Neo-Renaissance (or Neo-Classical) music for String Trio. This set features a dance-style chorus in the Fantasia. These pieces can be useful for both intermediate and professional players for developing ensemble skills, sight reading, and increasing repertoire.

Prelude & Fantasia in G Major for String Trio

Violin, Viola, Cello Trio

Instrument Type

This piece has been reworked and transposed since the first draft. It is for more advanced players and does require some playing in the high registers. All of the players have solos, and the solos are based on the same theme, instead of quasi-improvisational passages like the others in this series. There are several passages that require strict rhythmic accuracy, and then a bit of scherzo at the conclusion. It's openly influenced by the style of Frank Zappa.

Toccatina for Saxophone Quartet

Saxophone Quartet-SATB Quartet

For Level 4&amp;5 players, Percussion Ensemble - Septet. This piece combines a Drum Line feel with Percussion Ensemble scoring, featuring the Mallet instruments. The form follows a simple melody structure, but the Mallet techniques are challenging. An excellent piece for College level ensembles, it could be adapted by a Drum Line or Pep Band group as a feature. The Meter presents a challenge for a Color Guard looking for unique settings. With a Color Guard/Flag group, the March would make an interesting feature for field performance - but you have to move the timpani. Definitely a feature for dedicated Xylophone and Vibraphone players. NOTE: The first twelve pages are the score, these are presented in LANDSCAPE format. The group will need to print the first twelve pages in LANDSCAPE format. The remaining pages for the parts are in Portrait format.

7/8 March

Percussion Septet

Melodious pieces in traditional harmony, constructed in simple keys and time signatures. For beginning and intermediate players. Useful for developing reading and chamber music skills.

Seven Preludes & Fantasias for String Trio

Neo-Renaissance music for String Trio, from a set of seven. These pieces are of intermediate difficulty, being intended originally as both practice- and concert-style pieces to help younger players develop chamber music skills. However, they could also be valuable to working string groups as economically-priced short, common-practice harmony pieces that can serve to bolster the repertoire of working trios, or even for quartets as a subtle way to give one of the Violin players a break!

Prelude & Fantasia in F Major for String Trio

In this piece all of the instruments have solos, and the Viola is featured. The Viola part is quite challenging. Using Polytonal harmony, different melodic passages are passed through the instruments while the other three players provide constantly changing accompaniments. There are frequent meter changes and it is not really written as an introduction to that concept; hence the designation that it is for more advanced players. Techniques such as pizzicato and artificial harmonics are used, but sparingly for contrast. This is more of a recital piece, not really a background or "reception" piece.

Toccatina for String Quartet

2 Violins, Viola, Cello Quartet

This set of pieces is for advanced beginners and intermediate players.
  Originally written for Flute, it is also playable by Violin and perhaps Oboe
  (some breathing and register changes might be necessary for Oboe). The themes
  are simple, melodic, and diatonic. They are useful for developing breath
  control, vibrato, and lyric phrasing. They are quite at home in a studio
  recital setting and have also been used as Offertories in Church services.

3 Aires for Flute* and Piano

Flexible Instrumentation Solo with Piano

This is an Etude for Piano which is medium or intermediate difficulty. The theme is Chopin-esque and focuses on a melodic lyric line over a basic accompaniment. The coda presents the theme in a thicker and more dramatic setting. Musically it's like a "theme for an imaginary sad movie". ..

Etude no. 1 for Piano

Piano Solo

Yes, more New Music for String Trio, in Neo-Renaissance style. And Yes, I have been using the same words in these descriptions to try to help facilitate being recognized under searches using these terms. Thank you for your patience! This set features another lively, brisk prelude in compound meter that features a quick excursion into treble clef territory for the Cello. The Fantasia is also slightly expanded, with longer solo episodes for all three instruments. Thank you for stopping by!

Prelude & Fantasia in D Major no. 2 for String Trio

Neo-Renaissance Music for String Trio. The Fantasia in this set is extended and would make a nice selection for recitals or performance classes.

Prelude & Fantasia in C Major for String Trio

More New Music for String Trio, in Neo-Renaissance style. The Prelude of this set moves along nicely at a good clip, especially for more experienced players. The Fantasia here is somewhat extended.

Prelude & Fantasia in D Major for String Trio

Neo-Renaissance music for String Trio. This is one of the shortest sets, as the Fantasia is not extended (more like an Invention).

Prelude & Fantasia in a minor for String Trio

Neo-Renaissance Music for String Trio. This set contrasts the Major-key dance-style sets with a slower, more quiet, and contemplative style.

Prelude & Fantasia in e minor for String Trio

This set of pieces is for advanced beginners and intermediate players. Originally written for Flute, here it is scored for Cello. The solo is also playable for Bassoon, Euphonium, or Trombone The themes are simple, melodic, and diatonic. They are useful for developing breath control, vibrato, and lyric phrasing. They are quite at home in a studio recital setting and have also been used as Offertories in Church services.

3 Aires for Cello* and Piano

This piece is written in strict Neo-Classical style. The five variations are from an Aria by Alessandro Scarlatti, which will be familiar to many as a favorite from the celebrated edition "Twenty-Four Songs and Arias" published by G. Schirmer. Just to be sure, the Public Domain status of Scarlatti's Aria has been verified with that publisher. This piece makes an excellent addition to the Viola recital literature for intermediate players, as well as a Solo and Ensemble competition piece that has not been heard before.

Variations on "Gia'il Sole del Gange" for Viola and Piano

Viola Solo with Piano

This Sonatina features challenging passages for the Left Hand and many subtle meter changes. It follows Neo-Classical Sonata Allegro form, but the middle (slower) movement uses some modern-Pop type harmonies. The Rondo has some Scherzo-like fun moments. A nice recital piece for intermediate level Pianists.
