I'm arranging/composing accompaniments for the melodies in the back of the Arban's Book. Each melody has two recordings: The first includes the trumpet playing the melody, the second is only background music. 

Melody 7 - My Own Guiding Star (With Melody)

Melody 7 - My Own Guiding Star (No Melody)

My arrangement of Pure Imagination from Willy Wonka and Imagine by John Lennon for Brass Quintet and Harp. Recording taken from the end of my senior recital at Peabody March 4, 2014. 

Imagine Pure Imagination

My brass quartet arrangement of Jingle Bells for my friends at Exalt Brass.

Jingle Bells - Feat. Exalt Brass

This arrangement is actually a whittled-down version of one I did for brass choir. It's my first time writing for woodwind instruments and I think I enjoyed it more than I should've. 

I try to make my arrangements as colorful as possible by introducing all sorts of elements that weren't in the piece originally. For example: Why put a short fugue-like section in Hide and Seek? Because why not?
