This site contains hundreds of examples from my scores -- including more than 1,000 art songs -- as well as texts, commentary on both texts and music, and miscellaneous articles and poetry. Many scores are available free as PDF downloads. Because the main language of this site is English, its pages include English translations from other languages as well as historical information about the authors whose words I have set into song -- something of who they were and are, what they have given and still give to us. Such artists throughout the ages deserve our respect for the scope and content of their work. There are also photos and some biographical material about the performers for whom I have chosen to compose, as well as some to whom I have dedicated my work. It is intended that this site be a resource for any who have interest in my work as it progresses, and that the content of this site give joy, insight and stimulation to those who come to the works herein. For more information about the site itself please click on the link above for that purpose or click on a subject in the banner above or titles below.
