Just completed Nantucket Sound. This concert overture is a spirited grade 2.5 piece - I'm pleased with how it turned out. You can give it a listen and learn more about it here.

I so enjoy writing for young band students. The challenge of grabbing the interest of a developing musician through any particular piece of music is so rewarding. This latest piece is far from subtle, and I hope it grabs somebody :-)

My latest composition is a piece for string orchestra. White Clouds On a Blue Sky begins and ends quietly, but has some big moments as well. Learn more about the piece and give it a listen here.

What a treat to visit with the members of the Dennis-Yarmouth Concert Band and their fine director, Alex Pendleton.

I got to listen and offer some suggestions as they prepare RED RIGHT RETURN, a piece I wrote for them this past year. It is a celebration of a return to "normalcy" and a way of promoting the great place in which they live: Cape Cod, MA.

Mr. Pendleton and the band will premiere the piece at their winter concert on January 12, 2023. I can't wait to hear the results of all their hard work.

Here is an advanced concert band version of my latest full orchestra piece. This was the first time I used this approach – from the start, conceptualizing a piece that might work well in both settings.

Just over 6 minutes in length, it serves as a celebration of the Cape Cod National Seashore. Established by JFK over 60 years ago, this National Park follows 40 miles of the North Atlantic coast of Cape Cod. NORTH TO RACE POINT intends to capture the beauty of this national treasure.
