				Mantra Canon / chorus, chamber orchestra, percussion, 2 pianos, descant soprano / 30 minutes
				Mantra Canon is a massive high-minimalist work full of surprises (including definitely non-minimalist fugues and bitonality).

Available from Frog Peak Music

				Missingen March / band / 3 minutes
				This march was created for my absence during two consecutive Kalvos & Damian shows in March of 1996 -- hence the title. It's a tricky piece that's a lot of fun -- like all my marches, for who could write a serious march these days? Please use the contact form for copies of the parts. Non-streaming (downloadable) MP3.

				Contrabass Part
				Commissioned by the Montpelier Chamber Orchestra Society. A brief, gaudy, and delightful fanfare with call-and-response aleatory section. Note: The Midi file is not crafted to include the glissandi and slides, and instrumentation presently doesn't match General Midi. Best to use the audio version for a serious audition. Available from Frog Peak Music

				A complex score for the Vermont Symphony Orchestra, which they were unable to play. It is an homage to the third of my heroes, Frank Zappa, and uses tricky rhythms and substantial transparent layering. Not for the faint of heart. Non-streaming (downloadable) MP3. Available from Frog Peak Music

				Softening Cries / orchestra / 20 minutes
				Commissioned and premiered by the Sage City Symphony (and applauded by its players), this exquisite composition threads melodies and textures into an evocative and time-suspended cloth. Each instrumental part is uniquely rewarding, but the work requires a sensitive directorial hand. Please use the contact form for copies of the parts. Available from Frog Peak Music

				Set of parts in Finale ETF format.
				Violin 1 A/B Part
				Violin 1 A Part
