for mixed septet | 13'30" | Chiaroscuro was composed in 1991 for the CONVERGENCE Ensemble, a group of dancers and musicians, who gave the first performance at The Painted Bride Gallery in Philadelphia.

for Standard or Bass Flute and Computer-Generated Track | 5'30" | Commissioned by Peter Sheridan in 2011, In A Winter Landscape is an introspective composition intended to convey an austere winter landscape after a powerful storm.

for flute alone | 4'30" | A showpiece for the solo flutist, Far Corners is a set of five variations which explore unexpectedly interesting aspects of the opening musical idea. To this end I exploited harmonics, quick changes of register, and my own quirky sense of humor. Several listeners have mentioned that the second variation tricked them into thinking there were really two […] More info & view score » | ||||
for flute and piano | 3'25" | “Picnic” asks the mid-level flutist to interact with the score, to find the most naturally beautiful tone of their instrument which will bring the emotional core of the piece to life.

for flute quartet (2 C flutes, alto, bass) | 4'10" | Barbara was written in honor of Barbara Bowerman (1914-2010). Her husband, Bill Bowerman (1911-1999), was a famed track and field coach and cofounder of NIKE. In my 2007 commissioned symphonic biography of Bill’s life, the essential, recurring “Barbara” theme is always played by the flute. This chamber work for flute quartet takes that “Barbara” theme […] More info & view score » | ||||
for flute and organ | 4'45" | Peaceful Spirit is a gentle, idyllic piece that might best be described as a pastorale. The Flute and Organ play together in a quiet give-and-take dialog. Neither part is difficult. It is appropriate anywhere a soft, melodic piece is called for. Audience appeal is very strong. More info & view score » | ||||
for flute, clarinet and percussion | 4' 30" | LYRIC SCHERZO was commissioned in its original form for flute, french horn and percussion by the San Francisco Bay Area’s Teal Crane Trio and premiered by them in 2014.

for flute, clarinet and piano | 6' | The Trio for flute, clarinet in A and piano has to be interpreted as a long Recitative. The original intention was to describe a metaphoric mountain climb with various happenings until reaching the summit. The work is divided into sections and it comprehends various combinations of instruments: flute starts alone with the first recitative, then […] More info & view score » |
