Compositions By Eric Lemmon

To make an easy update on content, I am happily posting most of my complete, original compositions for the general public to download and enjoy. I entreat any composers who wish to have free hosting of their work to send me an email at elemmon@opensourcemusic.org and I would be happy to post them up here for you!



Preludes:

These preludes are out of order because I eventually intend to write twenty-six of them when I am so inspired.  The reason that they are numbered in an non – chronological fashion is that each major key and (then subsequently its relative minor) are grouped in an ascending fashion starting on C.  Eventually B major will be Prelude No. 23 and its relative minor, g# minor, No. 24.  The reason that I have listed up to 26 is that because of the additional pitch organizations in the 20th century, I thought that an atonal prelude and a twelve-tone prelude should be warranted along side the principal keys that Bach, Chopin and eventually Shostakovitch used.

Viola Sonata No. 1

This little sonata is actually kind of tough to play but if the swagger is right, the audience is sure to get a kick out of it.

7

This is a duet for violin and viola, it is called “7” because I made a play on the designated pitch-class for a perfect fifth.  When you play or look over the score, it’ll become apparant that the number 7 and its inversion in pitch-class world (5, the perfect 4th) are a big deal.  The piece is a suite and most of the movements are styled after dances.
