@cloudburstcomposer: Glad you liked it!! :-)

A very fun, Strauss style waltz from Stefador's powerfully moving Diary Suite.

Added to the Diary Suite in 2008, this piece signifies the one bright and positive page of an otherwise dark and miserable diary. In contrast to the rest of the Diary Suite, the Grand Valse stands out and intentionally is not meant to belong, making it instantly recognizable.

This track, composed in early 2014, is a very different style to what my piano works are usually like. Focusing on progressing chords, this piece is an endurance piece for the hands, a study. Fun to play, but not too fast! 

Etude No. 2 in C Major 'Wind Through Spring Trees'

This one was written in 2010, and still I wonder where it came from, as it's not my style at all! Originally written as the second movement to my 4th symphony, it became a stand-alone favorite after it was performed by the Surrey Hills Orchestra in 2011, then again by the Zelmann orchestra in 2012. The isolated version of the piece was performed again as you hear it now by the NSO in 2014, and described as 'Wind players fighting to get more playtime.' The aim of the piece was to experiment using a section of the orchestra other than the strings as the dominant. Even though this didn't really work well, it still created an interesting dynamic between the wind and string sections, with the brass coming in momentarily to round off the piece. I hope you enjoy!

'Morning' from 'The Diary' Orchestral Suite no. 3

Commissioned (But not used) for Culture Kids. A documentary surrounding the migration of young children from their homes. A soft piano riff accompanied by an even softer undertones single note gently fades away as dramatic strings and brass gradually takes hold of the score. 

RESCORE | "CULTURE KIDS"

A battle for all instruments to make it into the spotlight. Waltz of the Dead is one of my earlier works, experimenting with harmonies and melodies across all instruments.

Waltz Of The Dead

Like I Do

Nothing like a BIG song to try and tackle! Here's my take on "And I Am Telling You (I'm Not Going)" from the Broadway musical-turned-film, Dreamgirls -- originally sung by Jennifer Holliday and later performed by Jennifer Hudson.

And I Am Telling You (I'm Not Going) [from the Broadway Musical, "Dreamgirls"]

Award Winning Classical and Film Composer in Melbourne Australia. 
For over 20 years, Stef Salieri has used the orchestra to portray painful emotions and memories. Under the mask of jaunty tunes and colourful orchestration, lies his inspiration driven by anger, self-harm, self-loathing and depression.  The result, hauntingly beautiful melodies that last a lifetime and more.
