Greetings from Hamburg!
I hope you are well and welcome you on my webpage.
Are you seeing some of the interesting concerts that are being hosted in these sunny days? Amongst other things I recently attended the premiere of my composition (and arrangement) of "In English Gardens" (Ancient Suite No. 1.). The concert was played on the 27th of June in Glinde near by Hamburg. The guitar-ensemble "nota-bene" (under the special direction of Heike Krugmann) played brilliantly, which made the concert an unforgettable experience. Once more my special thanks go to the conductor of this extraordinary orchestra .
"In English Gardens" really is an old-school suite, as I was predominantly inspired by famous lute compositions of the Elisabethian Era (1558-1603). The suite consists of five titles: "Big Ben", "Cutting's Dance", "Lady Pickering's Ballad", "Greensleeves", and "Kemp's Jig".
So far two versions appeared in print by by Joachim-Trekel-Musikverlag in Hamburg.
1. "In English Gardens" for four guitars plus an additional instrument for ad lib performances. It concerns the following possible instruments: bass, descant recorder (flute/ keyboard), oboe (accordion/keyboard) and descant carillon (Trekel-Musikverlag Nr. T5102).
2. "In English Gardens" for four guitars.
An additional version for plucked string orchestras will be available soon.
Curious? For further information have a look at the three demo tracks or the various sheet music (PDF) I uploaded below.
Stay safe and sound and enjoy the summer!
