Hi all, So, I've been away from this site for a few years - long enough that I find it has changed and my profile is completely empty! It's time to change that. In February, I had the opportunity to perform a recital of my own works, this trio among them. My colleagues and I decided afterwards that it would be worth the trouble to do a house recording of it. This is the result. My personal musical preferences lie squarely in the conservative German branch of the 19th century, and I've always believed that a composer should write the sort of music he or she likes to hear. That's what you can expect from this trio with respect to form, harmony, rhythm, and so forth. It's in four movements. The first movement is a traditional sonata-allegro with slow introduction. The second movement is a scherzo and trio. The third is a theme and variations, based on a melody I wrote when I was 13 or 14 (side note - NEVER throw away the ideas you compose when you're young!) The fourth movement is rondo-like arch form. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed performing it! I have decided against posting the score. I hate to have to take this stance, but as an essentially unknown composer, I am deeply reluctant to post my scores to an internet site that is open to the world when I know colleagues who have been victimized by thieves stealing their works and claiming them as their own. Even with a legally copyrighted work, it is stressful, time-consuming, and expensive to take these people to court. I apologize to those who would have liked to see it.

Hello! Soanta for Oboe and organ written (05.09 - 06.09.18) in the early italian musical language. For me its good to be back to the roots. The early italian language has for me always been the style of music that is able to express the most emotions from joyful and elegant fugal themes to slow movements full of suspensions. Been a while since I wrote something in this style though. I hope i live up to the task.. So here it is, my" happy" sonata in c major. I. Grave II. Allegro III. Adagio IV. Vivace (Fuga) Please tell me what you think!

Very nice music. I suppose even more attractive in the game.

I love classic, adventure films like Indiana Jones, Zorro, Cutthroat Island, etc. So here is an action theme with a similar aesthetic.

Theo, it took about two months to compose in the summer of 2016. I haven't written anything since; composition demands time, and I'm at a stage in my life where time is in very short supply. Like you, I have a profound admiration for the chamber music of the 19th-century masters. We are incredibly fortunate to live in a time where access to such music has been made so easy.
