Dos Danzas for Concert Band Play

Composer

Commissioned by Miller Asbill and The Texas Tech Univ. Concert Band. As if emerging from a fog, I. Tangential Tango, is a sultry bitonal dance. II. Gallo Fino literally translates from Spanish as “fine rooster."

A World of Sighs for Mixed Choir

Composer

Weaves together texts from different characters in Shakespeare's play, Othello. "Willow," the song Desdemona sings just moments before her death, is set against Othello's words of love for his wife. The 2 trees symbolize disappointed & dejected love.

Wrought Iron (2012) for Flute and Percussion was commissioned by the Albany (NY) Symphony Orchestra as part of the Capital Region Heritage Commissions project... Flute & Percussion (Vibraphone, Tambourine, Bongos, Triangle, Sizzle/China Cymbals)

Wild Silk Play

Composer

Wild Silk (2009) for baritone saxophone, percussion and piano was commissioned by the Primary Colors Trio. I found inspiration in the strikingly beautiful and elusive Luna Moth. The form of this piece loosely follows its lifecycle.

Half Moon Nocturne Play

Composer

For Cl, Bsn, Hn, Pf, Vn, Va, Vc, Db (2007), was commissioned by, and is dedicated to, H. Robert Reynolds and the Detroit Chamber Winds and Strings. It is a sonic exploration of the beautiful Pinckney Recreation Area in Southeast Michigan.

#@&%!* (expletive deleted) for Percussion Quartet Play

Composer

2000. This dynamic piece exhibits a heightened state of frenetic energy through explosive outbursts and a bubbling undercurrent of churning rhythmic figures. It explores disparate musical influences.

Luna di seta for Alto Flute

Composer

Luna di seta was inspired by the strikingly beautiful and elusive Luna Moth. The piece loosely follows its life as a caterpillar, which must pass through 5 instars before metamorphosis and maturity. Does the earth-bound caterpillar dream of flight?
