I have recently been commissioned by the Phi Tau Chapter (University of North Texas) of Mu Phi Epsilon to compose a new work for Flute and Alto Saxophone. The commission is for AVIDuo: Brittany Primavera, flute, and Jeffery Kyle Hutchins, saxophone. The work, Leonardo's Sketchbook, is a collection of short two-part inventions.

I have embedded video of Ben Munisteri's Robot vs Mermaid which uses my River Lights for Orchestra. Thanks again to Ben and the dancers for four gorgeous performances this past June. The video is on the video page, and you can see more of Ben's choreography at Ben Munisteri's website.

Farrell Vernon's new CD High Notes has been officially released! The CD features my Moments, once remembered for sopranino saxophone and guitar. Thank you Farrell and Laura Lydy for a fantastic performance!

The CD is available for downloading on iTunes and Amazon.com, as well as other fine retailers. Please visit the Recordings page for more information.

Two new pieces! In Passing for Chamber Orchestra, and Tangents for Solo Marimba. Score samples and notes are online now. Also, I have transcribed Dying Light for Alto Saxophone and Piano from the original Cello and Piano...a score sample is available. Finally, I have added score samples and program notes for all three movements of the violin concerto.

Thanks to Ben Munisteri for using River Lights in his new work, Robot vs. Mermaid! The dance is gorgeous! It also got me my first mention in the New York TImes, which is now on my Reviews page.
