Ok, so I cheated in the first two days of this project by not posting new pieces, but ones written several years ago. Today, I won't do that.
This one's hot off the press. It's a jovial 20-second affair for wind quintet, and I call it Chatter.

Today's piece is also from high school, and I wrote it for a few friends of mine. This work conjures up particularly good memories because it was the first piece of mine that was performed for an audience -- and this got two performances! The first performance was as something to listen to during the intermission of a concerto competition at my school, and the second was during the intermission of our spring concert of my senior year. I didn't conduct the first time, but for the second performance, I directed the trio with a pencil.
It is fittingly titled Something for Oboe, Cello, and Harp.
You'll notice that it's just MIDI. I couldn't find the recording of either of the performances.

I felt it appropriate that the first composition I post would be the first "piece" that I wrote. Aptly titled Piece #1 in the folder on my computer, this is my first effort at composition, which was sometime during my sophomore year in high school.
After I played it for some friends, one of them commented it sounded like something from Starcraft. I've never played the game to either confirm or deny this claim.

Inspired by David Morneau's great experiment 60x365, which ended yesterday, I have decided to take the opportunity to get myself out of my own creative rut.
This project will differ in a couple of ways, though. I am not going to write just 60 seconds for each day of the year, and unlike David, I only have Finale 2007 at my disposal to throw something together every day.
Well... here goes.
