  ours: will we pursue the dream and make it reality?

Simple yet soulfully bittersweet adagio for orchestra, suitable as a
  farewell or memorial. Begins with celli in three-part harmony before swelling
  to the full string choir. The woodwinds feature in a contrasting section,
  which gives way to a return of the main theme in the full orchestra. The work
  closes with a gently rising solo line shared by the trumpet and trombone.

A cheerful retrospective mashup of two genres of music: a cappella barbershop quartets and big band swing dancing music. Lots of fun for both performers and audiences! Can easily accommodate a dozen percussionists, but can also be played successfully with as few as three.

Christmas Prelude

Five-minute concert work that features the woodwind section. An initial
  clarinet and bassoon duet foreshadows the passionate main theme in the upper
  strings, accompanied by castanets and habanera bass line. An oboe solo begins
  the more tender second theme, soon swelling into the full orchestra. The main
  theme repeats in a more dramatic statement, evoking a sweeping invitation to
  adventure beyond the horizon. The second theme follows again, and the solo
  clarinet quietly closes the piece much as it began.
