Orchestral Music

Speech   2:00 mp3 October - 2008
This is a piece written for a project I'm working on right now.  The scene is essentially a woman giving a rousing speech, trying to whip everyone into a motivated frenzy...but it falls flat, with the exception of one man, who joins her in an epic search scene.
Merlin 4:26 mp3 August - 2008
This was a piece that I had originally written as a theme song for the person playing Merlin in the Connecticut Renaissance Faire in 2004. (Tom)  I decided to completely rewrite it though, as I wasn't pleased with it.  I kept the bells going throughout, to give a constant urgent feeling of time and the piece goes through Merlin's mysterious conception, to his life, to his falling in love with his apprentice Nimue, and ultimately, to his betrayal and eternal incarceration at her hands.
Winds of Change 3:26 mp3 March - 2008
This was the piece where I first experimented using the ensemble that John Williams used in many of his pieces from Star Wars
Stairway to Hell 2:37 mp3 April - 2008
This piece was the first of a two part arrangement I wrote as an audition tape for the digital short "The Best Man"  Since it was originally written to synch up to the film, there were several sections of silence which had to be taken out for it to be posted on here.  As such, there are a few points which may seem like very harsh and sudden transitions.  I apologize...but not enough to write transitions as of yet.
Freed from Purgatory 3:11 mp3 April - 2008
This piece was the second of the aforementioned two part arrangement.
Not The "F" Word 3:12 mp3 June - 2008
I wrote this piece to accompany a song written by my friend Kaylee Belli, in honor of our friend Bonnie's birthday.  The flutes and, at times, the oboe, mirror what the vocalist is singing.
War Brings Peace 1:51 mp3 November - 2007
This was a piece I had written to correspond with the Dragon King quest.  It has through several sections corresponding to events which happen during the quest.  The first section is receiving the news of the Dragon King, the second section is the battle with the Dragon king, and the third section is the peace and revelry which follow the defeat of the Dragon King.
Overture 3:09 mp3 November - 2007
This was a piece I wrote about my good friend Jon Green. There's a story that accompanies it, but the feel of the music captures it well enough that you can probably at least emotionally relate to the scene without knowing exactly what actions are being represented through the music.
