about

I’ve always been fascinated by early music and the people who created it. Seasonal Meditations is a collection of songs I recorded that are approximately 500 years old. I used my synthesizers to re-create this music from the original scores which are mostly written for voice with lyrics in Latin, Italian, or French. Adieu and a few other pieces were used as the soundtrack for a video game teaching kids about Medieval history.

Some of these pieces may have appeared in the top 40 in the 15th century.
