    This String Quartet is a balance of dramatic and lyrical material, varying greatly. The opening movement begins with poignant polyphony, but then morphs into rapid-fire exciting passage work in the central portion, returning in time to the quieter mood of the beginning. Movement II reminds one of a classic Siciliano, with its dotted rhythmic patterns […]

    Inspired by Debussy’s Sonata for ‘Cello, the movement titles suggest a scenario in which the two players interact somewhat like actors in a series of scenes. In “Proclamation” the piano clearly opposes the ideas put forward by the cello. the “attaca” 2nd movt., “Repartee” finds them backing off their confrontation, and exchanging somewhat barbed witicisms […]

    Overture/Rondo is a transcription and rearrangement of the third and final movement of my Concerto for Piano and Small Orchestra. The original soloist’s role has now been re-distributed, alternating between the two pianists, and other such adjustments have been made to more equitably divide the music.

    Elegance and Superstition is a piece that was born out of a musical gesture and a guiding principle. The gesture consists of two notes tossed upward, like balls into the air. There is a pause, and they are tossed again, this time a bit higher. The guiding principle is derived from something that composer Eve […]

    This is a work likens it to the sands of life. constant moving, shifting but never straying to far. trying to find your way as a spec in the giant ocean of time. More of a feeling forward. written for the Alcyon Ensemble in massachusetts and performed many times. a crowd favorite.

    Little contemporary music is written for the Harpsichord, so “Andante and Jubilation” for Harpsichord, Flute and Cello is a welcome addition to the available new music. The music is written idiomatically for all three instruments. The result is a sound that achieves a fresh expression of Baroque sensibilities without attempting to copy that period’s idioms.
