Thank you all very much for making this experience possible!
******************
A pleasant humorous piece for string quartet with some 20th century tricks but
nothing drastically "avantgarde". The title, by the way, IS symbolic, but has
got absolutely nothing to do with deep existential dilemmas and such.
Available both as MIDI and MP3 file, arranged for the soft sampler
Garritan Personal Orchestra.

The Wings of Passion for solo piano (2007)
2007
A song in Rachmaninov-influenced romantic style that displays everything from string-busting
fortissimo outbursts to gentle pianissimo lines but with nonstop concert virtuosity, was written for the
Pianoteq license contest.
The Wings of Passion rendered with Pianoteq virtual piano.
The Wings of Passion rendered with GPO Steinway piano sample.

The Art of the Duel for solo piano (2006)
This song is dedicated to the two giants of piano prog rock who inspired it, Rick
Wakeman and Keith Emerson.
MIDI file - transcription in progress...

Fantasia Appassionata No. 3 for solo piano (2006)
The third piece in what is to be a compilation of six, all of which combine sad lyrical motives
with powerful fortissimo outbursts. This one is written in a more impressionistic style than the
neo-baroque number Two.
MIDI file - transcription in progress...
|
Fantasia Appassionata No. 2 for solo piano (2000)
Title says it all really. A piano piece as I like them: Full of powerful and
fast outbursts. Some influence of Rachmaninoff can be heard.
MIDI file
|
Scherzo Alla Paprica for solo piano (2002)
A shorter virtuoso piano song, spiced with humor and contrasts.

Choral Symphonic
A satirical military march. Symphonic with a synth intermezzo, it's a short song but makes up for it with intense power. Similar in style (and perhaps inspired by) Carmina Burana (O Fortuna), Danny Elfman, Laibach and Rhapsody. #1 Hit on SoundClick's Choral charts in July 2007!
