The following links are MIDI samples of works completed and works in progress. All customers will receive these sound files as a tool to understand and get familiar with their new work. I also use this page to post examples for my students and friends to use for study purposes.

Snow
Cold breeze a blowing
Frigid thoughts of darkness glowing
How I long for ignorant bliss
Much distain for winter’s painful kiss
Feel the air prepare to cleanse
Birthing freshness in the wind

Snow—-Snow is falling on the ground

Buried in a quilt so pure
Lies the horrors
Waits the monsters
Fresh and clean the landscape beams
Underneath are wretched vivid dreams

Snow—-Snow is falling on the ground

All the heat of memory fades
melts away to earth it drains
stained in water once so clean
flows to earth to be unseen

Snow—-Snow is falling on the ground
