Eccentric Art Music
You will find here music that defies convention, music that is purely art.
Cloud Shrouded Dawn
(Original = Flute, English Horn, Bassoon and 2 Cellos)
​
This piece is intended to convey an almost spiritual experience of a foggy dawn in a nature preserve atop a small mountain.
​
Musically, this is composed to be similar to a very old style common pre-1600, so it doesn't abide by the modern conventional rules of music, and has a few unusual features. Most notable, are the uncommon cadences, the interwoven lead melody, and surprise ending.
Painting Grandeur
(Original = Flute, Violin, Viola, Cello)
​
The idea behind this composition: Stepping into a Victorian era oil painting of a park-like scene on a river bank with a quaint country church in the background. It looks like the kind of day where the sun is quite warm but the breeze is cool and refreshing. The music is what I imagined would compliment/perfect the scene rather than describe it.
Remnants
(A track for an imaginary film.)
Birth of the Rebirth
(Original = Oboe, Flute, Alto Viol, Tenor Viol, Bass Viol)
​
The subject of this piece is a transition as a blooming forth. Here old folk type early music transitions to a more refined classical music.
