Welcome! Kick off your shoes, lean back, and enjoy some of my Original Compositions in Midi, MP3, and Sheet Music formats. Many of the scores are offered in Scorch format, and are mostly free. You will find a lot of music for piano, flute, clarinet, saxophone, and trombone, as well as for vocal groups, and larger instrument ensembles and orchestras.

My newest piece is Blues Appassionato for violin and piano. This rambunctious music is intended as a virtuoso concert piece for violin. Listen to the MP3 file, a wonderful performance by violinist Amy Beth Horman and pianist Frank Conlon. What a treat! You can also view/listen/print the score in sheet music format.

Another new piece is the piano solo: Melody for a New Age. I did not aim to write the piece in a "New Age" style--it just sort of happened! The structure is a simple theme and variations, with the original theme returning at the end. You can listen to the piece in MP3 format, or you can view/print the sheet music in PDF format.

Another recent piece, The Queen of Halloween is a fun composition for stage band. I wrote it specially for InterPLAY Company at Strathmore, a band for people with and without cognitive disabilities. The exact combination of instruments is not essential, as many of the parts are doubled. You can listen to the piece in MP3 format, or you can view/listen/print the score in sheet music format.

Tranquil and serene, another recent piece Visions expresses a pastoral landscape of gentle rolling hills and meadows. Contemporary harmonies constantly shift as a main melodic theme is introduced and transformed again and again. A secondary rhythmic theme also plays a central role. This piece was specially written for oboist, Kristana Johnson and pianist, Susan Alexander. You can listen to their marvelous performance in MP3 format, or you can view/listen/print the score in sheet music format.

Another recent piece is Love Songs of Yehuda Halevi, for alto and woodwind quintet. Yehuda Halevi was a physician who lived 900 years ago in Spain, who wrote many poems in both Hebrew and Arabic, on a wide range of subjects. His poems are beautiful, and I have tried to capture their exotic qualities in a Ladino style of melodic composition. You must hear this fantastic performance!

With the free downloadable "Scorch" plugin, you can view and simultaneously listen to my sheet music at the SibeliusMusic site. You can print the scores for some of my compositions for free, while others can be printed for a nominal price. In addition, parts for some of the pieces are available for printing.
