Fantasia - Nathaniel Friesen
"Fantasia" was a massive project for me spanning several months. What first began as a small piece for a string trio evolved and transformed into the full orchestral rendition you are listening to now. At the heart of the piece is the haunting melody played by a solo English horn. The score has many influences including the themes of Antonín Dvořák and the orchestration of Maurice Ravel and Jennifer Higdon.

The music then transitions into a more melodic section highlighted by gentle woodwind flourishes over a soft string backdrop. Continuing on, a solo cello carries the melody, accompanied by choral harmonies. Finally, a lower string line leads back in...
Elegy for Violin - Nathaniel Friesen

This piece was written of a fragment of harmony that I had been playing around with for a while. The melody of the solo violin serves as a mere afterthought, weaving over a harmonic progression that steadily builds in a relentless crescendo.
