Dance of the Red Dragon is a piece I composed for a guitar student. I wanted to write a piece that was fairly easy to play and that used rasgueados. This piece was also designed to be played at different speeds depending on the students skill level.

I’ve always loved the music of Arvo Pärt. I first heard of him when I attended a concert by Anne-Sophie Mutter where she opened her concert with Fratres. I love the space in his music. Each note is important. His music touches me. This piece was inspired by his short piano piece called, Für Alina.

Danny Boy comes from an old traditional Irish melody called, Londonderry Air. English words were later added in the early 20th century by Frederic Weatherly.
This arrangement comes from my first volume of easy arrangements. It’s a group of 30 hymns, folk, spirituals, and patriotic songs. I tried to make the arrangement as easy as possible while still keeping the integrity of the piece.

New arrangement! Moon River is a beautiful song with the music composed by Henry Mancini for the film, Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The song was sung in the movie by Audrey Hepburn.

Ebb and Flow comes from my Red Guitar Suite which I composed back in 2012-2013. The suite was inspired by my 1972 Ramirez. In this performance I added a delay effect as well as a slight modulation. When I perform it live I will often begin with an improvisation before going into the song which I may or may not use delay with. I think it works both ways.

This is my arrangement of the song, A Time For Us, composed by Nino Rota for the film Romeo and Juliet. This melody is so beautiful and in my opinion, Nino Rota is a genius.
