn't end 2019 without celebrating one of my most masterful arrangements of the year. Piemontesina is inspired by the Italian song "Piemontesina" made famous in Piedmont, Italy. This was originally written as a demo for a film set in that region, but now it's taken on a life of its own. Enjoy this orchestral work which tells a story of bliss, humor and mystery in a distant land, not too far away.
