​OBSIDIAN for solo piano

OBSIDIAN was born after a series of concerts with Vandalia in Mexico City. Learning about the Mexica culture, rulers of the Aztec Empire ignited this piece with rugged edges, warrior character, yet clearly identified themes and melodic subjects.  Learn more and see the score....

SUITE FOR TRUMPET AND PIANO was commissioned and premiered at the Chamber Music Festival at the International Piano Competition of Campillos, Spain.  A three-movement suite that displays technique, tone production, phrasing, melodic development, and this third movement, virtuosity and close synchronization with the pianist.  Learn more and see the score...

SUITE for trumpet and piano
Third movement. Presto.


ET MISERICORDIA (from Magnificat)
for soprano, alto and tenor

ET MISERICORDIA is the fifth movement of the oratorio "Magnificat", commissioned and premiered by the University of Seville, Spain.  It melts the melody in a warm harmonic progression with subtle unexpected chord changes and resolutions.  At the same time, the text of the phrase is recited Gregorian chant style in the background.  Learn more and see the score...

Starting with single fortissimo chord statement, the TOCCATA FOR ORGAN has a rhythmic design carried by the manuals while the pedalboard sings the heroic styled melody.  A middle section changes the character.  The piece resolves by means of a return to the initial chord and reinstating the principal theme.
