This little piece was composed for my Modal Composition class at Humber. We had to choose a mode to write within...I chose the F dorian mode, and because Josh my son was at the time playing Bach's Gavotte in C minor, it was in my head. So here's a little Bach-a-la-Dorian! 

It's scored for 2 flutes, piano, electric keyboard, bass, percussion, 2 violins & cello.

Here's a little harmonic exploration, centered around the feelings of fall -- thanksgiving, reflection, a quieting down of sorts, and the pull homeward.

Fall Finds Me Home, piano

This year's Christmas contemplation...Christmas morning!  There's so much anticipation for it, which is really a deeper anticipation for Christ, who breaks our darkness and brings light. "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning!"

"Eureka!" - ambient, slow discovery

This is a comical 2-part setting of the A. A. Milne poem, HAPPINESS. It uses unison and easy two part singing with piano accompaniment, and an ideal voice range for young singers to make a quality choral piece for teaching and performing. This is a part of Gerda Blok-Wilson's developing choir repertoire. Digital downloads are available through SHEET MUSIC PLUS and SHEET MUSIC DIRECT.
