Today I present my original composition, FREE FLIGHT. I completed this piece in 1990 and scored it for electric guitar, electric bass, and drum kit. Below is a screenshot of the title page from the autograph score:

I composed this little fugue back in 1990 for a couple of childhood friends. They had just put together a rock band, so I offered this composition to them as a kind of show-piece to display their impressive skills. Paul and Jon played drums and guitar respectively. Their bassist was known locally as a virtuoso, so, for him, I produced a rather intricate bass line.

Today I present my original composition, CINDY FAIR. I completed this song in 2014 and scored it for bass flute and guitar. Below is a screenshot of the title page from the autograph score:

For this render, I present the bass flute as a stand-in for the tenor voice, accompanied by alternately tuned guitar to achieve open E flat major. I have never written anything for bass flute before and am very pleased to have become familiar with this much neglected beauty of an instrument! I shall incorporate it into my orchestra, for it would provide much needed support for the pipe instruments.
Regarding the structure of this little song, instead of using C minor I use G minor as relative to the home key of E flat major. I thought this might sound interesting since G minor, like C minor, shares notes in common with E flat. This unusual approach is apparent in the opening guitar progression as it meets the flute’s entry.
