I Remember A Sky Full Of Stars
Re-issue of an earlier composition for cello and female voice, but I never figured out any real words for the soloist to sing, and then I got this brilliant idea to make it into a theremin. It's a bit of a lament. The title is from a poem I wrote. It's a bit of a lament.

Percipio - III. Arbores
You find yourself in a thick forest. You can smell earth, sap, and resin. The sun filters through the canopy, and birds are singing all around. In order to move on, you need to turn the world upside down. "Arbores" is Latin for "Trees". Music from the video game "Percipio", a 3D puzzle platformer...

Percipio - II. Glacies
You are in a dark and lonely place. The air is so cold you can see your breath. The hair on your arm stands up. In order to move on, you need to turn the world upside down. Music from the video game "Percipio", a 3D puzzle platformer from Old Man of the Fire. Published with permission. "Glacies"…

Percipio - I. Desertum
You are in an unfamiliar wilderness, a desert canyon. You can feel the sun on your neck, and the sand under your feet. In order to move on, you need to turn the world upside down. Music from the video game "Percipio", a 3D puzzle platformer from Old Man of the Fire. Published with permission....

We Are The Leaves That Float Down The Stream
We are the leaves that float down the stream, sometimes slowly, sometimes over the edge.

Concerto Fantasia On Six Notes for Cello and Orchestra
I'm calling this a "Concerto" because the cello is the featured player against the orchestra, and "Fantasia" because it seems appropriate: many sweeping melodic themes, no discernable structure, and not part of a larger work Produced for the Composer Contests Facebook group Melody challenge…

Molly's Magic Bell
Molly Mullally has a magic bell That calls the boggles in the dell; All she has to do is ring, An’ through the window-cracks they spring, With mossy hair and acorn caps, Tied on their heads with clover straps. They help her bring in beets and squash, Churn the butter, hang the wash; They scrub…

Waiting Out The Clock
Sometimes it feels like you are in a losing battle with time. Are you waiting out the clock, or is it waiting you out? Composer Chords challenge - only chords rooted on B, D#, F, F#. Went for a lot of 6b5 chords for a nostalgic early 1900s feeling. B6b5, F#6b5, B6b5, F#6b5, D#m7, F#m9/13/D#…

tRY to rEMAIN cALM
Try to remain calm while everything falls apart around you. It's important that. You. Try. To. Remain. Calm. If you like Shostakovich or Prokofiev, you might like this. Image from Pixabay: https://pixabay.com/photos/sand-desert-drought-heiss-dry-2329153/

Fivestep Waltz
Wait, how can it be a waltz with five steps instead of three? Well, it's a thing. Tchaikovsky did it. Directions here: https://www.libraryofdance.org/dances/five-step-waltz/ Created for the Composer Club "Chords" Challenge, making a piece with only chords rooted on Ab,C,Db and D. So the piece is…

El Ingenioso
An ingenious gentleman, who fights to the death, against all odds. So ingenious, he invents enemies out of thin air. I haven't read Don Quixote, but if I did, I would imagine music like this. Chords are all rooted on A, Bb, C, Db for the Composer Challenge group's chord challenge.

The First Fires in Doggerland
Work in progress. Doggerland was a prehistoric dry land area that connected the British Isles, Scandinavia, and Northern Europe. It was inhabited, probably by Neanderthals and modern humans. It’s now underwater. This piece imagines that prehistoric landscape, in a two-part form. The first half...

Train to Denali
Score and parts available from http://www.gustholdmusic.com/ Wheels hammer lopsided rhythms down the track, repetitive yet evolving. Nnatural wonders parade by: wandering streams, shocks of birch and aspen, bear and moose under sprawling gray skies. We watch round every bend, as any moment it…

OELLGIA - Duet for Piano and Oboe
The entire piece, both solo and accompaniment use only 6 pitches: (C, D, E, G, Ab, Bb). Why? These are the pitches my wife and I have tattooed on our necks (but transposed down a half step so it doesn't have to be in C#!) Details on why those notes here:...

Lament For Cello And Female Voice
A sad, poignant song. Seems like it would be at home in a requiem. (I was probably thinking of Faure's Requiem some.) Created for the Composer Challenge: Dice roll melody challenge. Melodic notes are only E, F, G, Ab, and Bb. There isn't a key in this so much as a tonal center around Bb. The…

Continuum
A ribbon of light stretching out in the darkness, maybe never ending, growing, shrinking, undulating. An old track, newly refurbished.

Reintegration - Duet for 2 Flutes

Down The Hole
Composed for a Composer Club challenge from the prompt "Alice goes down the rabbit hole." I took the approach that I thought Lewis Carroll would -- absurdist commentary on contemporary society. I think you'll find all of this very thinly veiled. Story with timecodes that correspond to the music...

Harp Allegro (Cmaj) - "Joy of Discovery"
A pastiche, inspired by Joaquín Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez," a work that made me fall in love with classical music at a very young age. I subtitle it "Joy of Discovery" as it sounds like my memories of playing in fields of wildflowers as a young child. The meter is a fast 5/4, structured as…

14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. 16 God made two great lights—the...

II. Separation Of The Waters
A droning A note cuts across the middle of two themes, one a slow and one faster. Soon, the two themes are forcibly separated by a sforzando note, pushing the fast (heavenly) theme above the drone, and the slower (earthly) theme below. Genesis 1:6-8 -- And God said, Let there be an expanse…

I. Let there Be Light
First movement of Creation, suite for orchestra and chorus. Space echoes flat and dark, then come six consonants: yod heh yod, alef vav resh, the first words, "Let there be light." The first theme is a musical cryptogram of those Hebrew consonants. Light is separated from darkness. By the end,...

VII. Every Winged Bird

Le Carnivaux des Maudits
The Carnival of the Damned. So, my little brother asked me to make some "demented clown music" and I said, "Well, I do like circus music, and I am a little a demented. Why the heck not?" What came out is a little bit like a raucous interdimensional festival of weirdness that uses every note…
