Music for Reed Organ was a collaboration with my friend Keith Allegretti. It's a series of pieces composed for and recorded on his Story and Clark reed organ, an antique instrument which was created around 1885.

The playlist of recordings can be viewed above via YouTube (or downloaded as mp4 files); they consist of the following:

When Love Beckons To You by Ben Tibbetts, featuring mezzo soprano Bethany Ammon (a re-imagining of my previously composed aria, also performed by Julie Silva at the Bitter Valentine's concert)

Suite for reed organ in five movements by Keith Allegretti:
1. Melody
2. Dance
3. Funeral March
4. Warble
5. Hymn

Earth Songs by Keith Allegretti and also featuring mezzo soprano Bethany Ammon:
1. Fire and Ice (text by Robert Frost)
2. The Sick Rose (text by William Blake)
3. Bless the Earth, O My Soul (adapted from Psalm 104, King James Version)
