My Work
COMPOSITIONS
The main objective in my compositions is to maintain a strong melodic line and have a definite form.
The music I compose is essentially classical in nature and can have a variety of influences (such as romantic, jazzy, reflective) or take on a particular dance form such as lyrical waltz, reel, tarantella, tango, ragtime etc.
INSTRUMENTAL
My own pieces have descriptive titles and often follow a narrative.
I always aim to give all performers sections of melodic interest.
The arrangements in the public domain, feature some of the best loved pieces in the repertoire. I wanted to arrange them for various combinations of instruments to give more instrumentalists an opportunity to play some of this wonderful music.
PIANO
My piano compositions are a hybrid, that is they are classical or romantic in style with contrast and climax, but gently fused with film music harmonies that gives an unusual or surprising outcome.
The PD Arrangements are simplified versions of the great classics. My main aim was to slim down the original in such a way to keep the piece as true to the original as possible by being very selective as to what and what not to omit and edit.
I want to give pianists a substantial version if they are not quite ready for the original.
