Dusk (Band version)

This is the symphony orchestra arrangement of the band version of Dusk. I believe it works well for youth orchestras, and is in fact a bit easier than the original version because string players don't have to breathe...

Suite Dreams

World premiere of the symphony orchestra version of Alchemy in Silent Spaces, by James DePreist and the Juilliard Orchestra, May 26th, 2006, Alice Tully Hall.

In three connected movements. PROGRAM NOTE and SCORE: http://stevenbryant.com/aiss-orchestra.php

Alchemy in Silent Spaces (Juilliard Orchestra)

The original Hummingbrrd. Made using only my own voice for all sounds. Editing and processing done in Melodyne and assembled in Digital Performer.

This was with one of the earliest versions of Melodyne, in 2003, and was my first experiment with the software. The ability to "cut out the middleman" and directly sing every line I wanted made for a very quick compositional process (48 hours) instead of my usual snail's pace.

Hummingbrrd - Steven Bryant (2003)

Remix / "mashup" of Percy Grainger's Lincolnshire Posy.
