Fredericksburg Fanfare Grade 4-5; $75.00 Score
Written for the 2017 Fredericksburg Brass Institute, this gripping fanfare oscillates between consonance and dissonance, with brilliant flourishes and calls and soaring melodies that come together to form a powerful mass of sound. For large brass choir, this work is designed to be played by players of differing ability levels (for example, the trumpet Choir 1 parts are much more difficult than the Choir 2 parts), enabling high school and college or professional players to play side-by-side. This is a longer fanfare (4 minutes).

The Maniacs Grade 5-6; $45.00 Score
Commissioned by the Vice City Brass, this crazy scherzo-like piece depics both the reckless and lazy side of Miami drivers, of which we Miami bikers live in constant fear. With meter changes, abrupt transitions, and frenzied melodies, the opening and closing sections are a great showcase for every member of the quintet, but the middle section is a musical showcase, with intersecting lines, complex harmonies, and a beautiful melody soaring over everything. A great concert opener.

Sketches for Brass and Percussion Grade 5-6; $75.00 Score
This dramatic work is composed of three main ideas, which are cycled through twice. The first idea, with a light rhythmic accompaniment, is a soaring melody in Lydian mode. The second idea is a fanfare, built off a descending scale pattern. The third idea, which is separated from the others by a soloistic section built off an ascending motif, is a third fanfare, this time built off an ascending scale pattern. This work ranges from loud and exciting to quiet and peaceful. Challenging parts all around.

Skyscapes (for Brass Septet) Professional $125.00 Score
This is an exciting journey, over four movements, encompassing an extreme range of emotions and textures. Each movement embodies a particular "skyscape", from the clear blue of a spring morning to the dark, brooding summer thunderstorm. All the material is based off of five thematic elements, presented in the first movement. From the initial fanfare, open and cutting, Skyscapes morphs them until, by the end of the final fanfare, they are transformed into a dazzling sound world, lush and powerfully moving. Scored for two Trumpets (playing C and D Trumpets and Flugelhorn), 2 F Horns, Tenor and Bass Trumbones, and Tuba, this extremely demanding work will connect with audience and players alike.
