This is “Alba,” an original piece I composed and orchestrated for a 26-piece chamber orchestra. Recorded at Kaska Records in Ukraine, their performance flawlessly brings my score to life. I’m excited to share a video recording of their exceptional rendition here.

Instrumentation: Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, 2 Tenor Trombones, Bass Trombone, Tuba, Glockenspiel, Harp, 4 Violins I, 3 Violins II, 2 Violas, 2 Cello, Contrabass.

As I composed “Alba,” I imagined a somber dawn washing over a mystical valley, as a nomad sets on a journey for redemption. The title, coming from the Italian and Spanish word for “dawn,” perfectly captures the essence of this piece.
