This orchestral study begins with a thematic sketch made on piano (to see if the theme might have heft, when arranged for strings). It does not trouble me that the theme may seem a little trite or anaemic at the moment (in the absence of the orchestra). Curiously (counter-intuitively)...this piece works better without any piano at all. I can hear it in my head, for strings, woodwind and brass. What is going on here? What occurs, is that the complexity of nascent orchestral works are, in every example, an emergent property of the simplicity of the sketches which brought them into being.

My daughter's quote...






























"Angels talking through your music....."

I hope you will enjoy listening......

Thank you for your time here....

I am a composer of emotional, fantasy-inspired classical music that blends piano, orchestral textures, and ethereal atmospheres to evoke dreamlike worlds.
