Cattails
Genre: Contemporary
Length: 2:39
Instruments: Banjo, Accordion, Guitar, Erhu, Violins
An acoustic guitar and a banjo create a drifting lull as an accordion and erhu play a languid melody. The accordion is slightly forceful, while the tremolo of the erhu is uncertain, creating an intertwined dialogue of two vastly different characters. The piece is calm and pensive, with subtle notes of East Asian and Country Western influences. 017 Bouncy, Calming, Relaxed 2010

Court of the Queen
Genre: Unclassifiable
Length: 3:20
Instruments: Strings, Brass, Percussion, Celeste
Tempo: 95
Slow Waltz. English Waltz. Foxtrot. Slow Fox. Regal in its construction, this waltz is meant for the ballroom floor of a grand soiree. The pizzicato strings provide the rhythm in the first half, while strings and horns play the melody. A harp accompanies a celeste in creating transitions between segments of the music. As the music crescendos into the third minute, the frivolity turns more serious, and the piece ends with a few interchangeable chords between the celeste and the horns. Bright, Relaxed 2010

Eastminster
Genre: Contemporary
Length: 6:45
Instruments: Plucked Strings, Synths
The constant reverberating sound of rain and the perfect-fifth drone of the strings are calming, but have an air of suspense and tension about them, as if a drama is about to unfold. The koto plays a near continuous refrain, at times forcefully. Evoking pre-colonialist East Asia, the piece is beautiful and stoic in tone, especially as the koto asserts its dominance in the sixth minute and at the end. 010 Calming, Relaxed 2010

Silver Blue Light
Genre: Contemporary
Length: 5:50
Instruments: Guitar, Synths
parse in it’s instrumentation, Silver Blue Light is quiet and pensive with atmospheric synthesized chords and guitar.. There isn’t much of a melodic line to this piece until well into the fifth minute. In the third minute the guitar plays a few high notes, and the key changes briefly, which occurs again in the final twenty seconds as well.

Genre: Contemporary
Length: 3:39
Instruments: Strings, Choir, Percussion
Tempo: 55
Heavy strings play several chords before a violin enters with a sliding melody, in tandem with a woman’s voice and flute. The bass drums are barely perceptible, but accentuate the orchestra as the three melodic personalities float amongst the music. The music is full of wonder and power, and ends in a strong chord, evoking a connection with nature.

Ripples
Genre: World
Length: 3:25
Instruments: Koto
Tempo: 57
Flowing like water, this serene piece is perfect for relaxation and meditation. The solitary plucks of the Chinese guzheng reverberate slightly, and maintain a steadiness that would work well for introspective, Asian-themed content. This would also work well for anything depicting snow, winter, or Rural Japan. 010 Calming, Mystical, Relaxed 2010

The Parting
Genre: Soundtrack
Length: 3:04
Instruments: Oboe, Flute, Strings, Trombones, Horn, Tuba
I wrote this one December 27th, 2009 mainly for fun. It is a sweeping quiet piece until the past bit where is opens up a bit.
At 2:06, there is an oddly supported line with a 2+ octave gap between the melody and the supporting bass.
At 2:28, the gap is filled triumphantly... It ends with a hollow dominant in 5 octaves, followed by a lush resolution. Calming, Relaxed, Somber, Uplifting 2009
