Butterfly is Beautiful (27K), XG Format1,Rock,Ballada.Awe 32,Gm35Revc.sf2 or Yamaha Waveforce 192 XG - Sep 03
000
Pillangó gyönyöru vagy... Szándékaim szerint ez lenne a dal címe, de mivel nem beszélek angolul, lehet hogy nem megfeleloen írtam le. A dal egészen friss, alig 2 hete született.Az alkalmat az adta /alkalom szüli a tolvajt/ hogy több mint félév után újra gitároztam egy kicsit. Ilyen kedvem volt, mit tegyek, ezt nem lehet szabályozni. Ez lett belole, az aktuális kedvencem.

Another Love 3 (14K2), XG - Format 1, Rock, Ballada. Awe 32, Gm35 Revc.sf2 or Yamaha Waveforce 192 - Sep 03
000
Az hogy a dalnak ez a 3. hangszerelési variációja, jelzi az elégedetlenségemet a hangzással kapcsolatban. A tempó kicsit gyorsabb, a kíséret még egyszerubb, de mégis, ez már tetszik. Tulajdonképpen ez volt az elso dal, amit versenyre küldtem, akkor még cím nélkül. Jó dalnak tartom.

The Proposition (200K), GM - Sep 03
000
Configured for LPCadenza sound font. MerlinGM21 sound font works in a pinch, but best with Cadenza, SB Live EA set to Concert Hall or Auditorium with a bit of chorus. This is an experimental piece that I suppose could be considered progressive rock, with psychodelic flavor.
A
Obscene Ursine (259K), GM - Sep 03
000
Classical experimental piece for catagory "A". Configured for LPCadenza sound font, but works very well with MerlinGM21. SB Live EA set to Concert Hall or Auditorium for best results. Arranged for Strings with a taste of Flute and Shakuhachi.

B
Jazz Fugue on Pizzeca (13K), GM - Sep 08 - MIDI support: GM type 1, one track real performed on piano.
003
I composed this Jazz Fugue ('Blues') in a desire to more deeply analyise the possibilities offered by a classical form when this is married to notes and rytm more proper to Jazz. The fugue is divided into a theme (of two measures) with diverse arrangements, various divertimenti, and a central improvisation by right hand. This allegro performance of 104 measures is increasingly brisk and lively, with just a hint of melancholy. While the choice of tonality in e(phrygian theme) is casual, in a manner typical to composing, it gave the piece its character and precise tones. I hope you enjoy my last composition for piano, and that you might even have fun playing it (it is not an easy piece to play!).

Remembrance (11K), XG - Sep 08

Solfeggio (19K8), GM - Sep 12
000
Here is my arrangement of C.P.E. Bach's Solfeggio (sometimes pronounced Solfegetto). This could fall into either the classical or jazz category. The original is mostly a single melodic line. I added a walking bass line, chords and percussion, using a Roland 200 controller and the ENCORE program.
C
Russian Folk Song (14K), GM - Sep 12
000
I do not know the actual name of this song, but I think it is the most recognizable Russian folksong next to THE VOLGA BOATMEN. I once heard this on a video by THE RUSSIAN ARMY BAND AND CHORUS and I recently heard it at a college football game. I arranged it by ear for my high school band yesterday and we will play it tomorrow night. Shout HEY! after the last note. Cinematic in nature, composed with a Roland 300 controller and the ENCORE program.

The Storm trhough My Window (43K1), XG - Sep 18
000
Most serious choice of instruments in depicting storm sounds and feeling. Touching one after another delicate harmony and rhythm with different instruments underlines both fluid and staccato effect. The composition is here after the composer was surprised by its recognition from the people who heard it. It looked that nobody had any doubt what has been described although it was never mentioned what the composition is about - the storm. In their opinion it's been well described. Very curious to hear the opinion of your esteemed jury. Of course, the creative spark was a real storm experience. Technique: Composition was made in Music Time Deluxe and it must be heard with XG Soft otherwise has no meaning (I tried and volume ratios were always lost unless it is XG) The work is complete, there was no composer's intention to add or subtract anything more, i.e. the idea is developed in full - how well, we are anxious to have here disclosed. Category: Cinematic: You are in you room. Safe and warm. Black clouds are coming. You have no fear just a pause in your day to experience a well known but every time different phenomenon. Is it billions of instruments coming together, just a noise or there is a music in it... music of thunder and rain? Who can tell, yet the storm is coming and you know besides all the threat it inclines that soon it will be gone.

