Marche Funèbre
The Marche Funèbre was composed during the journey to the funeral of a close friend, originally written for horn, trumpet, and organ. The wind orchestra arrangement was created for the KJO Esslingen and was recorded in November 2021.
Simon’s Polka
A charming little polka, composed for the 60th birthday of my uncle Simon and premiered at the celebration. While not strictly traditional in style, it clearly identifies as a polka and is written for either a traditional ensemble or wind orchestra
Butter-Fly (from Digimon)
Just that. Recorded as part of the Digital Youth Orchestra Esslingen 2020. The ballad-style intro from the final episode of the series is noticeably more concertante and can optionally be omitted.
Prolog
My earliest piece in the late-romantic style, written for my youth-orchestra as a possibility for each player, to stand out as a soloist. While this version is way denser the the original, it still keeps its “open” character and is an excellent preparation for musicians.
The Christmas Star
The Christmas Star’ was born while I was composing the anniversary piece for the Nottuln Wind Music Association, when I became convinced that the melody would also sound beautiful as a choral work. Later, a colleague encouraged me to arrange it for wind instruments as well — and here we are!
