MUSIC

compositions & arrangements

Here's an excerpt of some of the pieces I've written for various orchestras around the globe as well as some stuff that has not been recorded yet. Some pieces are MIDI mockups using Finale and the Garritan Jazz & Big Band sample library. When I write new material I always send out these mockups along with the parts and score so the musicians can get an idea about the piece before the first rehearsal.

If you'd like to purchase a piece, please drop me a line at  I read my eMails every day and will get to you in no time. Almost all pieces are for sale as PDFs. If you are looking for something specific, please let me know.
