Email me. I will try and respond promptly. Click onto the links for recordings and program notes. Special thanks to Dana Rose-Schmalz , Lawrence University Computer Services, for her patience and expertise in helping me construct the site. Thanks, also, to the Lawrence Conservatory faculty, students, and ensembles for the performances. It is much appreciated. As you will hear, most of the compositions are based upon the principles of variation, mirror forms and modular design. Musical scales are used to generate harmonic and melodic material. I try and create a sense of spontaneity by not overworking the material while still maintaining a clear musical structure. Scores using Finale are available for all but the piano pieces. I hope you find the music expressive and engaging. - J. Halvor Benson
