new music compositions

These compositions were written during the season of Covid19 during long, cold winters and hopeful springs or summers. Each musical endeavor has a sensibility and technique that relates to its content - whether describing nature, emotion, culture or memory. These sketches were composed with digital software that might help musicians and listeners who do not read musical scores to get an authentic feel for the mood, energy or direction of each composition. Many are still in progress…
