I have been a composer of contemporary tonal classical music for over30years. The style of my music has recently been described by the newlycoinedterm Romantic minimalism.My compositions are for a wide range of instrumentations, from Pianosolosto a Mass for SATB Chorus and Symphony Orchestra to a Symphony forOrgan. Ihave just completed a Piano Concerto and a String Quartet. I have alsowritten vocal and chamber/ensemble works, including String Quartets,FluteQuartets and Brass Quintets and larger ensemble pieces as well asconcertoworks. More unusual instrumental combinations, such as Bb Clarinet andTrombone and Flute and Piano have also been composed for.
In all cases, I have tried to adhere to the principles of the supremacyofbeauty and emotion and stayed clear of composing works that appeal totheintellect only. Every piece I have written attempts to convey a range offeelings and I try to make those feelings as accessible to as wide asegmentof the people as possible.
