My music

This is a piece for mixed ensemble that started life when I was noodling in the mixo-blues scale on a guitar.

This is my first attempt at a Christmas carol and my first attempt at anything choral. It’s a setting of an old poem by Eugene Field.

I’ve been trying to write a fugue, as an exercise in understanding fugues, counterpoint and the development of all of this stuff. It’s written for recorder, oboe, Bb clarinet and bassoon.

I was trying to learn how to write fugues and got confused about what went where in the exposition, so I made a little diagram to help me – and in case it’s helpful to other people too.
