The full orchestra version of Deluge was commissioned in 2022 by Lori
  Buonamici and Nick Garofalo for the Chattahoochee High School Orchestras.
  
    
    
    
    The music represents a day in the life of a high school student. 
    
    
    
    The opening is the passing period music in E minor. This should be played
  short with attention to the accents. Each time this theme returns it should
  be played with a little extra frantic, crazy chaos. This music is the A theme
  and returns throughout the piece to connect the other themes together in a
  Rondo form.
    
    
    
    The second B theme combines features of many scales from around the world
  to represent the diversity of cultures in the student population of
  Farmington High School. 
    
    
    
    The C theme is day dream-like in character, like a slow waltz.
    
    
    
    The B theme returns with the melody played by the violas, cellos and
  basses. This leads to a coda for the school day. The piece ends with the
  students finishing the school day and celebrating as they go forth into the
  bright beautiful city of Farmington. The piece comes to a grand ending.
    
    
    
    A string orchestra version of this piece (also available on MyScore) was
  originally commissioned by Reid Smith for the three Farmington High School
  Orchestras in 2013.

Panorama is a piece commissioned by the Zeeland High School Orchestra

String Orchestra Part

Dido's Lament is the aria "When I am laid in earth" from the
  opera Dido and Aeneas, written by the English Baroque composer Henry Purcell
  (1659 - 1695). The piece is famous for its use of a ground bass (basso
  ostinato) featuring a descending chromatic line. The music is slow, lyrical,
  dark, beautiful and haunting.

  Program,
    
    Marie TenElshof, Director, for the 20th Anniversary of the Zeeland Public
  School
    
    Orchestra program, 2000-2020. It is an energetic piece that depicts the
  feeling of flying above the New York City skyline.  Viewing the world from above can at times
  be peaceful and quiet, but also filled with mystery and curiosity.

This is a simple and beautiful lyric piece in A minor. It is a great piece for working on legato bow changes and sustained bow strokes. 5:40 in length. Violin 2 and Viola playable in first position. Violin 1 requires some shifting to 3rd position. An upper divisi Violin 1 part offers the opportunity for shifting to 5th position. Cello and Double Bass parts have some shifting to 2nd, 3rd, and 4th position.

Cetus is a work for string orchestra inspired by and dedicated to the
  great whales of the ocean. The title refers to the constellation in the night
  sky, named for a sea monster in Greek mythology. It is a beautiful and
  lyrical work, showcasing all sections within the orchestra. Many passages
  feature the cello and double bass sections on the melody.

"Awaken with the Sun is a piece commissioned by the Goshen, IN community for the Goshen Community Schools Orchestra program's 2015 Centennial Concert. 
The piece incorporates the Mennonite Hymn no. 606 (also known as the Doxology) into the piece for its cultural importance in the Goshen community. The title of the piece comes from the longer hymn written in 1674 by Thomas Ken from which the final verse the Hymn 606 is taken."

A section in the middle of the piece features the cellos and basses using glissando on artificial harmonics to simulate whale song.

The Four Kinetic Portraits are early works I composed between 1992-1999. These are challenging works that are for advanced high school, collegiate or adult ensembles. Each of the movements can be performed individually, or the four portraits can be performed as a multi-movement work. Approximate performance times: No. 1-7:33; No. 2-4:29; No. 3-6:32 No. 4-3:11. No. 1 was composed in 1999, and was originally named "The Metamorphosis." No. 2 was originally composed in 1998 and named "Solitude." No. 3 was commissioned by my friend Dan Bell in 1996 for the Rangeview H.S. orchestra in Aurora, Colorado. It was originally named "The Wedding." No. 4 was composed in 1992, and was originally given the not-so-serious title "Son of Blob."
