Memoirs in Time - Orchestra Tuning

The work was commissioned by Philip and Shelley Martinson with support from Southwestern Oklahoma State University. The piece is written in four separate movements and is a multifunctional work.  The movements can be played separately for specific occasions. The second movement, 'A Prayer for Peace,' would certainly stand alone for a church service. The third movement, 'So Cool,' could well be used separately as an encore for any program. The last movement, 'Pan and Syrinx,' could be used in a children's concert.

Four Vignettes for Flute and Trombone

Duet

This four-movement work is meant to be a musical conversation equally shared by all five participants.  The entire work was dramatically affected by local events occurring during its creation from the spring of 2012 to the fall of the same year.  Similar to other orchestras across the country, the Indianapolis Symphony faced difficult decisions as the orchestra musicians and management dealt with a financial crisis during contract negotiations.  Orchestral musicians around the globe have experienced the emotions depicted in this work, as society deals with the dilemma of sustaining and supporting the arts.  Note that there is a substitute cello part which can be used instead of bass if desired.

Dialogues

Quintet

This work, commissioned by Paul Compton and Joshua Brown, was written to commemorate the tragic events of 9/11 and to honor those who lost their lives that day and later the first responders who experienced the residual effects of breathing in the air during rescue work.
