Emeritus Recordings has just released a new CD that contains some of my chamber music compositions. “Collage” features Conundrum, Cincinnati’s Premiere Chamber Ensemble. Also featured are the winners of the prestigious Co-op Press 2007 Recording Competition that includes members of the New World Symphony. The CD contains “meditation and Dance” for oboe, cello and harp; “Scenes from Tom Sawyer” for flute, clarinet, piano, and narrator; “Three Preludes” for flute and guitar; “Sonatina” for oboe and bassoon; and “Four Poems” for soprano, flute, clarinet, and piano.

I hope that you enjoy my music.
I also want to invite you to visit my blog site that contains a log about my composing activities and a place for readers to comment and ask questions. I have created this site in order to provide performers, listeners and composers with a detailed description of a composer's daily experiences with the creative process. The posts will provide discussions of the inspirations, challenges, and successes of a composer from the inception of the piece to the culmination in performance. I also provide a link to where you can see and hear the works in progress. Comments and questions are always welcomed. Here is the link:
