A Quartet Fo[u]r Bassoons - bassoon quartet
Completed in December 2012, this piece not only features four bassoonists, but is centered around the tonal harmonies of chords by fourths. The pieces combines parallel motion of perfect fourth intervals, or quartal harmony, along with canonical entrances. The piece can be divided into four larger sections. Sections I and IV are quick and percussive, while sections II and III explore the same tonal world with long sustained chords.

Ignite - solo piano (medium advanced difficulty)
Treat yourself to a harmonically dense, yet tonal, piano solo that features syncopations, changing meters, and covers much of the 88 keys on the piano keyboard. Great for an advanced student to open or close a recital.

Two Movements for Trumpet, Horn, and Piano - brass trio (advanced difficulty)
Evoke images of waves and rapids through two separate movements composed specifically for trumpet, horn, and piano. The first movement is a clear representation of flowing waves, slowly crashing into one another, while the second movement offers quick and biting rhythms, with moments of tranquility, much like whitewater rafting.
