Excellence in Music and Worship
Original Musical Compositions and Thoughts on Worship
Here is a version of Gelukkig I made with the East West Symphonic Library. The many textures and articulations necessary for this work to be successfully produced maximized the software’s capability.
Hope you enjoy it.
Here are a couple more thoughts on ‘There Is Life’. The score shown below does not contain the full orchestration, which would probably be too small to read in this format. However, this condensed score shows the basic concept of the piece. Perhaps someday it could be done with a live full group consisting of rhythm section, choir, praise team vocalists, and orchestra. Until then, I’m glad to have this presentation.
Also, since the track itself bears a good bit of work, I wanted to share it without vocals. This was my first attempt at using EastWest Hollywood Orchestra sample library in conjunction with Logic X. Hope you enjoy!
(without vocals):
It was a great honor to recently have my Brass Quintet #2 performed by the Lone Star Brass of the Midland-Odessa Symphony & Chorale at the Wagner-Noel Performing Arts Center. Along with being excellent musicians, the piece was played by super-nice guys, some of whom I have had relationship with for decades.
I wrote Brass Quintet #2 approximately 13 years ago, and was pleased to have its premiere April 3, 2016.
The piece is written in four contrasting movements. Mvt. 1 is Renaissance-like, Mvt. 2 is aggressively contrapuntal, Mvt. 3 is peaceful with a hint of jazz sonorities, and Mvt. 4 is motivically cumulative, finishing with a bright 16-note passage.
I hope you enjoy listening.
