A New Work...


Hello to all who are reading this. Sometime has passed since last I wrote about what I was working on. To tell the truth, a lot has happened in that time. A new spark has kindled an old fire for a project that I had an idea for years ago. I have many ideas of compositions that I want to do. A sonata in G major for Violin and Cello. A Piano Scherzo in E flat minor. A Passacaglia and Fugue in D minor. Just to name a few. But those are now put on the back burner for right now. For right now I have a new composition that will be capitalizing my composing.

It is an Opera. An acoustic rock Opera to be more precise. Two acoustic guitarists, one acoustic basest, and percussionist, and a pianists for the "orchestra." The cast consists of two males, a Tenor and a Baritone, and four females, two Alto and two Soprano. I am keeping it small so it could be performed in a black-box if needed.

The story is a story that I have been playing around with for years, but I could never put the right words together the way that I wanted. But recently I have gotten in contact with a librettist from Vancouver, Canada, and we have been busting out the Opera on a pretty good pace. We are hopeful that it will be done by the end of the year so we can start shopping it early 2014.

As of right now, the working Title is, "Julia."
