eBook: FREE This is a song for medium voice and 10-string guitar (can be arranged for 6-string) with text from The Chimes, a short story by Charles Dickens. It is a song for the New Year, in which the old year says good bye. "Good night. Good bye! Put your hand in mine, and tell me you’ll forget me from this hour, and try to think the end of me was here…. There’ll be a Fire to-night, There’ll be Fires this winter-time, to light the dark nights, East, West, North and South. When you see the distant sky red, they’ll be blazing. When you see the distant sky red, think of me no more; or, if you do, remember what a Hell was lighted up inside of me, and think you see its flames reflected in the clouds. Good night, Good bye!"

Print: $13.95 Download: $10.00 Originally a short “unfinished” work from 2001, Triptych was substantially expanded with two new movements in the winter of 2007 for The Back Bay Guitar Trio, and Italian guitarist Gianluca Tremendo. The piece is a fable in three movements of the journey of the composer’s mother’s departing soul: Dolor de Amor, Levantéme and ¡Ay! Linda Amiga. Themes weave throughout the three movements, the final section being a set of variations on a memorable four-part song given to the composer and his trio by the organist of the ancient Catalan town of Cardona, on a walking/singing tour though the Catalan Pyrenees the summer of 1979. The first and last movements are in a sweet tonal style while the middle movement is a “minimalist” canon, which undulates through chordal clashes and slow resolutions including many overlapping and varying groups of 16th notes.
