horn piece

I missed midnight by 27 minutes!!! Damn!!! Not that it matters!

I'm wrestling with this horn piece. It would have been done by now if I hadn't been a little fool and written a stupidly difficult horn part in spite of writing this with students in mind.

So now I'm in that hell-space of "transpose or rewrite"?

Here are the chords I'm working with. Tomorrow I hope to post a finished version!! Even if I have to switch instruments!!! Agh!!

Audio of the whole piece as it is HERE

Our Sorrows - part 1

Hi folks - something different today. I'm orchestrating right now, for the forces you can see in the score, from a choir part I wrote some weeks ago. This is a rewrite of a part of the Messiah, although it's secular and sounds nothing like Handel. I'm half way through, and the rest is basically a pop song, so stay tuned

Score and audio HERE

Diego Day

I wrote this in the morning, then in the afternoon gave it to a guitarist to record. And that's the story of how we ended up with this.

03 the other part of Bello Belly

Composed when I was on my way back to hotel. This is for the friend whose secret nickname is sexy beast. Basically I just make fun of the rhythm and and sound, so I cut them into se-xy "beat"-st. Beats for the sound of slap lab.
