For the past few years I have been asked by Adam Frey to write a major arrangement for the International Euphonium Institute (IEI).  This work is for 4 euphoniums and 4 tubas.  I tried to capture as much of the original Brahms as possible.

This arrangement features themes from various Bruckner symphonies.  Also written for the IEI, again using 4 euphoniums and 4 tubas.

For the most recent IEI the challenge came to score this movement of Church Windows for 4 euphoniums and 4 tubas.  What a powerhouse!

While on faculty at Bowling Green State University I often partnered with other studios to give chamber concerts.  One of my absolute favorites the bassoon studio.  I score a version of this famous Henry Mancini tune for contrabassoon solo with mixed ensemble of bassoons, euphoniums and tubas.

While trying to select rep to perform with the bassoons I had the hair-brained idea to do some Gabrieli.  Why not?  Many of the works of his time period were for unspecified instruments....  Maybe he would have wanted this....

Upon hearing of the passing of one of my best friends and longtime colleagues I sat down to write a memorial work to be performed by his students at his service.  I combined a number of his favorite works into a medley for trumpet ensemble.

While working with a local youth theatre organization I had the chance to conduct a holiday concert with a regional orchestra.  I decided to combine the two groups to perform a number of selections together.  I arranged this for vocals with strings and light winds.

A local musician that I have performed with decided to do a recording project and wanted to add a solo cello line.  He asked me to compose the line and above is the computer version superimposed over his original vocal.
