Five Short Pieces 2/22 to 4/22
This is a series of short pieces based on my backyard at night between 3-5 am. I am sleeping but I bet this is what goes on. I wrote these pieces on my IPAD using the StaffPad program. I was able to write most of this in bed.
It is scored for Marimba, Oboe, Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Solo Cello, Piano, and a Staffpad kind of synth sound.
Symphony 2. 1/22-7/23
This was a full orchestra piece. Adding Brass and Percussion. Written on my iPad using the Staffpad program. I was trying to replicate some sounds from Romantic symphonies. I was happy to break the 30 minute mark.
Not sure what to call this. My first orchestral style piece. Started with the Harp and went from there. 5/2020 to about 3/2021
Still revising the “musicians” for this gig. Written in Dorico but I had to move it to my Studio One program to use the better sound libraries.
Scored for 2 Flutes, 2 Oboes, 2 Clarinets, English Horn, Harp, Strings.
First String Quartet. 9/21 to 12/21.
I just wanted to write a quartet so I kept it simple. I was just going for a late 18th century sound. Things got a little less simple with each movement but it was fun to write.
Written in Dorico and I learned how to use the better sound libraries within Dorico itself. Used Vienna Strings Solo Strings Library for this.
