This is the right place to discover my musical world. My name is David V. Montoya and I am a composer in the Los Angeles, CA area. I teach high school music and am the happy husband of Patricia, and the proud father of David Thomas and Joseph. Enjoy taking a look around my site. I know that you will find something interesting.

My music is inspired and influenced by the music of many varied cultures and traditions. Particularly, I have spent time learning and absorbing aspects of African music, European classical music, Gregorian chant, North Indian classical music, and of course, our many unique American musical styles. Some of my titles are published, some have pending publishing deals, and some are only available through this website.

If you see something you like, click on the links to my publishers where you may order copies. If a work is unpublished, I will be happy to send you a complimentary copy. If you have Finale© software, I can even email you the files of various titles. Please email me at davypavy@aol.com.

There are many sound clips in this website, look for the titles in blue and click them. I would be happy to mail you the full recordings. Also, the first page to many of my scores may be downloaded and copied at full size. If it piques your interest, email me for the full copy and/or the rights to print out several copies for use with your choirs.

I have also included a bookshelf where I have listed a few books that influence my music making. I hope you find them helpful and interesting. Even if you just want to make a musical connection with me, then by all means drop me a line and say "Hello!" and tell me a little about your own musical life. I would love to chat and share our musical experiences.

Thanks for stopping by and exploring my musical life. I would love to chat with you about your musical life. Please drop me a line.
