Brass Quartet 2 with Snare
Most of the music is this piece is inspired by the opening four measure melody in the trumpet. The melody is restated, transformed, and referred to in excerpts. The intervals and rhythms evolve from the beginning until the end. There are contrasting sections offering different moods or feeling, accomplished through changing harmonic and rhythmic settings.Brass Quartet 2 with Snare

Brass Quartet 1
This music was composed for guitar and later altered and transcribe for brass quartet. It was composed in preparation for the 2013 Cascadia Composers October concert. It has a traditional tonal setting and fanfares. I tried to weave the voicing equally between the instruments; trumpet, horn, trombone, and tuba.Brass Quartet 1

Sorrow, Anger, and Despair
I wanted to create something that expresses the deep, sad feelings I have experience over my life. It is not an attempt to focus on any one event, but the impact of looking at all of them, the spiral of reviewing one after the other, until it becomes an overwhelming powerful storm of depression.
