  I am a composer of concert music.  
 

 
  I was fortunate enough to have two of my pieces for saxophones, Move Over and Sneakin' Around reviewed by David Dempsey, Professor of Music and Coordinator of Jazz Studies at William Paterson University. The reviews were published in Saxophone Today Magazine. Read the Review  
 

 
 

Click on the title below to open a new window that contains an audio player and some short notes on the piece. The computer generated performances use the digital samples of instruments included in the Sibelius music notation software. Please bear with the sounds and if available, please listen through a decent set of headphones.

The pieces are eagerly awaiting live performances. If you hear something you would like to pursue, please contact me and I will gladly send you pdf's of the score and parts.
