This familiar holiday tune is given a perky treatment in a version for mixed chorus and piano. The piano part is a bit challenging.

Deck the Halls

SATB Octavo

This piece is an interpretation of the majestic hymn of praise that Mary proclaims in the Gospel of Luke when she visits her kinswoman, Elizabeth.My approach is to get to the heart of Mary's overwhelming faith and trust in God that leads her to experience a one-on-one personal relationship with the Almighty. Thus my adaptation of the text progresses through Mary speaking of THE Lord to addressing God as YOU, Lord, later in the piece.The setting is for mixed chorus, a cappella. The length and the sustained qualities, as well as the divisi writing, require a well developed ensemble.

My Soul Magnifies the Lord

This is a quiet arrangement of the famous classic carol, but with subtle touches of modernism. The solo can be sung by a single voice, different voices, or a small section, as desired. The piece has a piano accompaniment, although the second verse is a cappella.

Silent Night

This is a 7 minute medley designed to open a festive Holiday concert. The choral writing for these familiar carols is fairly straightforward but with a few surprises here and there. The piano accompaniment is a bit challenging yet provides an exciting underpinning of the choral sonorities.

A Choral Christmas Overture

This piece was commissioned in honor of and dedicated to a distinguished founding member of the Mountainside Master Chorale. To increase its application, alternate words are inserted at key points in the text to allow for a stirring and poignant tribute and remembrance for any memorial occasion.

We Remember

This is a setting of the alternate melody for this familiar carol. It is very pastoral in nature, with an optional oboe part that makes for a lovely presentation with mixed chorus and piano. The oboe part is printed on the last page of the score.

Away in a Manger

This is a delightful medley of three traditional carols, with the reverence of What Child Is This framed by the exuberance of Bring a Torch, Jeannette, Isabella and the solemnity of Wexford Carol. Quite effective when performed with just the piano accompaniment, it is even more exciting and more profound in the version with a string orchestra for the accompaniment.

Come to the Child

This is a 20-minute work with a libretto derived from the poetry of Emily Dickinson. While it could be performed as a stand alone suite in three movements, the dramatic qualities in the story it tells beg for a more theatrical staging, and has been performed thus to great effect for the performer and the audience alike.

A Woman's Love

Soprano Vocal Score

The father of a dear friend and fellow musician penned these short phrases as a poem in admiration and awe of the sea as he sat on a bench on a pier. He graciously granted permission to set this text and worked with the composer to produce a literal English translation that had the same words in the same spot in the sentence with the same syllabic stress in both languages. Originally an art song, this work was later converted into a choral piece. The challenging piano part combines with the choral sonorities to capture the ebb and flow, the mystery and the majesty, and the power of the ocean as it breaks against the shore. As in the art song version, the choral setting has both languages in the score and can be sung effectively in either German or English.

Die see steht nimmer still (The Sea Is Never Still)

This setting of the famous carol features a quiet, lyrical approach to the first verse, a subdued yet richly intense contrast for a solo or section in the second verse, and a rousing finish for the third. The piano accompaniment is fluid, richly textured, and a bit virtuosic.

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

This piece captures the wonderment experienced by Mary at the birth of her child who has received so much attention from a visiting angel, shepherds in the hills, and foreign mystics. It is the winner of the first-ever Christmas Carol Competition by the Master Chorale of Tampa Bay. This piece is scored for SATB, Piano, and Optional Oboe. The oboe part is printed on the last two pages of the score.
