WORKS IN PROGRESS/COMMISSION OPPORTUNITIES
Here are a few ideas that I have in the pipeline. I’m always looking for partners in the wind ensemble world to help support new projects. If you’d like to participate in or help organize a commissioning consortium for any of these works (or for any project ideas of your own) I’d love to hear from you.

THE INFORMATION AGE
THE INFORMATION AGE is a “symphonic invention”, an intricate and challenging wind ensemble piece at about a grade 4.5-5 level. It’s a musical portrait of a fast-moving, hyper-active futuristic society, overflowing with melodies and intricate passage-work. See the dedicated page on this website for full consortium details.

TALES OF SCIENCE AND MAGIC
TALES OF SCIENCE AND MAGIC will be a Cinematic Suite, in the style of my earlier work THE TIME TRAVELER. Epic, ambitious, multi-movement, eventually around 20-24 minutes long. Based on my love of speculative fiction, and exploring its two great aspects – science fiction (our intellectual/logical side) and fantasy (our intuitive side). Movements in progress include CITY OF LIGHT and THINKING MACHINE on the sci-fi side, contrasted by THE SORCERER and SPRITES on the fantasy side. I’m shooting for six movements all together Projected to be in the 4.5-5 difficulty range. Challenging, but not so difficult as to be inaccessible. I’m pointing for an exclusivity period of calendar year 2024 for this one.

DAYS OF DISTANCE
DAYS OF DISTANCE is a mini horn concerto, consisting of two movements, probably about ten minutes long in total. The first movement will be lyrical in nature and the longer of the two, designed especially to take advantage of the beauty and nobility of the french horn. The second movement will be a scherzo/finale – fast, fun and full of great horn riffs, not to mention some challenging passages in the ensemble. The horn part will be virtuosic, while the ensemble parts will be a strong level 4, maybe a 4+. I’ve been workshopping this in my composer’s group for a while already and I have some early rehearsal audio that I can show to interested parties.
