I'm currently studying composition at Rutgers University. I'm ALWAYS on the lookout for interested classical musicians ANYWHERE (particularly pianists)! Drop me a line!
To listen to more of my work, you can go to my personal website nwfarmer.com , or my purevolume account.
The full title of the first piece is "A Game of Cat and Mouse", and the second is "The Hidden Life of Mysterious Manakins." Note: Manakins, as opposed to mannequins, are birds from south and central America.
Scores are freely available for interested parties. Commissions are gladly accepted. You can download the music, but bear in mind that it is updated fairly frequently.
