Megan and I improvised the hymn 'My Lord, What a Morning' during church services on November 30, 2014 for a short anthem.

My Lord, What A Morning (Horn/Piano)

Megan and I improvised this version of 'I Wonder as I Wander' for our Christmas Eve service in 2014. This is a live recording from the service. I really love this haunting melody.

I Wonder As I Wander (horn and piano)

Here, I pay homage to Andy Griffith soon after his passing. I took the classic tune from the Andy Griffith Show theme song and re-imagined it in a poignant hymn style, pairing it with a quote from Amazing Grace. This improvisation was played during a church service on July 8, 2012 (hence the background noise).

Ave Maria

This work for Oboe, Mezzo, and piano was commissioned by the Midwest Double-Reed Society. It is published by Imagine Music.

The work has been recorded on the Centaur label on the disc Personalities: 21st Century American Music for Oboe. This recording is from the premiere performance.
