The Heralds of Exultation is a brisk and colorful work that explores the full range of the trombone. From the opening fanfare, listener and performer alike are taken on an exhilarating journey of exciting rhythms and metric modulation, all wrapped up in a rousing conclusion.

The Heralds of Exultation

Trombone Sextet

Written when the composer was fifteen, Fanfare for Brass Quintet is an
  exciting, almost-raucous opener for brass quintet. With a motif alternating
  between 5/8 and 6/8, an unrelenting rhythmic drive persists throughout the
  entirety of the piece. Fanfare for Brass Quintet is dedicated to Bruce Yurko
  a both a mentor and teacher a whose incredible generosity and seemingly
  never-ending inspiration were a significant force in the completion and
  subsequent revision of the piece.
    
    Fanfare for Brass Quintet was a winner of the University of Kentucky
  Faculty Brass Quintet's 2019 National Call for Scores. A recording was
  released (Spring 2021) on the University of Kentucky Faculty Brass Quintet's
  latest album, "New Works for Brass Quintet."

With its shimmering fanfares and mysterious, weaving themes, Dance of   Sprites evokes the elusive and rapid display of "sprite" lightning,   which are electrical discharges that occur in vivid colors over thunderstorm   clouds. Typically lasting for only a few milliseconds, sprites rarely appear   to the human eye, but are beautifully ethereal when captured on camera.   Though the sprites' "dance" is near-impossible to witness, its   spirit is here portrayed through celestial melodies that seem to beckon   listeners towards something they cannot see.

Concert Band Score & Parts

Future City is an epic journey through multiple varying themes and atmospheres; a cinematic, musical tale. Composed with the intent to follow a narrative, it quickly shifts between bright major melodies and ominous dissonances, but constantly returns to a familiar ostinato, reminding listeners that it is all part of one story. Maybe it illustrates the chronicle of a new world, a revolution, or something entirely unknown. Its true story, however, is for listeners to decide.

String Orchestra Score & Parts

The term "Littoral Sanctuary" describes the image I found in
  the music of this piece, where I took a different approach to titling it a
  that is, instead of composing for a specific image, I let the image come to
  me as I composed. The piece opens with a solemn, tolling E, reminiscent of a
  church bell, and its short melody soon transforms into the image of a
  tumultuous surf, undulating in waves toward the end. Thus, it evokes the
  lonesome, but strangely ethereal, picture of an old church by the ocean,
  still reminding a shoreside town of its ancient presence with its bells
  ringing through the sound of the sea.
