From the composer: Cactus flowers are intriguing because they grow in the harshest of climates with limited natural resources. They are also some of (what I consider) to be the shyest of flowers, many only coming out at night - some bloom only once a year like some species of the Cereus. This piece reflects the beauty of those flowers, personifications based on the diurnal/nocturnal blooming patterns, and my imagination.

"The Quiet Stream" began as a short, one movement piece composed for a young student (6-years of age). It has since grown into this 6-movement cycle, intended for a pianist with at least a couple of years of study and the ability to play with some speed (fast and slow). "The Quiet Stream" is inspired by a restful spot in Flowery Branch, Georgia near the composer's home.

A little bit of Shakespeare and a dash of low brass pepper this rousing waltz.
It is inspired by Hamlet's love toward Ophelia - stating the obvious and undeniable expression of love:

"Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love."
William Shakespeare, Hamlet

This piece is a wonderful addition and performance piece for an advanced flute choir! This piece was commissioned for the 2017 National Flute Convention Collegiate Ensemble. From the composer (the story of the piece): Combustible Corridor V musically paints the tale of Coyote bringing fire to man. The piece begins with the cold, harsh winter winds blowing, and penetrating its freezing touch to the bone. Against the cold wind, Grandma tells stories of the warm and verdant springs and summers until at the end of the story everyone cheers with hope for a soon to come spring. (At the end of each movement, you'll hear a group shout that dances like the flames of a roaring fire). Huddling, and holding each other, Grandma grows cold to death. In the wake of her passing everyone cries. Coyote begins a search for fire, everyone waves goodbye and coyote leaves - up a steep and treacherous path, but grandma's stories motivate and inspire the journey. In the Skookum's cave, Coyote finds fire - it dances and entrances with its multiple flames. With fire, Coyote soars down the mountain and brings fire - everyone cheers.

Find a new work that is colorful, elegant, and engaging in "Suite No.2" for piano! Traditionally, a music suite was a collection of songs for dance. This suite doesn't dance like a Bach or Handel suite, but the movements will always have a dance-able quality to them. From a dancing emoji to honey dripping, snow falling to dreams, "Suite No. 2" will always keep the performer and listener engaged with beautiful music and a dash of the unexpected.

Suite No. 2

This work explores the use of live electronics with live performance.
  Most of the performance material is accessible - however, it demands the
  performer to hear and interact with effects used in a DAW (digital audio
  workstation). The electronics are not a simple accompaniment, rather they are
  an integral part, and timings are suited to canonic textures.
    
    
    
    Program note: Subversive Triggers is an artistic contemplation on
  emotional responses and secondary triggers that take one into other emotional
  states - oft times from hope, satisfaction, and joy into feeling burned out
  or surprised by unplanned events. Electronic delays push and pull or shimmer
  and cry to evolving emotions.

"Emerge II" has a touch of energy from rock, blues, post minimalism, and perhaps a little Beethoven too. The string orchestra rides on lush textures and syncopations through a chord progression also used in pop rock, a song that predates this or the last century - "Rising Sun Blues" or "The House of the Rising Sun." Since living in the Southern States, I have lost count how many times or versions of the song I have heard - churches, radio, store speakers, etc. - at least a lot more than the couple of times I remember hearing it (not the South). So, this is my artistic version, a version colored by the insane popularity I have observed. A version marked by my own energetic sound - no voices, just strings; recognizable by the embers (a chord progression) that emerges.

Find a new work that is engaging and fits the hands well in "Suite No. 1" for keyboard instrument! Traditionally, a music suite was a collection of songs for dance. This suite doesn't dance like a Bach or Handel suite, but the movements will always have a dance-able quality to them. "Suite No. 1" keeps the performer and listener engaged with beautiful music and a dash of the unexpected.

Suite No. 1

This sonata delivers an adventure through the lush forests of Central America, a tour through volcanic mountain ranges, a large lake near Mayan ruins, and a visit to a bustling urban city. Rays of sound emanate like sun-light shooting and breaking off of mountain ranges, ripples on a lake, and skyscrapers at morning break. Everything from native marimba sounds, waves, to flying through the sky like a bird - this sonata delivers a sonic landscape through a beautiful landscape of forests and jungles.
