• NEW COMPOSITIONS • 
DIÁLOGOS DUO 

• I recently composed a brief suite, "Three Choros for Bass Clarinet and Guitar".

These pieces will complete our forthcoming second CD, "Diálogos Duo Plays Choro".
The featured work will be "A Dozen Choro Tributes" (see premiere info above).

• I have just begun preliminary sketches for the next Diálogos Duo suite:
"Cantos do Nordeste", featuring the music from Brazil's rich Northeast.

The suite is projected to consist of twelve to fifteen movements, and be completed by early fall.

As with all previous suites, each movement will be a tribute to an illustrious Brazilian composer/musician.

There are now fifty pieces composed for Diálogos Duo since our founding in fall 2016.

Definitive scores for these new works will become available for sale once final revisions are completed.
