I humbly present the 3rd and final movement of my Piano Concerto No 2, a boisterous jaunt through a fugue, which becomes a gigue, slows down to an arabesque type dance, and then becomes an all-out romp, and that's just the preview! Hope to lift your Autumn spirits! Thanks!

Just released the 2nd Movement of my Piano Concerto No 2. Full of rousing tunes and stirring harmonies. Hope to move your Spring spirits..! Thanks Thanks!

Very nice indeed Brandon. Orchestration and levels good. Congratulations.

Brand new Piano Concerto! No 2, with various styles such as Romantic, musical theatre, early Modern, Baroque pastiche, fugue, and even a rhumba! Hope to lift your Winter spirits https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wUWfXRbVV8 Thanks!

Well all of us have Greek roots right? 😀 No I just played for more than 20 years with Greek bands, so over the years I have definitely been influenced. Even in my Rhapsody for piano & orchestra there is a big hasapo serviko. I guess my Caprice in Seven is also kind of Galamatiano right? Many thanks Niko.

Many thanks for your kind words guys. Niko may I humbly invite you to give a little listen to my Greek Medley, influenced by many years of playing Greek music.

Brand new release! A lively piece for full Orchestra and Piano in seven-time, hope to lift your Summer spirits- in seven! Thanks!

Many thanks for that Henry.

Brand new release! 11 Variations on an original theme for solo piano. Starts Classical, becomes Romantic, and ends in 7/8! Hope to lift your spirits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3coQsksLiE Thanks!

Many thanks for your kind words Daniel Mike

Inca Panpipes- an original tune (I've had in my head for years!) set for orchestra, Latin guitars, and South American flutes. Hope to soothe your Summer spirits Many thanks.

Hi Mark many thanks for sharing. I loved your orchestration, sounded very accomplished and professional. The only thing I think it's lacking is a great melody, and for that you def need to give yourself more time and breathing space. You have amazing material that constantly leads towards this, but never arrives. I'm a believer in that all great melodies can be played with one finger (on a piano). So I think you need to concentrate now purely on your melody writing. Analyse famous melodies, can be any genre, even pop music, their construction, and try to understand what it is that makes them great, and memorable. Do several youself, and make them simple, but profound, and insist that you play them with only one finger. Then construct a big work around them, but these melodies must remain the focal point of the work at all times. If you managed to do this it would be epic, because the connecting material you have here is wonderful. Many thanks for sharing Mark, I mean to start my 2nd piano concerto soon, wish me luck! All the best Mike

Lovely, thankyou

It's all Greek! Brand new recording for full orchestra, piano and folk intruments, all original tunes inspired by my days playing Greek music. Hope to lift your Summer spirits. Opa! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OVxAyWLRBc

Thanks Peter, yes I'll be adding two more rhythms and that's it. Still very much work in progress so there'll be lots of refining to do. Many thanks for your reply.
