Three Lamentations (Excerpt) - "A Cascading Waterfall of Tears" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What does grief sound like? Following the death of my first real love Mandy Morris in 2002, I was finding it difficult to compose, or do much else for that matter. Towards the end of the year, I turned to one of my favorite composers – one who relished in writing music with a melancholy theme. This was the renaissance composer John Dowland.

Digital demo made with Note Performer and Cantai through Dorico 6 Pro This cycle of four songs for baritone and piano trio is on four diverse poems, all suggested to me by baritone David Small and violinist Brian Lewis.

Journeying though almost 8 minutes of emotional highs and lows, the guitarist unfolds a loose narrative of primal ritual and energy. Recorded by Steve Kostelnik in 2000.
