and composer in his own right. The first movement was even used in an independent Hollywood film called "A House by the Sea", directed by Karl Lohninger. However, he and the film, have dropped out of sight. I'd appreciate anyone informing me about either.

     The suite is in my style of dissonant tonality, very accessible, and the 'Simple Dance' movement is in fact a loving parody of Bach's Bourée from his Lute Suite. The last movement is beautifully expressive and very moving. Ben loved playing it and his wife, who hates all modern music, also admitted that it got to her! For various reasons the entire suite has not been recorded. You may hear midi sounds for the middle movements, and Ben's performances of #1 and #5 are available to you as MP3s.
