Variations for Solo Violin was written in 1988 for violinist/violist Christian Colberg, who premiered the work on recitals in Baltimore, Maryland and San Juan, Puerto Rico. The variations are composed not as a set of classical thematic variations, but rather studies in different moods linked to the harmonic underpinning of the opening theme, and infused […] More info & view score » | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

These pieces for violin and organ are based on folk melodies that are commonly used in contemporary hymnbooks. As such, they are individually useful for worship services. As a group they work quite well for recitals or study purposes. Protestant congregations will most likely be familiar with some of the melodies — some perhaps even […] More info & view score » | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

These “tasty snacks” grew out of a period of daily sketching. Any one of them or a grouping of several might be played as encores. These eight were chosen and arranged in this order from a group of 12 or 13 originally. They are dedicated to violinist Diane Monroe, who had given the premier of […] More info & view score » | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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 Solo Guitar | 5' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Quirky solo guitar piece for my good friend Nicholas Schuller. Having spent my mid-twenties hanging around guitarists studying at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, I became quickly enamored with this uniquely intimate and expressive instrument. The work was truly a labor of love, and recreates something of the time and memories I have from […] More info & view score » | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Christmas Carols with Guitar is a songbook of twelve classic carols arranged for guitar, and designed to work in two ways: as a strong accompaniment for singing, or as a set of lovely and user-friendly solo guitar arrangements at an intermediate level of difficulty. Gather the whole family, because these songs are in “the family […] More info & view score » | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The Dreams You Chase is a short, leisurely work for soprano saxophone and piano. The saxophone spins an ever-changing melodic line, with the piano providing important commentary around, above and below. The piece is of moderate difficulty, is suitable for undergraduate performers, and fits well in almost any programming context. A different version of The […] More info & view score » | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
