MUSIC SAMPLES

Trade Winds - Earlham College Concert Choir and Rhythm Project

Welcome to DavidArbury.com!

I am a composer of many different styles of modern classical music for many different combinations of instruments and voices.

My style ranges from high church choral to avant-garde percussion to expansive orchestral to multimedia installations to rhythmically-charged string quartets. It is ever evolving and changing from piece to piece as I continue to grow and develop as an artist and a human.

Here you can find information about my life and music, upcoming performances, commissions, and ordering information for recordings and scores. Thank you for your support of new music!

Don’t forget to visit my frequently-updated blog in the Notes section; it’s a good reason to come back often.
