Dance of the Lone Wolf

Dance Of The Lone Wolf

A traditional orchestral piece composed in 2019 as a tribute to my mother, Lucy DeSisto, whose long life, well lived, was a cause for celebration, a Reason to Dance.  She passed away on January 21, 2020.

This piece will be part of the Diamond Dance Festival's annual presentation in 2023.

A Reason to Dance

A Reason To Dance

For your consideration:

A guitar/flute duo performing American 
Jazz Standards, Bossa Nova, Pop, 
Originals, and Classical.

DePetris-Laks Demo

“1924” was originally written in 2009 for a film about NYC which was never finished.   I was asked to compose a piece that sounds “Gershwin-esque” and 1924 was the result.  As you can hear, it is also an exercise in traditional orchestration and, although it is realized by sampled instruments, all of the parts could be played by real players if the budget allowed.

“1924” was also used by Linda Diamond and Company back in 2010 for the choreographed piece entitled “Cuisine Flambe”.  The original dance was performed on ice skates!

1924

String Quartet, adagio, with a thematic melody supported by developed harmonic movement.

The Lover

This hybrid orchestral/electronic composition was created for choreographer Linda Diamond and the Woodstock Diamond/Sokolow dance festival in 2005.  The troupe has since performed the choreography to Breath, Body, Birth several times to some acclaim.

Breath, Body, Birth

This short homage to Stravinsky was realized using the East West Gold Orchestral Library.

Sometime In The 20th Century

This Septet is scored with the same instrumentation as Stravinky's  "L'Histoire du soldat" (The Soldier's Tale).
 Score available upon request.  I would be willing to adapt the music to appropriate alternative instruments for an ensemble that is serious about performing this piece.
