This is the 1st and 2nd movements to my five movement piano sonata Five Colors Make the Eyes Blind.

 I. QUASI UNA FANTASIA
 II. Molto Adagio Mystérieux; Out of Nowhere

Tao Te Ching (Chapter 12):
Five colors make the eyes blind,
Five tones make the ears deaf,
Five tastes spoil the palate.
The chase and the hunt maddens one's heart.
Hard to obtain goods burden their owners.
Therefore the Sage Considers the belly and not the eye.
Truly, he leaves the latter and takes hold of the former.

This contemporary piece for flute choir is slightly unsettling and a little eerie in a drifty, floating way. The piece should be performed with no feeling of time or pulse. All five flute parts are of equal importance, and the piece can be scaled to accommodate any increment of five flutes: 5, 10, 15, 20, etc. In larger numbers, the total number of players does not need to be divisible by five, as the mass effect will cover any shortage of one flute on a part.

Five Nights at Freddy's has officially turned 10 years old, so to celebrate I have made a pep band arrangement of the original Five Nights At Freddy's song by The Living Tombstone.

Five Nights At Freddy's is a point-and-click horror survival game developed by Scott Cawthon. It was released on August 8th, 2014. You play as a lone security guard in a children's pizza place and must fend yourself off from the animatronics from midnight until dawn. The game will get progressively harder as you play making for a challenging experience. In addition to saving Cawthon's career as a game developer, Five Nights At Freddy's has become one of the most successful video game franchises having 9 main-line games, multiple spinoffs, a movie, several books, and an endless amount of merchandise. 

I grew up with this series and it has stuck to me for the longest time. Content creators from all around the world have made millions of videos on these games. It's absolutely incredible that the series is still going on to this day. Thank you so much Scott Cawthon for providing one of the most influential horror games to this day. Here's to 10 years of Freddy Fazbear!

Damselfly Prelude (2021)
for five-string baroque cello and fortepiano (or piano) 
Composed by Jennifer Bellor 
Duration: 6'30
Score and Parts 
There are two parts included: 
violoncello part 
five-string baroque cello part transposed down 1/2 step 

Damselfly Prelude was commissioned by cellist Ka-Wai Yu for premiere at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas November 15, 2021. Written for the five-string baroque cello and fortepiano, I combined some of my favorite contrapuntal techniques employed by Bach with jazzy harmonies and a sultry melody that explores the full registral capabilities of this cello, and the various sonorous possibilities of the fortepiano. 

A note from the performers about these instruments: The five-string cello is a replica of the so-called violoncello piccolo that JS Bach seemed to have in mind when he composed his famous cello suites. The fortepiano is a copy of the one built in 1806 by Anton Walter, who built these instruments for Mozart and Beethoven. 

Fun fact: The state insect of Nevada is the Vivid Dancer Damselfly.
