Joy, happiness, pleasure, and delight are the exact feelings I experience in my new role as grandpa. I set out to capture these feelings in my latest composition, “New Joy”, using the lilting 6/8 meter for the basis of a melody I derived from listening to my grandson hum as he played with his toys. The rhythm attempts to match his boundless energy and exuberance for life. There’s nothing like seeing life through the eyes of a child, and with each additional grandchild, the joy is multiplied.

Power and Dominion is a dramatic work for concert band that takes inspiration from epic and adventurous video game soundtracks.

This piece depicts the brutality and shifting powers found in action adventure video game campaigns, ultimately resulting in the hero's everlasting dominion.

Our Land (This Land is your Land) was written to explore variations both
  in meter signature and melody. The composition begins with a traditional
  trumpet fanfare leading into an energetic opening. After a hint of the
  melody, the piece moves into a multi-meter development of melodic motifs. The
  middle section is slower and portrays some of the growing pains our country
  has gone through. You hear dialogue between different instruments, questions
  and arguments leading into a quiet statement of the main melody. The
  bombastic ending will have the audience clapping right along to this famous
  patriotic melody.

Our Land

Fire Trail is an upbeat and adventurous piece for young band. The title
  comes from an intense hiking path in the foothills of the Santa Monica
  Mountains of the same name.
    
    Written in an ABA form, the piece begins with an energetic melody and a
  syncopated rhythmic drive that continues throughout the piece. The middle
  section settles into a more relaxed, lengthened melody, but the ever-present
  rhythmic drive builds to a modulated recapitulation of the main theme as an
  exciting conclusion to the piece.

Falcon 9 is a rocket designed and manufactured by SpaceX certified for
  transporting humans to the International Space Station, 
    
    and the only commercial rocket to launch humans to orbit. 
    
    
    
    This composition was written to portray a Falcon 9 voyage beginning with
  the predawn quietness, moving into an intense 
    
    ramped-up rhythmical launch. The rocket soars through the atmosphere with
  epic music taking on the shape of the rockets 
    
    trajectory into space. As the rocket reaches outer space, the music changes
  into a slower suspended sound with a floaty and 
    
    ethereal melody. The rocket returns to earth using the earlier epic music
  to complete the mission.

O Waly Waly is an old Scottish folk song that dates back to the early
  1700s. The song tells of the progression of love from something that is
  yearned and fought for, into something that grows deep and lasting, until
  finally fading into memories past. 
  This lovely arrangement creates the image of moving water through
  shifting colors, a constant push and pull dynamic effect, and the beautiful
  folk song melody floating effortlessly throughout the ensemble.

Saddle Up depicts the life of a cowboy driving a herd of cattle across
  the western plains.  
    
    Inspired by the music of Aaron Copland, the piece is written in ABA form.
  The optimistic 
    
    beginning features an energetic melody which depicts the rugged terrain and
  its unevenness.
    
    Transitioning to a peaceful campfire scene, the woodwinds and brass
  exchange a flowing 
    
    melodic waltz.  A triumphant
  restatement of the opening melody brings the piece to a 
    
    resonating end, completing another successful drive.