Concert for clarinet opus 43, 2nd and 3rd movements (76K6), GM - Sep 20
000
I movimenti contenuti nel file sono il secondo (Adagio) ed il terzo (Allegretto). Fanno parte del concerto di cui ho già presentato alcuni mesi orsono il primo movimento. Non giudicatela come un'opera di stile che cerca di imitare qualche artista del passato, è invece una ricerca personale di appropriazione di un linguaggio musicale che amo profondamente e con il quale intendo esprimere me stesso. Non dobbiamo confondere il linguaggio usato, con le idee e le espressioni veicolate attraverso di esso. Il linguaggio che io uso è nato in epoche passate, ha dato luogo ad innumerevoli capolavori musicali ed io credo che esso non sia assolutamente esaurito e che possa dare luogo ad una serie interminabile di musiche diverse tra loro come contenuti e passioni. Così come si possono scrivere milioni di libri usando la stessa lingua, anche per la musica ciò è possibile ed io intendo dimostrarlo, ma non con le parole, bensì con la musica stessa. Saluti a tutti.

Pink Crimson (78K5), GM - Sep 27
000
Dedicated to all those great bands of seventies....Knowledgeable (and a bit older) folks around could suggest the title like Heart of the brick...or Atom heart of the sunrise.. But everything is original, of course.

Children of War (54K), GM - Sep 27
000
For a short video I did for a local movie contest, the piece is Contemporary, enjoy.
C
The Dark Sun (19K7), GM - Sep 27
000
I don't expect any comments on the piece; The Dark Sun is what it is. A continuation of my Dark series in the Experimental class. More of a new age alternative gothic style type of music. Which most of you never listen too, and that's ok, I don't expect everyone to under stand this kind of music. But I would ask that if you happen to mark this piece, to be objective. Thanks and enjoy the Work.

Kaunis (16K4), GM - Sep 29
000
Laulu kauniille tytölle I wrote this song a year ago to lyrics written by a friend of mine. The reason I didn't submit it then, was that we entered this song to the Eurovision song contest! It didn't get past the first stages, but what do you think, would this have done well in Tallinn last spring? The song itself is an honest love song, the name means "A song to a beautiful girl". You can guess the rest!
C
Three Variations on "Libiamo ne' lieti calici" (24K3), GM - Sep 29
000
With this project I took an old familiar tune by Puccini, and turned it from a drinking song into a more modern cinematic approach with three serparate variations. Enjoy!

Piano Concert #1 mvt 1 (73K8), GM - Sep 29 and version for bright piano of Mini Merlin v3.0 soundfont.
000
Piano Concerto #1, first movement. My first real effort at the classical concerto form, dedicated to -and a gift for - all of you, my fellow composers. You've pushed me to write more and more effectively and consistently this past year, and for that I give my sincere and heartfelt thanks. I hope that hearing it delights you as much as it delighted me to make it. Please use Merlin soundfonts for the flutes, oboes, clarinets, french horns and timpani. WST25Stein_00Sep22.sf2 for the piano works best if you can find it (you may have to search for it on the net - or I'll send it to you myself if you want it), and standard SBLive! 8mb soundfonts for the rest. And continue to be the best inspiration for sharing beautiful music that a composer could ever have!

Another Lament (5K), ?? - Sep 29

Odd thing is that I wrote one lament for piano perhaps three years ago, and this one came out within one second of the length of the first.

No Distance Too Far (31 KB), GM - Sep 30

A meditative song about going any distance, crossing any border to reach the beloved. One of my melodies which I love the most.

