Tachyon is the second in a series of works inspired by cutting-edge
  physics. The tachyon is a theoretical type of subatomic particle which has
  negative mass and can travel faster than light. Will this someday lead to
  interstellar travel, backwards telephones, and time travel? This grade half
  work uses only notes from a one-octave D major scale and half and quarter
  note rhythms to make this exciting work accessible to the newest musicians.
  Explore the science (and science fiction) with your students, and enjoy the
  palindromic melody in the middle section.

This romantic poem by Sara Teasdale makes a lovely winter ballad for SATB
  chorus with piano. Also available as SA.

A Winter Blue Jay

SATB Octavo

This exciting new work for beginning strings uses the first six notes of the D major scale and simple rhythms to introduce concepts such as the accent, staccato, and dynamics. Advancing ensembles can really dig into the details and make serious music, and develop bow lifts.

You can really hear my love of rock and metal in this piece. With an infectious melody and exciting bass line, this is one your students will be sure to ask to play again and again!

Dark Matter

This song depicts the feeling of looking out a window as a blanket of
  snow covers the landscape. It evokes a sense of peace, well-being, and
  nostalgia. Diatonic clusters help achieve the tension and release of the
  text, and are reminiscent of composers such as Eric Whitacre.
    
    
    
    This setting is about 3:30 in length for SATB choir, with optional piano
  accompaniment. There is minimal divisi in parts. It would be excellent for
  high school choirs. The music and lyrics are both by the composer.

O Magnum Mysterium

String Orchestra Full Score

"Fanfare for Friendship" is a musically satisfying concert opener featuring brass and percussion. It uses a bugle call, a lyrical contrasting melody, and pop-punk inspired harmonies. The work is dedicated to "the human and animal companions who make life worth living."

Conceived with the orchestral brass and percussion sections in mind, this powerful fanfare also works for wind bands. While accessible by good high school and community bands, this would shine in collegiate and professional orchestra and wind bands as a concert opener. The work begins with a stately bugle call, which is answered by the drums. A tutti moment follows, as the opening motive is passed around the ensemble. We quickly modulate from Bb major to G major, and a lyrical (harmonically pop-punk influenced) melody follows. The opening fanfare returns in Bb major, before a whirlwind circle of fourths progression takes us to a massive double-plagal cadence.

Scored for 4.3.3.2(euph.), tmp. +3 (euphonium is optional).

Fanfare for Friendship

Score & Parts

"Pangrams" (2024) is a work for strings using my musical cryptography technique. It explores several English pangrams - sentences containing each letter of the English alphabet. The four brief movements are character studies - the opening, a slow nocturne or dirge; the second a sardonic scherzo; the third an aria; and the fourth, a tarantella-esque dance. While the pitch material is derived from the musical cryptogram, the other elements - form, orchestration, rhythm, character, etc. are left up to the creativity of the composer. 

The violins are divided into four parts. There are solos for violin 1 and cello. This is accessible to college and professional-level orchestras.

III.The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over the Lazy Dog
