Today I present my original composition, CRY OF THE MORNING LOON.  I completed this piece in 2021 and scored it for English horn.  Below is a screenshot of the title page from the printed score: 

Composed for my father on our birthday (we were both born on March 10), this music continues a noticeable trend in my work toward a rather eclectic ethnicism.  Due, in part, to the fabulous world instruments sample library I am fortunate to possess, I am free to explore the many exotic musical techniques and scale patterns that so fascinate me.  Note, however, that I composed this music for the English horn—a well established western instrument!
