Apparently, I failed to make videos for all of the pieces on Leftovers IV. Indeed, I neglected to upload a lot of the goodies that I usually include with digital purchases of albums; that has now been rectified.
So I am back to looking at some tracks from that short EP. This week I’m sharing a piece that’s a bit of a Celtic jig.

With Saint Patrick’s Day earlier this week, I decided to compose a little piece to commemorate the holiday. Due to some pressing work, it took me a few days to finish it, but it’s a jaunty little piece.
Here’s the manuscript of the piece, which I jotted down on Saint Patrick’s Day (17 March 2025):
“Irish Clover” is written for piccolo, flute, classical guitar, and harp. I have no idea if I composed the harp part correctly (in other words, if it is actually playable on a harp), but it sounds good! That’s the beauty of electronic music: you can do whatever you want!
That said, I always try to make the pieces realistically playable. I love the idea that someday, someone somewhere will put together a little ensemble and play some of my pieces.
Regardless, today I’m sharing the WAV recording of the piece, as well as a little video, for subscribers. Don’t worry, non-subs: you’ll get to hear the piece soon!
