for solo piano | 15'30" | A compelling set of tonal/modal piano miniatures meant to be played as a freely ordered group of pieces and encouraging the free interpretation of the pianist. | ||||

for solo piano | 5'17" | A melancholic ‘offering’ for the gifted London-based composer, pianist, and teacher, Phil Best, with a small twist hidden among the bouquets. | ||||
for solo piano | 4'30" | A short fantasy inspired by the story of Beren and Lúthien Tinúviel from J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Silmarillion. Beren, lost and wandering in the Forest of Neldoreth, secretly observes Lúthien, ‘the most beautiful of all the Children of Ilúvatar,’ dancing in the glades of the forest, and is bound to her for life. | ||||
for solo piano | 7' | These small doodles, or ‘paper improvisations,’ if you will, began as just that—scribbles that went down in one sitting, without the usual planning devoted to so much of my preceding music for solo piano.

for solo piano | 4'30" | Fun, light, and energetic, this music evokes a lively folk dance, like a jig or gigue. While it is definitely a contemporary piece, it does keep some of the characteristics one would expect from this kind of Baroque Suite movement. The middle section contains some counterpoint of the new melody, and toward the conclusion I […] | ||||
for solo piano | 3'20" | “Kate & David” is the main theme of Kurt Kuenne’s score for his documentary “Dear Zachary: a letter to a son about his father”, which chronicled the life and death of his late best friend, Dr. Andrew David Bagby; this theme is meant to encapsulate the enduring love and strength of Andrew’s devoted parents, Kate […] | ||||
for piano trio | 6'15" | Z Dance is a multi-textured movement for piano trio set in a lively, post-modern contrapuntal style. Rhythmic impulse is the focus of this piece, in which the violin, cello and piano each take turns in the foreground, middle ground and background. Composed in 2010 as ballet music, Z Dance is the companion piece to ABC […] | ||||

Andantino – Allegro molto – Meno allegro – Tempo primo – Allegro molto – Meno allegro An introductory Andantino directly leads into an Allegro molto which contains the main theme and the transition to a more quiet secondary theme (Meno allegro).
