Today I present my original composition, COUNTRY DANCE #3. I completed this piece in 2005 and scored it for guitar. Below is a screenshot of the title page from the autograph score:
This little piece is the third of three country dances I wrote for the guitar. They are meditations on the bucolic joy to be found in our natural world.

Today I present my original composition, CRY OF THE MORNING LOON. I completed this piece in 2021 and scored it for English horn. Below is a screenshot of the title page from the printed score:
Composed for my father on our birthday (we were both born on March 10), this music continues a noticeable trend in my work toward a rather eclectic ethnicism. Due, in part, to the fabulous world instruments sample library I am fortunate to possess, I am free to explore the many exotic musical techniques and scale patterns that so fascinate me. Note, however, that I composed this music for the English horn—a well established western instrument!
