Subtitled, 'Phantasmagoria,' 'Ottoman Odyssey' is an arrangement derived from the original production comprised of a haunting motif that availed itself to mystery and ethnic interpretation. The 'world music fusion' that resulted from the original production incorporates instrumentation from the... Instrumental, Middle East, Middle-Eastern Rock
The compositional depiction of 'Gypsies of Galatia' developed along the harmonic structure of the introduction of the track. The I vi ii IV chord pattern established in the introduction creates the architecture for the production, and the instrumentation was selected to reflect the cultural... Instrumental, British & Irish, Ireland
Written in 1978-79, this classical work is actually two ideas conceived in related keys. Classical aficionados will see that Beethoven and Debussy influenced this composition. New Age ideally suited for romance, film noir, ballet or ice dancing and if you are not wide awake, could gently pull... Instrumental, Classical, 21st Century
As a rainbow appears and arrests our vision, so too does the production of this composition. Aurally as delightful as a rainbow is visual, 'Through a Rainbow' engages the listener to imagine its beauty as though one was witnessing its splendor for its naturally brief, yet spectacular duration... Mixed Vocals, New Age, Contemporary Instr
Aficionados of Claude Debussy (1862-1918) will likely recognize this track for his influence. Written late in the 80's, it was a labor of love adding orchestral instruments to the basic piano. Part of my 'Wedding Suite,' the romantic suite of music specifically tailored for an individual... Instrumental, Classical, 21st Century
'After You' is an imaginative spy themed, sweaty-palmed swashbuckling rocker which is evocatively suggestive of various thematic opportunities for film or television. It was mixed with an orchestra lay-out in mind, with tympani to the left, strings to the front, and brass behind etc... Instrumental, Dangerous, Edgy Music
Subtitled, The Orwellian Overture [the translation from Latin meaning 'new order of the ages'], the production for Novus Ordo Seclorum was necessarily experimental and subject to much trial and error in the course of three months and 56 tracks. Its mood seeks to reflect a serious interpretation... Instrumental, Dangerous, Dangerous Music
Parlez-vous Francais? Suggested by a girl of the same name, I remember my infatuation with her and with the composition as it came out on a baby grand piano somewhere in Southern California. Drawing upon my trip to France in August, 1998, and overwhelmed by the countryside in the north which bore... Mixed Vocals, World Music, Pan-World Fusion
It was not long after meeting Patricia Lee Combs [who came to me as a guitar student in 1978] that I wrote this romantic and melancholy bar stool composition on her baby grand piano. Although I feel her presence, she was my biggest fan and I will always miss her fairest of friendships that I am... Instrumental, Dramatic, Contemplative Music
Stripped of its production, its category or genre would have to be 'blues;' but even without the arrangement, I thought the composition was eerie and applicable to themes of fright and horror. Recorded at 63 bpm, the arrangement seeks to capture Frankenstein's gait or walking speed, while the... Instrumental, Horror, Horror Action Moderate
'Sauterne' [a dry to bittersweet white wine] is perhaps the second oldest song in my catalogue. It was submitted in 1976 for a College music theory assignment to an amenably strict instructor [Williametta Spencer] who seemed to enjoy it. It is quite melancholy, yet without the urge to find a... Instrumental, Classical, 20th Century
Although originally a keyboard composition, typically the guitar becomes as important; and in this instance the projects full production came to be more symphonic than originally considered. It draws upon orchestral instruments including French Horn, Harp and Timpani that are incorporated within... Instrumental, New Age, Contemporary Instr
'Together, Around the Sun' had only a working title until just before I went into final production, though I always had a celestial interpretation as the divining guide throughout the creative process. The trumpet motif heard throughout the piece represents our infinite and circuitous planetary... Instrumental, New Age, Atmospheres
Conceived in a 3/4 time signature, the syncopation nonetheless makes it feel more like 4/4. The basic introductory piano motif is stylistically salsa, with Flamenco guitar, timbales and guero, maracas, bongos and congas, cowbell and various sundry percussion filling in the holes. I added trumpets... Instrumental, Tropical, Salsa
Written on an old upright at Big Bear Lake, California early in 1987, the character of most pianos often contributes enormously to the composition and this was no exception. In this production I have incorporated 'data sonification' arrangements collected from NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory in... Mixed Vocals, New Age, Atmospheres
Naive and child-like, this classically tinged composition uses a reverse lead guitar and is laden with sections of strings and French horns. Beginning with the finger snaps, it picks up towards the middle and evokes the carefree intent of the production. Both of these tracks... Spoken Word, Childrens, Childrens Instrumentals
Innocent and childlike, this composition is among the oldest in my catalog. Written about 1977 on an available upright, a Steinway Grand is heard in the production's intro followed by sections of cellos, French horns, violins, percussion and harpsichord. Abraham Carlton Elliot seeks to capture... Instrumental, Classical, 21st Century
The horse and carriage heard in the intro to the composition not withstanding, and although not originally written for this purpose, 'Minuet in D' has been used as a musical suggestion [prelude to the ceremony] from the bride to her guests in attendance at her wedding, signaling her intention to... Instrumental, Classical, 20th Century
This composition came to me as I was working on another track that lent itself to this transition. A part of the world that is rich in history, tradition and culture, its music perhaps being the most enriching. Got Pipes? Instrumental, Military, Battle Prep Celtic
This composition was another of those conceived in the fertile chapter of my lengthy stay in Ireland. A Royal wedding unfolded across the Irish Sea and its aristocratic pomp and circumstance probably influenced its development. A critic described the track, "... stirring, solidly executed..." Instrumental, Military, Heroic Music
As the title and production suggests, this composition is an aural gift of nostalgia, and reminiscent of what a child would find entertaining. Orchestrally exciting with tympani and triangle, the puppets almost walk off on their own... Female Vocals, Themes, Game Show
This regal production was written for my own wedding processional as an alternative to Wagner's 'Lohengren,' the traditional composition that serves the same purpose. Arranged and produced with orchestral sections of violins, violas, cellos, French horns and a pipe organ once played by Mozart... Instrumental, Themes, Wedding Music
An arrangement derived from a haunting motif that availed itself to mystery and ethnic interpretation. The 'world music fusion' [Ottoman Odyssey] that resulted from the additional production incorporates instrumentation from the Arabian Peninsula that includes: Dumbek, Oud, T, Instrumental, Dangerous, Dark Music
