Today I present my original composition, WEDDING GIFT.  I completed this piece in 1992 and scored it for viola and cello.  Below is a screenshot of the title page from the autograph score:


Many years ago, a violist asked if I would compose a piece of music for use at a wedding; something brief, bright, and of a spirit befitting the occasion.  This little duet for viola and cello was the result of my effort.  For this rather unusual combination, I composed a theme and a couple of variations.

Today I present my original composition, SPRING.  I completed this piece in 2007 and scored it for cello.  Below is a screenshot of the title page from the autograph score:


I designed this music for solo cello to conjure images of my other favorite season—that of rebirth and new hope, playful young ones with light and happy hearts, floral colors, poly-melodious birdsong and all that inspires the sensitive soul.
