This is the hymn tune Hyfrydol written by Rowland H. Prichard in 1830. The meter is 8.7.87 D. It is often the tune used for the hymn texts "Alleluia! Sing to Jesus", Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus", and "Love Divine, All Loves Excelling" among others. This tune is the public domain.  I have reharmonized it with jazz chords and added two piano solos at the end.

Jazzy and flowing music track on a beautiful Yamaha digital grand piano with brushes on a snare drum under the improvised piano solo. The re-harmonized melody breathes new life into this classic hymn. Original solos end this piece.

Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus

A jazz reharmonization of the classic children's song "Jesus Loves Me".  Jazzy and flowing music track on a beautiful Yamaha digital grand piano. The re-harmonized melody breathes new life into this classic children's hymn making it appealing to adults as well. Evokes feelings of hope and calm. 

Intended for a church service communion or meditation time.

Jesus Loves Me (Jazz Piano)

Inspired by a video game soundtrack (can you guess which one?). Using Japanese -style cinematic harmony, this piece is based on a short motive that I created one afternoon.

Mellow and delicate music track on a beautiful Yamaha grand piano. The bell-like notes are reminiscent of a music box. The melancholic and dreamy mood will evoke feelings of sadness and hope.

Peace Be With You

This is an instrumental improvisation on the piano of my new song, Peace Be With You.

Peace Be With You (Piano)

A voyage on a small boat through the ocean with waves that become larger and larger at nighttime. This piece starts calm with a serene flute accompanied by harp arpeggios. The clarinet and the oboe join in harmony just before the waves become more intense. The strings enter to depict the boat being rocked by the waves as they become louder and then quieter. The piece ends with all the instruments conversing as the boat passes the lighthouse and reaches the shore of the voyager's home.

Expanded version, however not the final.

Happy Birthday/Clair De Lune

My entry for the 2023 Symphonina contest. I did not win, however writing this brought a lot of joy to me, my friends, and family.

I. Romanze (0:00)
- based on the Romanze movement of Chopin’s Piano Concerto in E minor. This also has a Final Fantasy VII influence.

II. Palmisano (3:31)
- about the nature park in my neighborhood that my daughters and friends play in. The middle section is about watching a butterfly land on a flower and fly away.

III. Fantasie (6:19)
- a mashup of themes I wrote at age 13. I always wanted to score a fantasy tv show, so I’m thrilled to have orchestrated these 20 year old compositions.

Lyrics
Oh come let us sing, let us come into His presence
Oh come to the rock of our salvation
Oh come to the King, let us make a joyful noise
May we be a thankful generation!

We sing to You for You are great, God
You know us through and through
We worship You, all powerful King
You’re our shepherd, You’re our Savior
We follow You

O come, worship Him, let us bow down to our Maker
Oh come let us kneel before our shepherd
Oh come, follow him, do you hear him calling for you?
His salvation is for you, ha-ave you heard?

We sing to You for You are great, God
You know us through and through
We worship You, all powerful King
You’re our shepherd, You’re our Savior
We follow You

Do not harden your hearts today, if you hear His voice
We all like sheep have gone astray
He loves you so, He answers your prayers, He knows your heart
Let us rejoice, let us sing, let us bring Him all our praise

We sing to You for You are great, God
You know us through and through
We worship You, all powerful King
You’re our shepherd, You’re our Savior...
We sing to You for You are great, God
You know us through and through
We worship You, all powerful King
You’re our shepherd, You’re our Savior
We follow You

Oh come, let us sing, let us come into His presence
