Beethovens 5

To have a feeling for harmony is to have a feeling for tonality… the melody is the Idea, the outline; as much as it is the form and the subject matter of a work. The harmony is an illumination, an exhibition of the object, its reflection. (Erik Satie)
The Variations were conceived with #SatieObsessions in mind. It is a very simple reinterpretation of the original in that the function of the melody and accompaniment has been reversed. That is to say, the notes of the accompanying harmonies have been remodelled as melodic material and the melody has been layered into the accompanying chords, whilst still maintaining their minimalist character.

Piano part available for performance by arrangement.

Jubilaeum

“Sile et audi matrem terrae.”
“Be still and listen to Mother Earth.”
Modelled around the music of Nature programmes, Earth Day briefly explores the innocence of the open space from the simplicity of waves lapping the seashore to the wider implication of the marine debris washed ashore by storms. It ends with a lament to the inevitable victims of Ocean dumping.

Earth Day

Parque El Retiro in Madrid evokes a certain calm and spacious freedom. This piece for piano emulates that tranquillity and openness. The main motif is made up of six notes. Each of the first four notes acts as the starting note for the repetition of the initial idea.

Piano sheet music is available by arrangement.

Something Beautiful

Berceuse pour Emily was written to celebrate the birth of my granddaughter. A delicate and soothing lullaby with relaxing and gentle cadences.

Berceuse Pour Emily

Composed during the summer of 2020, the Minuet and Trio for Wind Ensemble was written with the Calpe Band in mind. This was done with regard to the instrumentation available to the band. The piece follows the traditional form of the Minuet and Trio.
The first six notes form the basis for thematic material and development. It can be broken down rhythmically to two figures (3 crotchets: 2 quavers + 1 crotchet). These recurring patterns bind together all four layers of the composition.
I thank my good friend and fellow composer Deepak Ananth in India and acknowledge his support in providing the Sax stems.
Score and parts are available by arrangement.

Minuet and Trio for Wind Ensemble

Minuet And Trio For Wind Ensemble

“Mea ultio sicut inceperat. My revenge is just begun,” is a quote from Bram Stoker’s ‘Dracula’.
In studying the elements which make up Horror/Supernatural cues I turned to #ComposerCloud tutorials. The form of the piece is closely modelled on this. It seems clear that the prevailing structure and indeed some of the timbral elements are becoming a bit of a cliché, which is not to be confused with a lack of originality, but rather provides tools and a framework for exploiting this style of cinematic cues.

Mea Ultio Sicut Inceperat

Heavily leaning on Romanticism, Red Rose Blue is full of emotion and passion. Featuring the piano, the piece encapsulates strong feelings and moves constantly between contrasting dynamics and textures. A short piece which could easily act as background music for a dramatic or love scene in a movie.
