Composer ● Violinist ● Pianist

I compose melodic, expressive music for piano and violin, with an emphasis on peaceful, accessible music that tells a story without words.

After decades as a professional performer known as FiddleJoe, I now devote most of my musical life to composition from my home in Panamá.

Roman Goddesses

My latest work is titled Roman Goddesses.  They are a collection of twelve short solo piano pieces, each inspired by the character of a Roman goddess. Written for intermediate pianists, the pieces are melodic, contemporary, accessible, and designed simply to be enjoyable to play.

Cello Suite in G minor

My Cello Suite in G Minor is a collection of five short movements inspired by the music of the Baroque period, particularly the solo cello suites of Johann Sebastian Bach.

I didn't begin this project with the intention of writing a cello suite. I simply started composing, experimenting with melodies, harmonies, and the possibilities of a single instrument. As the music developed, I found myself writing in a distinctly Baroque style, and eventually the individual pieces became a complete suite.

Featured Music

A sample of my work

My music centers on expressive piano and violin writing, from peaceful solo pieces to more lyrical and dramatic works. I also have a large body of singer-songwriter music about life and the experiences that shape us, and those songs remain an important part of who I am as a musician. Here are a few recordings that represent the range of music I enjoy creating most.

About me

A life of music

Music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I began as a violinist, later adding piano, composition, songwriting, recording, and decades of live performance. Today, I spend most of my time composing music for piano and violin, while continuing to write songs and perform occasionally as FiddleJoe.
