I'm excited to be putting together a commission consortium for a new SATB and piano anthem for Easter. Day of Wonder, Day of Gladness will be a perfect opener/call to worship/processional for Resurrection Sunday. While 4-part, much of the choral writing will be 2-part and even unison, so it will be easier to learn and put together. Choirs of all sizes will be able to perform this new work successfully!
Only $75 to join. Click here for more info and to join the consortium! Thanks!
From my trip to Chicago this past December for the Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic. It's always an amazing time in an amazing city!
It's always a exciting to be at the Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic; I've been attending most years since 2001, and exhibiting with some colleagues for the past four years (minus 2020 for covid). Arthur Breur, Garrett Hope and myself make up TPC Collective, which is a hub for finding our music for band and orchestra. From there, we have links to our individual websites.
This year was the first time I've had a piece selected for one of the reading sessions: Heroes Return for beginner bands.
Midwest always…
Hot off the press! My newest Christmas carol setting for solo piano, Still, Still, Still, is now available! Suitable for church services or recitals, this is a stark, yet inviting setting of the Austrian carol. Click here to preview and order.
I recently learned that my beginner band piece Heroes Return will be on the Band New Music Reading Session at this year's Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic. This is the first time I've had a piece selected for a Midwest reading session, and I couldn't be happier!
The session will be Monday, December 19 at 10:30 - Noon in W178 (McCormack Place). For a demo/preview of the piece, click here.
If you're at Midwest, I'd love to see you there!

On my Gumroad page, you can buy many of my compositions as E-Print only (no physical products to ship). Everything is PDF delivery and instant. I'll also run the occasional deal on sheet music, for example: discounting Christmas music in the months leading up to the holidays.
The Good Samaritan
Canata for Mezzo, Tenor, Baritone, Bass, SATB and Chamber Orchestra. Based on the parable in the Gospel of Luke, chapter 10.
