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 TIME TRAVELER
THE TIME TRAVELER is an ambitious four-movement suite for advanced wind ensemble, about 17-18 minutes long, and a strong level 5. It tells an epic story, sonically portraying eras of the past, present and future. The work is influenced by thematic suites from the symphonic tradition (The Planets, Pictures at an Exhibition, etc), and by the great story-telling music of our own time, filmscore and soundtrack music. It’s designed to be imaginative, challenging for the players, and involving and fun for the audience.
The sound and style of the piece reflect my own musical values, with an emphasis on iconic melodies, musical world-building (the creation of a unique musical vocabulary for each piece), narrative flow, and the kind of rhythmic drive and momentum that wind ensembles are especially well-suited for, with their large percussion sections, multiple mallet instruments, piano and harp.
Movements
I INTO THE MULTIVERSE (Overture)
II THE ANCIENTS (The Past)
III ACCELERATION (The Present/Near Future)
IV HERE AMONG THE STARS (The Far Future)
I’d love to have you aboard for this. It’s an ambitious work and will require a significant consortium. Please get in touch if you’re interested in participating.

THE INFORMATION AGE

San Fernando Valley Symphony, James Domine conducting, May 2015

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.
