Stephen Valentine

I am someone who has loved classical music and soundtrack music for a very long time. I am influenced by Chopin, Barber and Tchaikovsky. I wish I were more confident about my own music at times, but when your influences and compositional idols are two of the greatest craftsmen of melody and harmony, it's a little daunting. I primarily write for piano, though I have written arrangements and compositions for marching band, full orchestra, choirs, string orchestras, solo voice, and solo instruments.

I'd have to describe my style as neo-romanticism for sure, though I will admit that I do love Baroque music as well. I can write pop music and Broadway music as well, but I choose not to most of the time. I hope you enjoy your look around at my SoundCloud!
