While not actually using any of its music (as I had not listened to the soundtrack at the time), it contains leitmotifs for several important characters and roughly outlines the plot of the game. This sonata-allegro is actually a tribute to Super Paper Mario. This is a simple, old-fashioned minuet with a rollicking trio. The first movement to be composed-and the only one I ever publicly performed-this rondo emerges from the shadows with a simple first theme and explores various other moods. It is stern and, while turning towards happiness, inexorably marches to its doom. The weightiest of the four movements and the latest to be composed, this sonata-allegro is more than 9 minutes long counting repeats. The central section is significantly slower than the flanking sections, though. Named because of its resemblance to fast renditions of Carol of the Bells, this is one of the earliest pieces I composed. One of my earlier pieces, this bad-tempered rondo contains a series of dances. This is more here for the sake of completion than anything, but this exercise to improve trumpet embouchure (without changing fingering) is one of my first attempts to write for instruments other than the piano.
But unlike that march, Out of Strife (Comes Hope) ends victoriously!ĭespite being subtitled as a piano solo version, no other arrangements of this piece currently exist.Ĭomposed in the style of the Strauss family's polka(-schnell)s, this polka(-schnell) aims to be a crowd-pleaser. Switch from Marche-Sonate at the correct time to this song, then back, and-all of a sudden-the combined songs really are a march!Ī blazing fast standalone scherzo and trio, this is rather heavily influenced by Alkan's Scherzo Diabolico.Īs seen in its subtitle, this march is strongly influenced by Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance marches, particularly his 3rd such march. Wait.no.why isn't it going into a trio? No! Noooooo! It's actually a sonata-allegro!. Very nearly all my pieces are for solo piano-it's at the point where I have piano versions of songs I eventually want to transcribe for bands. If enough of you request downloadable files, I'll start stocking up my Google Drive.
I will not be publishing my pieces in order of composition. You can listen to my works on Musescore's website (the audio will not be mastered there). I've got tens of compositions (and transcriptions and arrangements) stocked up, so I'll slowly be publishing them on Musescore.
