Sanchez (b. 1988) Photo by Wes Hicks on Unsplash MIDI playback I consider this track to be an experimentation in instrumental layering, but within the confines of a short duration and looping. for orchestra and piano Music by Anthony L. Sanchez (b. 1988) Photo by Victor B. on Unsplash MIDI Playback I originally created this theme last year as part of a long soundtrack to accompany tabletop gaming sessions. When that project failed (because I had composed too many electronic tracks that made no sense), I went back and re-orchestrated the piece. This music is meant to evoke something from an RPG or MMORPG. for strings Music by Anthony L. Sanchez (b. 1988) Photo by Vitor Pinto on Unsplash MIDI playback Musical score available on Patreon: https://bit.ly/2T5NX8G These are the two complete pieces that I originally wrote as Counterpoint assignments as an undergraduate in 2010. Originally written for keyboard, I later changed the instrumentation to string instruments in February 2019: "Menuet," for violins and cellos "Sarabande," for strings (violins, violas and cellos) for string orchestra
Music by Anthony L. Sanchez (b. 1988) Photo by Daniel Roe on Unsplash MIDI Playback This is is the first in a series of pieces that I am writing and revising as possible video game music with different instrumentation. Each of these pieces will be quite short, so I will have them loop about 2 or 3 times and include a fade-out. for toy piano Music by Anthony L. Sanchez (b. 1988) Photo by Matthew T Rader on Unsplash NOTE: The MIDI Playback for these pieces uses a celesta instead of a toy piano, because Finale does not have a "Toy Piano" in their Instrument List. I originally planned for this work to consist of 5 to 10 sonata da camera (each with short "A" and "B" sections). However, I grew a bit dissatisfied with the strict serial method of composition and timbre and settled on the three pieces instead. While I had previously uploaded these pieces in separate videos, this current video serves as an electronically realized version of all three toy piano sonatas. They are meant to be performed on a 37-key toy piano.

Sanchez (b. 1988) Text by Percy Bysshe Shelly (1792-1822) Photo by Simon Matzinger on Unsplash NOTE: The music for this video uses MIDI playback. I used a cello sound for the recording to replace the annoying "Wah" effect of the vocal part in Finale.

After experimenting with non-traditional and Twelve-Tone compositional techniques, I wanted to create a piece that maintained a tonal structure (albeit, within a Post-Modern musical context). The Legend of Chufle underwent multiple changes in concept and instrumentation (I originally wanted to write a nocturne for clarinet, vibraphone and piano based on owl calls). I chose to score this work for flute and piano because of the simplicity and sonic richness. Like the subtitle of this piece suggests, I had viewed The Legend of Chufle as a musical poem. I later took this idea a step further by deciding to include text that would accompany this piece. I collaborated with poet Ditrie M. Sanchez-Bowie (b. 1984), who wrote the text based on how she viewed the music. Although I originally drew musical inspiration from works by French composer Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) and American composer Richard Danielpour (b. 1956), she heard my work as idiomatic of Native American music. As a result Sanchez-Bowie created an epic poem about a Native female chieftain named Chufle. |
