Professional Works
Lullaby for English Horn and Viola
Set contains alternate clarinet and cello parts.
Commissioned in 1999 by Jennifer Cooper, oboe.
Commissioned in 1999, Lullaby explores the unique timbre pairing of English Horn and Viola. It features introspective melodies in flat key areas, a free-flowing tempo in 6/4 time, and an active dialog between the two parts. This set also includes alternate parts for Clarinet and Cello, allowing for four different performance combinations. Teachers needing a unique pairing for solo and ensemble festival, look no further!

Sinfonia for String Orchestra
Adapted from Two Movements for String Quartet.
Adapted in 2002; revised in 2004, 2016, and 2026.
Sinfonia has a light, energetic, and playful sound. This is a great work to introduce non-traditional harmonies to your orchestra as it utilizes quartal and triadic chords constructed from traditional major and minor scales. Additionally, using a conventional sonata-allegro form, Sinfonia explores the use of ostinato figures, thematic variation, and musical texture. Players will also develop their skills using multiple bowing techniques, shifting through seventh position, and a few passages in tenor clef for the cellos. This is truly an engaging work for advanced high school players!
