Music Samples My current project is Oblivion, a one-act opera due for performance in July, 2010. Below you will find a few excerpts of my work, including MP3s and scores in PDF. Please contact me if you would like to perform one of my works or have any other questions. For works in progress, music, and other musings, you can also visit my blog: gullings.blogspot.com. |

String Quartet No. 1: At Best It Sometimes Rhymes
Miniature Symphony No. 1a in D Major
Ending Music from the play Miranda Is Morning
Auf Dix for solo organ
String Quartet No. 1: At Best It Sometimes Rhymes
|
Miniature Symphony No. 1a in D Major for piano, violin, viola, cello, and bass
|
It was also performed at Catholic University of America in 2008. It is also available in version No. 1b for piano trio.
This work compresses a full four-movement symphonic format into 90 seconds and exactly 100 notes. The movements are as follows:
I. Allegretto - full standard sonata-allegro form, including introduction and coda
II. Theme and Variations - a single chord, followed by five variations (pitch-class sets)
III. Scherzo - ABA form, klangfarbenmelodie
IV. Finale (Vivace) - quasi-tonal, with klangfarbenmelodie
and echoes of D major first movement
Ending Music from the play Miranda Is Morning
(no score available) |
Fresh off my blog page (gullings.blogspot.com), here's a sample cue from a project I completed this November. It's the final track for Steve Spotswood's play Miranda Is Morning, which opened at Catholic University of America in the Fall of 2008.
This was produced using Cubase Studio 4, Kontakt 2 as a VST, and HalionOne, a VST
that comes with Cubase.
If you have any questions about my
process, suggestions for making it sound even more Danny Elfman-esque,
or general comments, let me know!
Auf Dix for solo organ (Movement 3: Fugue)
|
Based on the hymn tune "For the Beauty of the Earth," Auf Dix (above) is an organ solo still awaiting its premiere performance. The score and audio present only the third movement, a fugue. Two slower, free-time movements also exist in handwritten form only. Contact me to request the rest of it.
