Style:My writing resembles that of Hindemith and Stravinsky. I often use traditional forms, imitative counterpoint, and literal repetitions. My harmonies are usually either quartal or by-products of contrapuntal relationships. For me, the heart of composition is in development. The challenge is to let the music unfold logically and seamlessly, as though it is driven by the laws of nature. During exposition, I strive to present basic thematic material clearly so that the audience can assimilate it and vicariously participate in the act of composing. |
