Winner of the 2023 Bassoon Chamber Music Composition Competition and selected repertoire for the 2025 Meg Quigley Vivaldi Competition. This suite is inspired by four imaginatively named regions on the moon. Early humans gazed at the brilliant moon and saw what appeared to be seas and oceans separating continents and islands. While we now know that the moon is desolate and completely devoid of bodies of water, these names of lunar regions stuck and are fantastically descriptive. The first movement, Mare Vaporum (Sea of Vapors), suggests an impressionist seascape, with foam and fog roiling about. With long lyrical lines and free rhapsodic rhythms, the bassoon imagines the changing shapes of water and clouds.
 I. Mare Vaporum (Sea of Vapors) II. Mare Crisium (Sea of Crises) III. Mare Frigoris (Sea of Cold) IV. Oceanus Procellarum (Ocean of Storms)

A collector of folk tunes, Lady Nairne (Carolina Oliphant) undoubtedly chose the traditional Scottish air "Hey, Tuttie, Tattie" as the setting for her melancholy text because of its beauty and simplicity. Also known as the melody to Robert Burns' nationalistic "Scots Wha Hae", the folk tune has been part of Scottish life for centuries. Lady Nairne wrote her words upon the passing of the only child of her friend, Mrs. Archibald Campbell Colquhoun. In her setting, Land O' The Leal is a reference to heaven, where they will someday be reunited. This orchestral arrangement of the old Scottish tune hopes to capture the serenity and hopefulness of her poem.

From a Latin term for an agreement, bargain, or covenant: it's the pact your students make between each other and the director, and between the ensemble and the audience.

Concert Band Score & Parts

Dedicated to Tom Beck and the Green Tour of American Music Abroad, this soaring fanfare was written to be performed at indoor and outdoor concert venues throughout Europe. Accented and dissonant brass figures are colored by flourishes in the woodwinds. Lyrical solos in the flute and trumpet incorporating important octave and seventh intervals contrast the marcato style of the beginning and end of the piece.

Fanfare for a Journey

Centuries-old sea shanties made the drudgery and monotony of a sailor's work more tolerable. Sung on the decks of merchant, fishing, and whaling ships, these often colorful songs have become an important part of our folk music history. This is a full orchestra arrangement of Cape Cod Girls, a call-and-response song with some interesting lyrics. If you were seaman, you surely would have sung many creative verses.

String Orchestra Score & Parts

This woodwind quintet was written in 2014. It is modeled on the classical form and is a three-movement work in the standard fast-slow-fast structure ending in a rondo. The first movement is based on a single lyrical theme that is stated throughout by each member of the ensemble in whole or in part. The second movement is a slow ternary form and features long expressive melodic lines. The title has no programmatic implication, but expresses interest in momentum and expressive concision.

THE VALIANT was written for Brass Quartet  (Trumpet in Bb, Horn in F, Trombone/Baritone, and Tuba).

One of my fondest memories of being a part of the Seminole High School Band, Seminole, Florida, was the memorable and enjoyable opportunity of playing in a brass ensemble with my friends Kent Gall, Daryl Harpold, Wayne Veith, and Ted Nicholson.  THE VALIANT is dedicated to my friends Kent, Daryl, Wayne, and Ted. 

It is my hope that THE VALIANT will provide students with a song that they will enjoy learning to play, and provide other music educators with a teaching tool that can be used to motivate and encourage their students.

Dedicated to two outstanding brass students at Wooster High School in Wooster, Ohio, Suite for Low Brass Trio was written in 2015 to explore the unique qualities of the trombone, euphonium and tuba. Each movement of this suite showcases the unique voices and harmonious blend of these instruments, offering a dynamic range of moods from majestic to jazzy, to lyrical. Perfect for both concert performances and educational settings, this suite celebrates the depth and versatility of low brass!

Brass Trio 2 Trombones & Tuba

A dark love poem set against the backdrop of a gloomy autumn day. This lovely college-level work for solo flute with piano explores the full range of the instrument. It maintains a sense of floating equilibrium while exacting a high level of technical skill from the performer; this is an excellent new addition to flute repertoire.

Autumn Serenade

Flute Solo with Piano

Built around a motif of eighth notes and a "Spanish" triplet, this bold fanfare features striking percussion interjections and playful bitonality. Great for brass ensembles seeking a dramatic, rhythmically engaging piece with a British Brass Band flavor.

Second Fanfare for Brass & Percussion

In 1902, Enrico Caruso's recording of this aria for tenor from the opera "Pagliacci" was the first song in history to sell a million copies. It is sung at the end of the first act, when Canio discovers his wife's infidelity but must prepare for a show by playing the role of Pagliaccio, the clown. This arrangement adapts perfectly to the lyrical characteristics of the trombone and euphonium as it allows the performer to show all their expressive potential.

A piece students will enjoy learning to play, and a teaching tool that can be used to motivate and encourage them.

Proclamation

A lively and fresh new accompanied solo for French horn suitable as a competition or recital piece. The text before each movement is an optional distraction from the soloist emptying the spit from their valves. This work is dedicated to the composer's horn teachers.

Designed for the orchestra classroom, this method book provides 17 pieces for string orchestra that are each performed using a single finger pattern, as found in the popular Bornoff methodology. Each pattern reinforces intonation and finger placement for violin, viola, cello, and bass though individual compositions that are preceded by a warm-up using that particular finger pattern. All instruments have interesting melodic and harmonic lines and violins, violas and celli remain in first position, while basses are given the opportunity to shift within the pattern. Fully edited with fingerings and bowings, the book offers enjoyable way for students to improve precise and consistent left hand skills and work toward better intonation.
