2021 Virtual Recital:
Variations on an original theme
William Gomes - Variations on an original theme (2019).mp4It was a true pleasure to perform these variations with violist Mac Johnson, who is one of the most talented violists I have ever met, and I am grateful for having worked with him on it.
Perhaps the most important achievement of my undergraduate career at the University of St. Thomas is my senior composition recital performed with hybrid (live or pre-recorded) acts on Mother's Day, May 9th, 2021. The full feature of this concert includes ten original compositions of various styles and for various instruments. This program was adjusted over the following summer for an online premiere on August 22nd, 2021. Here you will see the whole program with program notes delivered by the composer.
