This is a song I wrote for my “other gig” with Harpo Productions for her huge Legends episode. This was used as a theme and on TV spots / commercials / promos for this landmark ABC prime time special. It has a huge symphonic sound, and it is one of the accomplishments of which I am most proud.

The Hybrid
The feeling of time passing, quite some sadness in this – especially the clarinet and the flute. This one is a hybrid because it has both drums and orchestral.

Thinking Back
This song gives a sense of reminiscing over the past. Thinking back to years gone by. The orchestra gently plays with the piano.

Orchestral 3
Just some experimenting with creating a good orchestral sound. Sort of part of a series of 3.

First Flight
This song was inspired by a few things. First, my first solo flight in an airplane while I was taking flying lessons, and second by the movie “The Aviator”. It’s tells a story; whimsy, tension, relief (landing).

Redwood Nights
I’ve always been awed by the mighty Redwood forests, so this song is my homage to them.

The Childhood House
A song I wrote that reminds me, for some melancholy reason, of my earliest childhood home. I’m not exactly sure why, but it just feels that way. I always compose with an image or a theme in my head.

The Mountain Spring
Imagine a mountain, with a spring gently trickling down it. This is the story that this song tells – it is one of nature and harmony.
