Music Samples My current project is Oblivion, a one-act opera being performed July 8-25, 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. I also compose and do Sound Design for straight plays. 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 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) |
This is the final track for Steve Spotswood's award-winning 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!
Siblings for solo piano

These three miniatures are dedicated to my siblings. Recording is from my Senior B.M. Composition Recital. (Composer performing)
