Pacific Triptych for piano was completed in August of 2019. It is based on

an earlier unperformed version for full orchestra completed in 2006. So, the

piano version recorded here acts as a premiere. As implied by the title, it’s a

three-movement score based on contrasting sections that reflect the majesty of

the Pacific Coast, especially the drama of the ocean and the endless sky above.

Seven Nuggets was completed on April 25, 2023. It was inspired by a group

of uncut, yet brilliant gemstones. Each “nugget” or movement ends with a low

bass note. Those same notes are then played in sequence - at mid-range - at the

end of the seventh nugget before being resolved into a sixth chord in the final

nine bars.

An American Travelogue (Book 1) was completed on May 3, 2023. This

four-movement piano suite was inspired by various American locations in the

western, southwestern, and Gulf Coast of the United States. (Book 2 continues

this exploration in locations in the rest of the country.) - P S L
