A bassoon contemplates a problem, tries to solve a mystery, question a relationship or debate a complex / ambiguous predicament. A Contra Bassoon anchors a confident bass pulse. Up high clarinets contrast the certainty with fleeting, questioning flurries that instantly vaporize, unattainable. Instrumental, Dramatic, Contemplative Music

Driving through the countryside. Looking through the window, pensive, thoughtful. Endless fields of wheat or corn. A farmer on a tractor, a raised flag – probably a veteran’s home.

Lament for a close friend who’s changed. You’re not yourself. You’re so different from the happy person you used to be. What happened? I don’t see you around anymore. When I do, your eyes look faded. Who did that to you? Powerful big band horns wail, crying out to bring you back to me. Instrumental, Dramatic, Sad Music
A playful, sexy duet for piano and cello. The lyrical, powerful cello fills the room with a delicious, thick melody. A piano, bursting with energy like a young kitten, spins around and around it hoping to tempt it to come out and have a bit of fun.

An expression of modern anxiety and distress.

Sounds like The Matrix, The Terminator, Transformers, Instrumental, Dangerous, Dramatic Chase
Meditative piano and strings. Begins with beautiful, peaceful chords, a chordal melody that takes us into the depth of our midnight peace.

Enter a gorgeous, slow, moody piano melody. Gradually lush strings wrap themselves around it. A lonely cello sings for a fleeing instant, then a moment of mournful silence.
