"Sinfonietta" was completed in April 2021. The work is scored for Wind Septet (consisting of Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Bassoon, Trumpet, and Horn), Timpani, and String Orchestra.

This recording was mastered by eMastered: eMastered.com/profile/robtjbrooks

The score and parts will be available soon from Creative Spirit Online.

"Sinfonietta" is roughly based on material from the composer's "Piano Sonata No. 6" and "Passacaglia", two works originally conceived and composed as part of one multi-movement work for piano.

Your Own Time

So you’re feeling down now child
And your days are looking black
Just remember to open your eyes
So you see where the love is at

It’s an uphill battle yeah 
And it’s easy to get lost
Just remember your not alone
And it all will be worth the cost

And I will always do
All I can for you
Any you will find your way
In your own time

Watch out for those smiling
False friends by your side 
They’ll take everything they can
And leave you far behind

And I will always do
All I can for you
And you will find your way
In your own time

Sometimes you won’t feel tuff enough
Sometimes you won’t feel cool enough
And sometimes this old world 
Can really get you down

Ah but don’t you worry dear
It’s not really all that bad
Just remember to open your mind
And you soon will understand

It’s an uphill battle yeah 
And it’s easy to get lost
Just remember who you are
And it all will be worth the cost

And I will always do
While I can for you
And you will find your way
In your own time
Your own time

This is my second collaboration (that was actually completed in July, but this is me just getting round to uploading to SoundCloud now.) which features satosii and Rylei Nathaniel. It all started with a sequence bass guitar melody from Rylei and a beat and a guitar from satosii. Vocal chops, piano, synth  and the finished melody was done by me and we ended up with two versions.

Version one: Dial Up (https://www.instagram.com/p/CRCYnsCAZQL/)
Version two: サイバーパンクな夏の夜 (https://www.instagram.com/p/CRKIgQQA6rO/)

Videos for both versions are made by Rylei Nathaniel.

This song is slightly different from my usual genre, but I hope you find it uplifting. Many Thanks for listening and for all your support!

Scores and parts for many of my works are available from my publisher Creative Spirit Music Publications. Go to  https://www.creativespiritonline.com and select "Robert John Brooks." There, you can also follow the score while listening to a recording.

My music is fully notated and is intended for live performance by live musicians.

After completing my doctorate in composition in 1979 from UNT, I took 30 years off from composing to join the computer software revolution as a software engineer.  In 2010 I began composing again and have not stopped. So, I find myself beginning (restarting?) a composition career rather late in life...but that's OK.  Most of the works posted here were written since 2010. 

Thanks for visiting.
