DOS PATRIAS SOUNDTRACK-OPENING SCENE (GUITAR)
The opening scene of the movie begins with this solo guitar piece. A repeated progression that grows in complexity. Lends itself to orchestration and adaptation to various instruments. The progression was originally meant for a symphonic movement but was arranged for guitar.
DOS PATRIAS SOUNDTRACK (FINAL SCENE)
Originally for electric guitar, adapted for classical guitar. Very quiet and builds intensity.Atmospheric with huge improvisational quality as well as Spanish influence.
SONATA FOR FLUTE AND PIANO
Performed and recorded at the Cleveland Institute of Music. They requested the piece be for flute and piano ensemble. This piece is simple and melodic, with a hopeful and inspirational quality. Easy to arrange for many other types of ensembles and instruments.
