These big band arrangements of originals are written for 5 saxes, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones (one being a bass trombone), piano, bass and drums. A guitar part is included as an extra for most of them. A few also include extra percussion parts. You might find this useful. Please note that music on this page is more basic than on the other pages. For more advanced (and hopefully more interesting) pieces go to the next pages. The most recent pieces are on the last page.

The "Fae" (or Fey) component is crucial. It invokes the folklore of fairies not as Tinkerbell-like pixies, but as the older, more dangerous Celtic Aos Sí —beings of the mound who exist parallel to humans, beautiful but amoral, prone to tricks, and deeply tied to specific trees, streams, and stones.

Sociologically, this mirrors the broader "slow movement" reaction against hustle culture. The Matcha Fae is frequently a knowledge worker—a writer, designer, or remote coder—who uses the tea ritual as a boundary between the digital and the physical. The whisk becomes a fidget toy for the soul; the bowl, a screen-free portal.

Think "ethereal woodland sprite in a modern city." It’s about finding the "magic fairy dust" in daily routines, like the skin-glowing antioxidants found in a morning latte. Fashion and Style: Modern Woodland Sprite
