The story behind the piece:

My music is often inspired by "visions" (for lack of a better term) that I see. Entire scenes will play out in my mind, and the music will come with them as a soundtrack.

For "Light Showers", I saw a young woman walking outside during a sunny day, clad in a raincoat and carrying an umbrella. Rain begins to fall. Each drop sounds a musical tone as it lands, and after a short time, an entire symphony plays around the woman.

She smiles, removes her raincoat, and transforms into a little girl wearing a brightly-colored dress. She dances in the rain, having a wonderful time. As she dances, the same young woman from before watches the girl from a window. Her face betrays a melancholy expression, as though she is watching a dream or a memory.

The rain stops and the sun returns. The little girl dons her raincoat again, transforms back into an adult, and continues on her way.

"Forgotten City" depicts the following scene: 

I stood on a beach beneath a gray sky. A light, uncomfortably chilly breeze ruffled my nerves. I saw, in the distance, the skyline of a destroyed city. A single small boat was docked at a nearby pier. An elderly man stood on the pier and motioned for me to walk over and get into the boat. We both stepped inside, and the boat began to silently move on its own. (Was he controlling the boat with his mind? Or was the boat itself somehow alive?)

The man began to speak, though his words were completely unintelligible to me. In spite of this, I knew that he was describing, in exacting detail, the history of the city and the civilization that built it. It was as though my mind “decoded” his words after they had passed through my ears. He carried within him a deep sadness, buoyed by a “matter-of-factness,” and I somehow knew that this man was hundreds of years old.

Lonely Waltz is a brief and simple waltz. The classically-oriented listener may notice the influence of, and a blatant tribute to, one of my favorite composers: Maurice Ravel.

This piece for strings was based on an old piano sketch that I wrote over a decade ago, and then orchestrated many years later.  String quintet (2 violins, viola, cello, bass).

This piece is somewhat inspired by a few of the chopin nocturnes, but with my own touch. I hope you enjoy. Message me if you're interested in the sheet music.
