Greensleeves

Flexible Instrumentation Score & Parts

Ensemble

Scherzo is a fast and exhilarating brass quintet work.  The piece begins in three as does most
  pieces associated with scherzo but the piece essentially resets halfway
  through and three becomes intertwined with four to really emphasize the
  joke which scherzo actually derives from. 
  Time and harmony move in unexpected ways and will keep the performers
  and listeners intrigued throughout the entire piece.

Scherzo

Brass Quintet

Do you have an all-star clarinet player or section in your beginning
  band?  Bring your student/s up to the
  front of the stage and showcase their talent in an end of the year
  concert.  This piece gives the clarinet
  an exercise all around the lower range and offers a few optional moments to
  go over the break in this concerto-like tune.

The moments of tranquility after the sun dips under the horizon are often
  breathtaking.  The sky can be gold
  fading into night and when clouds are present, the sky becomes a canvas of
  unlimited color.  After Sunset paints
  the through its beautiful melodies and shifting meters.  The piece gives young string players the
  opportunity to play in different meters as it moves between 4/4 and 3/4.  
    
    After Sunset is written for two violins and cello but also has optional
  viola and bass parts as well as a piano accompaniment part.  Take note of the forte-piano at measure 17
  as this is the moment that the sun has passed the horizon and night is now
  fading.  There are many moments of
  alternating bowing within micro-phrases such as the moments with two eighth
  notes a quarter notes and another two eighths followed by a quarter.

This is a short and fun piece for alto sax quartet that can be played by
  one person in a virtual performance or by a quartet live.  This piece can also work for a soprano sax,
  tenor sax or even a bari sax quartet as the piece makes use of the full
  practical range of the saxophone. 
  Note: this piece would not be ideal for a true sax quartet with the
  full family at the parts are not transposed. 
  Make note of the C#s throughout the piece as they are a key color
  throughout Blue Rose as well as a great tool to practice focusing on the tone
  and intonation of this tricky note.

Ukrainian bell carol meets Dies Irae in this beautiful arrangement for
  trumpet quartet and piano.  The
  luscious arpeggios lay a nice foundation for the trumpeting melodies to play
  upon.  Melody and harmony go in
  unforeseen ways throughout the piece all while laying hints of reverent bells
  throughout.

Bells of Reverence

Bells of the Christmas Tree City is a fun and lively holiday compilation that is inspired by the holiday season from my hometown.  Jingle Bells, Carol of the Bells and church bells can be heard throughout this piece.  The church bells could be heard all throughout our small city and during the holidays the downtown was booming with holiday carols and parades.  This piece only uses the first 6 notes learned in most beginning band method books and challenges students with eight note rhythms, various articulations, dynamics and quick rests.

Take your holiday music up to a new level of excitement with A Joyful
  Celebration! This piece will make a great opener for any holiday concert and
  can dazzle fans in a parade with its energetic rhythms and fanfares.

A Joyful Celebration

This patriotic piece will be a staple in your brass quintet library.  The piece recalls the famous melody of Battle Hymn of the Republic in combination with familiar and new creative harmonies and accompaniments.

Battle Hymn of the Republic

All it takes is one movement to strike a fire.  The rhythmic energy in this piece is just
  that.  The punctuated 8th notes
  throughout this piece are aural representations of the sharp movements that
  can start a fire like two rocks striking each other or the striking of a
  match.  While fire is innately 
    
    dangerous and can cause so much damage it also is a natural part of life
  and often breeds new life in the case of natural wildfires.  The middle section of Incandescent
  Movements is about the life that is created in the aftermath of a fire and
  the beauty that comes with rebirth. 
  But, life is cyclic and fires are likely to happen again as portrayed
  in the finale of this piece.

Incandescent Movements

Scherzo is a fast and exhilarating woodwind quintet work. The piece begins in three as does most pieces associated with scherzo but the piece essentially resets halfway through and three becomes intertwined with four to really emphasize the joke which scherzo actually derives from. Time and harmony move in unexpected ways and will keep the performers and listeners intrigued throughout the entire piece.

Woodwind Quintet

This trombone octet is made up of three short and very diverse
  pieces.  The first piece is fast,
  exciting and changes meter often making for an interesting experience for the
  listener.  The second piece is slow and
  beautiful. Its haunting melody is passed around the ensemble in an almost
  malicious way.  As soon as it seems
  like the melody is leading somewhere another voice sneaks In and takes
  over.  The final piece is a quick march
  and the melodies in this tune are ilike something out of a dreami.  The melodic content is extracted from
  moments in the first two pieces but played in an almost over-the-top fashion
  which makes for a fun and exciting ending.

3 Short Pieces for 8 "Like Something out of a Dream..."

Trombone Octet

Take your listeners on a journey though the Sierra Nevada mountains and
  explore the wonder of places like Yosemite and the Sequoia National
  Park.  The melodies in this piece have
  a contour that resembles the triangular mountain ranges of the Sierras and
  students will ascend on their instruments to reach each peak before
  descending.

Journey Through the Sierras

Eruption takes young musicians on an exciting musical journey inside a volcano. The piece begins with a slow, brooding magma flow before bursting into a faster, energetic eruption. As the volcanic energy fades, the music cools and slows to a dramatic resolution. Designed for beginning bands, Eruption builds fundamentals while captivating students and audiences with vivid musical storytelling.
