Wood Quintet: Characters:  Ana Lilia Rodríquez asked to make an other version of the woodwind quintet and to  change three instruments. but she cancelled it, all my work was for nothing.

So I am looking for a reed quintet to perform it.

To day we made a recording from Looking at the sky.  Basak Ersoz, ex professor concervatorium Istanbul played the piece and I have recorded it, with my H2.  Thank you Basak for the beautifull performance.

I had a wonderfull help from Julián Garcia Peña a master student conservatorium Bogota.  He checked every number and gave me good tips. Thank you Julian. The composition is is now published by ummp. Julian will perform some pieces if he has a recital. 

The old news.

See also compositions when you are looking for some piece.

And I'm always looking for some performers for certain pieces that have already been released but not yet officially played, feel free to ask, because I still have some unusual combinations. Maybe there's something for you.

Foli for double bass

I have completed my composition for double bass. The composition is about Africa and the title is Foli: it means there is no movement without rhythm. Perhaps there are still double bass players for this composition.

Chant the Printemps

for satb choir

the composition is based on an old poem, but is contemporary.

I am looking for a very good choir.

Schicksal for violin , cello, piano

The Haarlem trio wants to perform 'Schicksal' composition about a painting by Franz Marc (Tierschicksale), in the Azijnfabriek in 's-Hertogenbosch, Isabel Vaz (cello), Daan Treur (piano) and Natasa Gruic (violin). This time Natasa was abroad so pieces have now been performed for duo. Descending to Avalon (cello solo) and Piano Painting (piano) For the time being 'Schicksal' has been put aside until the trio's next performance if it still exists.

So I am looking for a piano trio
