Piano Concerto, Second Movement



This is the second (originally third) movement of my first and only piano concerto. It's a bit silly, and I'm again sorry I can't quite manage to pull myself out of the 19th century.

Piano Concerto, First Movement



This is now the first movement of my piano concerto, as I've axed the original first movement and put this (originally the second movement) in its place. Unlike a lot of pieces of mine, I rather like this one, though it sports some of the usual foibles my stuff is heir to.

Piano Concerto, Zeroth Movement



I wrote a piano concerto roughly a year ago as a sort of unrealistic "out" in case the Khachaturian Concerto I was at the time learning proved too difficult.

The mp3 file below is the original first movement which I've since axed, as it's, well, just kind of awkward in too many places. Also, the recording is WAY too loud - adjust your speakers accordingly, or, better yet, just skip to the later movements. Sorry.

Winterfell












Several months ago, I wrote a symphony. Why? I'm not sure, but it coincided with HBO beginning a production of the (still incomplete) George R. R. Martin "Song of Ice and Fire" books. Perhaps I thought some network executive would notice it and use it for the series theme.

Alas, that hasn't happened. In fact, nobody has noticed it at all, which is probably a good thing, as the piece itself is a weird mixture of dork and cheese. Chork, anyone?

Anyhow, there's only one movement so far, and it follows pretty strictly Sonata-Allegro form and Xena-Warrior-Princess harmonies. Enjoy.
