Welcome to this simple site which features classical music from Utah’s past, including some from the 1800s. Many of these compositions were found in vintage sheet music, and others in various online archives. To browse that section of the site please use the links near the top of the page, or click here.
Many (but not all) of these pieces include recordings. Most have the music as part of a video, which includes the modern recording of the old music, along with some background notes and trivia about the composer and the music. Some are audio-only recordings. Preparing these projects as videos is for practical reasons, as stashing videos on YouTube and linking to them from this page works nicely, even if the video element is secondary to the music.
The recordings included here are a mixed bag. Some were done by live musicians especially for this site, others were made by using synthesized musical instruments, and a few were taken from live concerts or broadcasts.
Another section/page of this site includes a list of some of my own original musical projects, including old and new compositions, along with a few arrangements. (Note: Recordings for more of these may be added gradually over time.)
