A new recording has been premiered on the Facebook page under the title "A Waltz in Winter". A slightly uncharacteristic piece not only in being a waltz but in that much of the piece is spent in major keys while the thematic material is explored.
The piece is also somewhat experimental in that the melody is an extrapolation from a textual source, a treatment of text-as-music, using the words of a certain proposal as inspiration.
Hope you'll enjoy my final work of 2010.
My work can now be found in a few additional places online. After several requests, it's finally available on Facebook, both at that link and in the new sidebar here.
For the interested, it may also be discovered now as part of the experience of the Sixty One.
If you'd like to see it elsewhere, leave your suggestions in the comments.

With all my love, then, I present for you, Gabriela, your track “Erato”—the Greek's muse of love for the muse of my own:
