I picked up composing again when I was 49. From that year (2006)my compositions are available in a digitalized form. Most of my recent works you can get a quick impression of on Youtube with a computer generated performance, while watching the FINALE score. In the rendition of vocal works voices had to be replaced by MIDI instruments, like oboe, flute, cello. As the computer cannot sing in Portuguese or Russian... (nor play instruments like musicians do, of course. It is just for a quick scan)
