WELCOME

Welcome to my composer website! Please feel free to wander around the place;  use the tabs at the top of the screen to guide you. You are welcome to look at sample scores, recordings and other items of interest.  A Contact tab allows you to get in touch for more information on my music.

​

I am pleased to announce the release of my new CD and streaming project!  While I Run This Race: Music of Hope, Dedication and Celebration, presents music inspired by Black American culture.  Two major chamber works frame the recording:  Langston's Lot, a song cycle for tenor, alto saxophone and piano, based on the poetry of Langston Hughes, and While I Run this Race, for piano trio, based on the spiritual, Guide My Feet While I Run This Race. The recording is completed with two pieces for solo organ, also based on traditional spirituals. 

​

The recording is available through AMP Recordings and may also be obtained through major streaming services. For more information, please see the News tab!

My latest project for the Heidelberg School of Music and Theater arrives this fall!  I am busy working on incidental music and sound design for the Theatre's November production of William Shakespeare's Macbeth.  Director Karla Kash is planning to set her production during the Prohibition Era of the 1920s.  This provides all kinds of wonderful challenges for my score!  No bagpipes this time!   How about a slew of saxophones instead? 

​

If you are in the vicinity of Tiffin, Ohio this November, please mark your calendar; I would love to see you!
