My Compositions

Works in progress (most of my composition has been placed on the back burner in favor of my academic work):

• 8 Songs. Begun Jun. 2000. Settings of 8 poems from Jacques Prévert's collection entitled Paroles: Rue de Seine, Le cancre, Dèjeuner du matin, Pour fair le portrait d'un oiseau, La Cène, Le bouquet, Inventaire, and Le controleur. Pending copyright permissions.
• String Quartet No. 2. Begun Oct. 2001.
• 196 Variations on a One-Note Theme. Begun Nov. 2001. A Klangfarbenmelodie piece for orchestra.
• Sonata No. 2 for Unaccompanied Violin. Begun June 2002. A twelve-tone work.

Long term projects:

• Orchestration of Iberia, by Spanish composer Isaac Albéniz, begun Jan. 1997, long since on hold. All twelve movements will be orchestrated. So far completed: El Corpus en Sevilla, Rondeña, Almeria, Triana. In case you can't tell, Book Two (consisting of Rondeña, Almeria and Triana) is my favorite of the four.
