For a very brilliant friend not feeling too great at moment,

The G Is For Gentleman (J's Theme)

The G Is For Gentleman(J's Theme)

I composed this string quartet as an expression of our struggle toward achieving the ideal of human dignity for all and as an offering of hope in continued progress toward this goal. 

In 1948 the fledgling United Nations' General Assembly passed a resolution of a Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The preamble of this declaration begins: "Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world, . . ." Consensus on the principles and articles of this declaration is the first time in history that so many nations (with great diversity of legal systems, beliefs and cultures of the world) came together to articulate common basic ideals of individual rights, dignity and the value of individual human beings.

This string quartet emerged from my reflections on the inspired idealism in the gesture of this declaration and the enormity of the struggles to bring these ideals closer to reality. With the title providing a contextual frame for listening, the music of the quartet coveys searching, struggling, persevering, losing direction and coming together in moments of progress and hope.

The Architect

Unsettled Minds is a sweeping collection of orchestral adaptations that transform Beethoven’s Appassionata themes and beyond into symphonic meditations for restless souls. Each movement embraces turbulence and tenderness: brooding strings hover on the edge of silence, woodwinds whisper with searching fragility, and brass resound with fateful grandeur. Expanding Beethoven’s architecture into Rachmaninoff-like romantic musings of lush textures and cinematic dramas that capture the beauty and unease of an unsettled mind — where moments of stillness are broken by storms of emotion, and melodies carry both torment and transcendence. 

Performed in the imagined voice of Europe’s greatest orchestras, this album is an invitation into a dream state where longing, unrest, and fragile nobility collide.
