Wedding Music

It’s kind of odd being on the other side of the wedding music thing. As I’m a composer (sort of), and my FiancĂ©e is contributing her visual art skillz in making invitations, I thought I should creatively contribute to the wedding plans.

So here’s my first attempt. It’s an easy piece. AND infinitely repeatable (awesome for wedding musicians).

(very quick recording, lots of flubs, but you get the idea).

Slur Etude

Here’s a short Etude I wrote to work on slurs: Etude No. 2 (PDF)

Sonata for Guitar

I wrote another piece for guitar. I had wanted to experiment with some more “classical” forms, so I tried writing a sonata. When that turned out well, my composition teacher suggested I make it a multi-movement thing, so I did!

It’s in three movements:
I. Sonata
II. Slow
III. Rondo

And you can download it here (PDF).

Here are the Finale generated midi tracks of the piece.
