New piano composition composed 9/11/2013.  Tentative arrangement.

In a time when the world is too easily focused on the differences between different people and cultures and fear of the unknown, online communities such as SoundCloud are amazing places for people from all over the world to come together and celebrate life and the gift of music.

Places like this allow artists to sincerely and honestly share their talents in an uncompromised manner with whomever would listen. This is possible regardless of who the artist is, where they are from, what level of marketing savvy they posses, or what degree of support they have from the entrenched entertainment establishment that purports to dictate what is cool, trending, and marketable.  It allows sincerity to triumph and for real people to find other real people wherever they are.  It allows people to potentially expand their concept of friendship and family from the microcosm of the self to the macrocosm of the global village. It allows us all to focus on our shared commonalities and better believe in the innate goodness in all humans via uniting in our shared passion for the universal language of music.

Special thanks to Loredana whose smile and free spirit can light up a room even from 5,000 miles away.  Of all the amazing people in the world, the D-Flat Major women are some of the truly special ones:

Andrew Souter -- Smile From Afar

Peter Boyer's Symphony No. 1 was commissioned by the Pasadena Symphony, and premiered by that orchestra under his direction in April 2013. The three-movement, 24-minute symphony is dedicated to the memory of Leonard Bernstein. This is the first movement, "Prelude."

The symphony is the centerpiece of a new recording of Boyer's music by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by the composer at historic Abbey Road Studio One in 2013. Released worldwide by Naxos in its American Classics Series in February 2014, the recording also includes four other Boyer orchestral works. It has been broadcast on over 150 radio stations around the U.S. and abroad.

"Boyer, who claims more than 300 performances by more than 100 orchestras, writes in a fluent, powerful style that fuses conservative American currents with Hollywood-ish size and populist sentiment... eloquent, spaciously recorded performances…"
-- Gramophone

"Like all of the music on this disc, the symphony is tuneful, expertly crafted, colorfully scored… Boyer knows what he wants, and how to do it. This very well engineered disc is lots of fun, and a really good listen."
-- ClassicsToday.com

"The performances here are simply superb, showing off [Boyer's] engaging and easily accessible cinematic style. This is certainly a recording that should have broad appeal, and one which you will likely find yourself returning to time and again. The music is brilliantly orchestrated with engaging thematic ideas and a fine sense of dramatic shape."
-- Cinemusical

"Classical music listeners apprehensive about 'new music' have nothing to fear, and everything to love, about Peter Boyer. The American composer writes music in a neo-romantic style with an unabashedly direct and popular appeal… His Symphony No. 1, a tribute to his muse Leonard Bernstein, is a stirring work, filled with soaring, 'American sounding' themes and propulsive rhythms… a recording that’s sure to win him many new fans."
-- WRTI (Philadelphia), New Releases

Expressions and Abstractions

Every year in early January I get that deep, strange feeling of melancholy... I don't know the reasons, but the best thing then is to take a warm bath and waiting better days to come ...

Yundi Li plays Chopin's   Piano Concerto No  1 in E minor, Op  11, 2nd Movement Romance   Larghetto

The works of GRAMMY®-nominated composer Peter Boyer have received over 400 public performances by nearly 150 orchestras, and thousands of broadcasts on classical radio stations around the U.S. and abroad. He has conducted recordings of his music with three of the world's finest orchestras: the London Symphony Orchestra, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Philharmonia Orchestra. His works have appeared on the Naxos American Classics, BSO Classics, Koch International Classics, Albany Records, FWSO Live, and Propulsive Music labels.

Conductor Keith Lockhart chose Boyer for the Boston Pops’ 125th anniversary commission honoring the legacy of John, Robert, and Ted Kennedy. The premiere of Boyer’s "Kennedy Brothers" in 2010, narrated by Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, and Ed Harris, was attended by members of the Kennedy family, and received extensive national media attention. The Boston Pops also performed the work on their Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular for an audience of over 750,000; gave it two separate telecasts; performed it at Tanglewood with narrator Alec Baldwin; and released its recording.

Boyer’s major work "Ellis Island: The Dream of America" has received over 160 live performances by 70 different orchestras, making it one of the most-performed American orchestral works of the last decade. His recording on the Naxos label was nominated for a GRAMMY® Award for Best Classical Contemporary Composition.

In addition to his work for the concert hall, Boyer is active in the film and television music industry. He has contributed orchestrations to more than 30 film scores by top Hollywood composers, including "Finding Dory" and "Skyfall" (composer Thomas Newman), "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2" (composer James Newton Howard), "The Amazing Spider-Man" (composer James Horner), "Jurassic World," "Inside Out," the Oscar-winning "Up," "Star Trek," "Mission: Impossible III," "John Carter," "Super 8," "Cars 2" (composer Michael Giacchino), "Dolphin Tale" (composer Mark Isham) and "Arthur Christmas" (composer Harry Gregson-Williams). Boyer has twice arranged music for the Academy Awards, and composed music for The History Channel; his music has appeared in the AETN Production Music Library, several short films, and various television programs.

In recent seasons, Boyer has served as Composer-in-Residence of the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra (2010-11) and the Pasadena Symphony (2012-13). He holds the Helen M. Smith Chair in Music at Claremont Graduate University.  His latest commercial recording, featuring his Symphony No. 1 and other works with the LPO, was released worldwide by Naxos in 2014.
