Greetings, friends! I hope you are enjoying your summer as much as I am! Along with some exciting woodworking projects, gardening, and visits with family and friends, I’m working on several compositions that I’m enjoying.
I’ve been writing a set of “Three Preludes for Piano,” each based on an inspiring place - Garrett Chapel in the Finger Lakes of NY, Rockingham Meeting House in the Green Mountains of VT, and Parrocchia San Martino in Ispra, Italy. I’m co-writing the preludes with my wife Ashley which is super fun.
I recently created a wind band transcription of my SSAA choral work “Our Light.” The band version is titled “Message of Light,” and I’m thrilled with how it came out!
I’m also working on a jazzy tango-inspired piece about the adventures of the French character Arsene Lupin. I’ve sketched the piece out for piano and I’m starting to orchestrate it for wind band. I think it is going to be a really fun piece! Stay tuned for more!
