Prairie Sketches is for Clarinet Quartet. It was composed with the town of Mesquite, Texas in mind. It is a suburb of Dallas where I teach Clarinet lessons and master classes in my retirement. Set in five movements, it reflects the growth of most towns that sprang up on the US Prairie: Prelude, Settlement, Confluence, Settlement, Rodeo, Modernization. These towns were started around a river of stream, grew when the railroad come in, and eventually were modernized. Mesquite is unique in that it has a rodeo and was also home to the first Mall in the US.

Clarinet Quartet

Equinox was composed for the International Low Flute Festival in Washington, DC in April, 2024.
It is scored for Low Flute Choir of 4 Altos, 3 Bass and 2 Contrabass Flutes.
Equinox represents equality and balance. In science and nature, it is when day and night are of
equal length. The Vernal Equinox marks the beginning of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere, occurring
about March 21. The Autumnal Equinox about September 23. In my early years, I composed solo pieces
for avant garde Contrabassist Bertram Turetzky. He championed the unique timbres of the instrument in
a solo role. The low flutes, often neglected or relegated to accompaniment roles (as the bass) in large 
ensembles create a unique texture of alluring, balanced sounds. This is the mood and spirit of the piece.

This music was written for London Clarinetist Alison Eales and accompanist Anna le Hair to celebrate Beethoven 250. Beethoven wrote no solo music for Clarinet. Having written five pieces over two years for Alison and Anna in the English manner beginning with the English Sonatina for young clarinetists, I felt a tip of the hat to the Austrian Titan seemed appropriate. The music is drawn from piano sonatas, bagatelles and a landler. My own original homage passages frame the Beethoven settings.
