New upload! THE JOURNEY was written as an avenue of refreshing. It is an instrumental composition that has several short movements that are bridged from one to the other. Toward the end, many of the themes merge in and out, hopefully bringing a plea…

Hi Gary, Your music is very emotional and beautiful. If there are lyrics, they could be played by Myriad Harmony Assistant with Virtual Singer. Please try. Thanks and regards.

Thank you Anthony for the kind words. It's a labor of love, but definitely a labor for me. I stare at the empty score like an artist painter does a canvas, often wondering how it will begin (laugh). I may have an idea, but never a completed thought.

Hi Gary, Your arrangement of This is my Father`s World is indeed worthy of all the great arrangers/orchestrators. I find it quite hard to input the emotions that I`m searching for - it`s so essential to score for the right instruments at the right emotional time, and you certainly have achieved it with this score. Perhaps I`m not pondering for hours over the next bar, as you so humorously put it.
Good to meet you.

About Me:
I love all kinds of music. I enjoy composing, arranging, and orchestrating. I have over 1000 published works including adult musicals, youth musicals, children’s musicals, choral collections, octavos, solos, worship choruses, orchestrations, and instrumental music.

I guess I would be considered a hermit (laugh) because of the time required to write. Often, I spend hours looking at one measure trying to figure out how to get to the next.

While at the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas, I studied composition with Merle Ellis and Dr. William Latham. I was also priviledged to study theory pedagogy under Dr. Robert Ottman.