Divertimento for String Trio in A Major (31 KB, GM) - Sep 30
000
One of my earlier works and my "love letter" to Mozart. Best heard with Merlin soundfonts V2.3.

Allegro Scherzando (24K5), ?? - Sep 30
000
This is the Scherzo movement from Sonata No. 1 in A for piano but I decided to arrange it for wind quartet (flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon). I just threw it together at the last minute and I'm not even sure if an ensemble works with this piece or even if the piece itself is truly arrangeable for this ensemble but I figured I would get away from a strict piano work this month. Not the best for me but something different anyway.
B
Missing Briana (36K8), ?? - Sep 30
000
To give you a little background into this song, a few years back, I worked for a piano sales company with a man named Kevin. One day, he told me that his sister-in-law's 3 month old infant daughter died of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) and that he was trying to organize a wake for her. Later that day, his sister-in-law came into the store and not knowing who she was at the time, I ask if she needed helped. She had obviously been crying but said she was looking for Kevin. I took her to him and overheard her grief and pain as she was trying to organize the wake. After she left, I told Kevin that if it was OK, I would compose a piece for the occasion and he agreed. Little did I know that the wake was that evening. A few hours later, I had finsihed it and Kevin and I took a Clavinova to the funeral home. Even after all this time, I still cannot explain the feeling I had seeing a 3 month old baby in a tiny little casket looking as if she was just sleeping and seeing the mother and father close by talking to her. I wasn't sure I could play the piece at first but I did. Afterwards, the mother was crying and thanked me for doing somethng for someone I never met in my life. This song has always been special to me and special to the people I wrote it for. By now, you've probably figured out that their daughter was named 'Briana'. May she always rest in peace.

Revelry (136K), GM - Sep 30
000
It might not sound like it in the beginning, but the title fits later on in the piece, in a transition from the dark to the brighter (though it gets brighter as the piece developes, it always retains dark overtones in the woodwinds). Unlike most of my piecies, I began work on this piece in mid-May and it's taken me a little work on it each month until finally it reached an end. Some people have said it reminds them of the atmosphere in fall, crisp but still full of life.

Big Band (141K), ?? - Sep 30
000
I just recently started composing and these entries were all done with Noteworthy Composer via mouse. I listen to all my midi's with Timidity++ because it is free and also the best sound I have found. This one is a self-explanatory and as you may surely recognize, it was inspired by the standard "In the Mood". A couple local High school jazz bands are playing this for me this fall. The section with improvised muted trumpet can be opened up for solos with other sections repeating background themes as cued by the conductor.
C
Space Adventure (23K), ?? - Sep 30
000
This entry is a cinematic theme that may be appropriate for a space adventure. It was my first original composition this summer.

Song About the One Ring (63K7), GM - Sep 30
000
I`ve helped to some of my friends to make a "Lord of the Ring nomad camp for 13-16 years old children". They`ve asked me to create a camp-fire song for the guys. In this way this song is a by-product of this project, absulutely unuseful at a campfire...:) This song is after the Hungarian translation (by Réz Ádám)of Tolkien`s poem.

Sonatina for Brass (12K), GM - Sep 30
000
I think I`ve wrote this nice piece for two trumpet in B flat, for a horn in f, a trombone, and a tuba, in 2000. I`ve found it in my archive-directory in this moment. I hope you will like it as I like it now.:)
C
Aegir (143K), GM - Sep 30

C
A Cricket's Lament (151K), GM - Sep 30
000
This tune was inspired by a Cricket chirping at my window . I decided to too see if I could make a MIDI sound like a cricket , and the song just came out . Its a unusual and kinda sad tune .... full of experimentation and sound effects.

Goblin (24K6), ?? - Sep 30
 000
Having a difficult time describing something that I wrote without sounding too self serving. Here goes: A snappy number that utilizes scales that are built from evenly dividing several octaves. It probably won't make you want to get up and dance. Although I think it sounds cool.
