I invite you to consider my latest holiday pops piece, “A Festive Holiday.” It's an exciting orchestral piece, and has been performed to great audience acclaim across the country. It would make a dramatic opening or closing number for your next holiday concert!
“Ding Dong! Merrily on High,” “Go, Tell It on the Mountain!” and “O Holy Night” have been performed by many orchestras and choruses around the country, and “I Saw Three Ships Come Fiddling In” is perfect for groups wishing to feature their violin section — Lexington Symphony even performed it with Irish dancers!
I invite you to explore my simple but effective arrangement of “How Can I Keep from Singing?”
I was honored to have my holiday piece “Behold a Simple, Tender Babe” premiered by the world-renowned ensemble Chanticleer. It would make a lovely addition to your next holiday choral concert!
Please explore my many choral works, which feature a great variety of styles, occasions, and difficulty levels.
I've had many of my orchestral pieces premiered in Los Angeles, and I also spent a fair amount of time orchestrating for various film composers.
You can explore some samples of my film-inspired concert music here. (This part of the Listen & Watch page includes samples of both actual film music and programmatic concert music.)
I was thrilled to have my “Serenade for String Orchestra and Piano” premiered recently at Hancher Auditorium, which was written to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Preucil School of Music.
Another piece I wrote for the Preucil School of Music is ”Remembrances,” a lush and emotionally powerful string orchestra piece.
An award-winning documentary film which I wrote the music for has aired multiple times on PBS: “A Friend Indeed: The Bill Sackter Story” is the moving account of a mentally challenged man who became a national hero for the disability community. Click here to explore my music.
My “Five Pieces for Violin and Piano” was premiered by the world-renowned Avita Duo.
My new oboe piece “Sketches of Scotland for Oboe and Piano” will soon be premiered by oboist Dr. David Cyzak. Each of the four movements is inspired by the natural beauty of Scotland.
I'm looking forward to collaborating with bassoonist Benjamin Coelho on a new bassoon sonata.
