Delian Society
Projects
Over the past few years I have been much involved
in multi-composer projects with friends and colleagues
in the Delian Society.
This is an international group of mainly tonal composers,
some historicist, others “cross-over” and some
experimenting in other tonalities and occasionally
atonality.
These are links to the various projects
to which I have contributed, starting with the most recent.

Le Horla - music for bassoon, violin and piano to accompany readings from Maupassant’s novel Le Horla.  Each composer took a quote from the novel to illustrate in music.

This is due for performance in 2011; meanwhile there are electronic previews on the page.
