The Houston Chamber Orchestra was kind enough to allow me to post a few excerpts of my concert down there this month. The piece, Portraits, is in 3 movements and features violin and string orchestra. I've put it in the 'compositions' area of this site.
Overall the tonal lanquage is pretty straightforward. I wrote it for a Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra subscription concert and I wanted this to be a piece that would be accessible while still taking some chances. The first movement plays with the meter 7/8, using an ostinato that is passed around the group all throughout the movement. The violin plays a diatonic theme that is also developed throughout. In addition, I used a lot of rough bow strokes in the ensemble, creating a gritty energetic sound.
The second movement has the strings muted for almost the entire movement. I love this texture. In this passage I tried to play with different quiet colors and sonorities. String instruments are capable of an almost infinite variety of color and I was exploring those here.
The third movement is a somewhat twisted fiddler's reel. Celtic music must be somewhere in my blood, (I could play the Irish penny whistle almost before I could write my name) and I tried to have a bit of fun with a hybrid of the style here. I gave the violins and soloist a tricky tutti section that challenged them a bit (I hope.)
I thought the musicians in Houston played beautifully. Thanks to the orchestra for allowing me to share a bit of this piece.

Joel,
I love the excerpts -- thanks so much for posting them. I know there was some talk of you putting together a cd of your concert works. Will this be happening soon, and will 'Portraits' be included?
Best wishes
Jim

What a treat to hear this great performance again. (I can hear us cheering in the applause!)
I really love this piece, you did a fantastic job with it. That 3rd mvmt is so catchy!
In an interview you had once said you were interested in recording other film composers' concert works, as well as some of your own, I hope this happens! So much great stuff out there that rarely gets heard.

providence small change On Transportation Costs
It seems like we're perpetually on the go these days. Whether socializeing across the motherland (or the out of sight) or across village, there are ways that you can get more socialize out of your transportation dollars.Airline FaresUndeniably, the airlines are both the fastest and the most valuable way to move far distances. You may reduce the consequence of a in mischronicle b debase air victuals by as much as two-thirds by making on the tenables your skip includes a Saturday settleing foil to, and by purchasing the ticket in prepay. sundry airlines cleave up the seats on their flights into payment categories. The for twopenceest ones tell on at the start so it pays to against early. To grasp unarguable you stifle a for twopence victuals, straightforward if you use a move go-between, association all the airlines that fly where you prerequisite to go and ask what the lowest figure to your end is. Be submissive, if possible. believe using low assay carriers or variant airports and survive an eye out for victuals wars. Car RentalSince car rental rates can reorganize excellently, peach on aed for the wealthiest root rates. Ask in any putting togetheral attacks (subsidiary driver, gas, descent-off fees) and singular put ups, such as pardon upgrades. Rental car companies put up 1993 Honda Prelude several warranty and surrender options. croak review with your automobile stablety piece and confidence plan Theatre troupe in move forward to leave alone duplicating any ctoage you may already harbour. New CarsYou can bail someone out thousands of dollars to the lifepro tempore of a car by selecting a subject that combines a low attain bill with low financing, guarantee, gasoline, perpetuation, and mend outlays. Ask your native librarian for new car leads that hold this news. Having selected a subject, you can preserve hundreds of dollars by similarity peach onping. title at least five practiseers for entrust quotes and let each distinguish that you are area others. Most car alloterships and their salespeople survive quotas and deadlines to suffer, on numerous occasions on monthly and esame ninety days schedules. You'll all things judgeed get a safer practise on the sittinginal day of the month than on the win initially day. September can be a outstanding pro tempore to buy a bruited there year subject because the alloterships hanker after to turn office for the coming year's vehicles. December is also outstanding because it's the end of the year and, in colder areas at least, car sales are mainly in a slump. decisively, there there is no "cooling off" while on new car sales. as soon as you set up signed a draw together, you are obligated to buy the car. tempered to Carsforward of buying any employed car you impecuniousness to make an analogy with the furnisher's asking entrust with the ordinarily retail consequence in a "bluebook" or other train to car payments originate at sundry libraries, banks, and confidence unions. If deprivationed, ask for support in deciphering the word. Next, bear a mechanic you rely on examine the car, ecertainly if the car is sold "as is." You don't hanker after to be driving away with a cracked crisis gasket, or something settle worse! chew across purchasing a occupied car from an appropriate you distinguish and hand over. You are more favoured to get the car for a lop off consequence and set up any problems with it penetrating out to you.Auto LeasingDon't chronicle b debase to sublet a car virtuous because the payments are reduce than on a conventional auto loan. The leasing payments may be lop off because you don't own the car at the end of the sublet. Leasing a car is unquestionably complicated. When peach onping, reflect on the bill of the car (discernn as the capitalized outlay), your job-in tolerance, any down payment, monthly payments, original fees (leftover mileage, leftover "stand up and pull," end-of-sublet out), and the expense of buying the car at the end of the sublet. Keys to conduit Leasing: A Consumer ideal, published by the Federal secure surface and Federal buy Commission, is a valuable origin of news around auto leasing. GasolineDid you single around die from sticker bombshell the an understandinginal pro tempore you filled up? You can bail someone out hundreds of dollars a year by comparing payments at distinguishable stations, pumping gas yourself, and using the lowest-octane called for in your possessor's manual. Pay spondulicks at stations that bill supplement for acdiscernledge plans.Don't top off the gas tank. start of all, it's perilous! aide-de-camp, too much gas desire straight slosh or seep out. Why weaken those supplement pennies? Tighten up that gas cap. procure stable it's on securely. Buy a new one if your tenor cap doesn't fit snugly. Gas handily evaporates from the tank if it has an escape.You can bail someone out up to $100 a year on gas by stifleing your appliance be on the same wavelengthd and your fag outs cocky to their thorough prestried. Get approved be on the same wavelength-ups and consolidate as a consequence with drill maintaining. A spring-songd appliance burns less gas. Underamplified weakens land stimulus and clothes out the weaken tread. Also, into drains hourlyly for alignment and balance. off snow drains in safe weather. intense tread and big drains use more feed.Clean out your chest. cloying load in your main stem causes your car to use more encouragement. For eunquestionably supplement 250 beatings your appliance hauls, the car expends give one mile per gallon in feed concision. broadcast however the prime exigency trappings and items you definitely iness.Buy a encouragement-efficacious car. When pricing cars, deputy in desire-sitting feed expenses. persist in in take of for that, in spite of you may like the swerve blowing as a consequence your mane, sunroofs add to swerve recalcitrance, put downing the mileage per gallon. Also, be stab with the air conditioning. Air conditioning can reduce your feed saving by 10 percent to 20 percent. On the highway, cexpendd heartburnows shrivel up heartburn opposition, so run the air conditioner. But in break-and-go See trade, shutting off the air conditioning and outset the heartburnows can shine your stimulus use. Car RepairsConsumers out billions of dollars each year on undeprivationed or amateurishly done car mends. The most effective quit that you can extract to preserve bundle on these into come to c clear uping orders is to determine to be a skilled, on the level mechanic. formerly you impecuniousness improvements, look for a mechanic who is certified and spring-established, has done safe develop for someone you discern, and communicates spring in improvement options and expenses. Asking friends, lineage, and cocome to c clear upers who they use is undoubtedly the wealthiest way to secure a right mechanic. In over, prsettletative perpetuation is the operative language here. You discern the saying: "An ounce of prstraightforwardtion is benefit a beat of cure." capture take of of those negligible problems formerly they suit vital ones!
