Full Orchestra Score & Parts

A highly rhythmic composition with interplay between each section. Bethel
  is a region near Jordan where Abraham offered his sacrifice. It is also an
  area that Jacob had dreams of angels. The region of Bethel is close to the
  area that Joshua sent men to capture Jericho.

  struggle to find the light.

Instrument Type

An unaccompanied work for solo violin in d minor. The work contains lyrical melodies along with rhythmically engaging sections that will allow the performer to express a full range of emotions.

Violin Sonata no. 2

Violin Solo Unaccompanied

A lush work for string orchestra that will move the audience. Composed in the same vane as Barber's Adagio for strings, the piece was written to honor the recent deaths of people the composer knew including family members and Robert W. Smith. Viola and Cello sections will be required to play in extreme upper registers. A great piece for reinforcing dynamic control and bow management.

Adagio molto espressivo

A very rhythmic, high energy work that would be great to open a concert. The piece has a tonal center of G Minor which will help ensembles transition into key signatures using flats and 1st Violins will be required to play in 3rd position. A great piece for strengthening the rhythmic foundation of your string orchestra.

Proving Ground

Rich in harmonies and suitable for a winter concert. There are many affectionate moments in this work to help students strengthen their musicianship.

December Sky

Uno Mas

Score & Parts

Inspired by Ralph Vaughn Williams Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis,
  this composition develops a theme from the hymn Great is Thy Faithfulness.

Fantasy on a Hymn of Thomas Chisholm

This work for the advancing string orchestra can also serve as a life skills tool. The piece is about receiving a blessing before the person is ready for the opportunity. At times it can be frustrating when one door closes and we are waiting for another door to open. But if we were to force that door to open before we are ready it could become more of a burden than a blessing. If we continue to have hope, the blessing will come once we are prepared.

The Blessing and the Burden

Based on the parable in the Scriptures about those who hear what they
  should do but ignore the instructions.

Wise and Foolish Builders

Parts

The fifth string quartet from composer Greg Jackson

String Quartet No. 5

Chamber Orchestra Part

An uplifting work to remind everyone that no matter how difficult things
  may get, you can get through it. The message is one of hope for this
  chorale-like work for the string orchestra working on performing with more
  emotion.

You Can Bear It

There are some darker tonalities that should be conveyed in the timbres
  the musicians can bring out. The idea is that you are in the dark, but the
  light begins to break through. Sort of like a plane that is in a thunderstorm
  but eventually flies through the clouds. The cello soli in measure 28 is the
  person alone in a new place and the melodic line ascends before the high note
  which is then layered by another high texture in the violins. 
    
    Many things are doing in 3's; that is a major number in this piece and many
  things that I compose.
    
    The arpeggiated triplets against fivelets are supposed to represent a harp.
  This over lies polyrhythms inn the lower voices which could represent earth
  or the complicated lives humans lead. The violin part that comes in at meas.
  51 should be thought of as a metallic sound/color. The theme introduced
  during the soli sections returns over the harp figure. 
    
    The piece strives to represent the glory that would be found as you humbly
  walked towards His throne.

Approaching His Throne

A ballad type of  work for the
  string orchestra working on expression and phrasing.

Don't Be Troubled

A variety of rhythms become the feature point for this composition. It is
  designed to help students think through the style.
