I composed this work a year after hearing of the death of Iannis Xenakis. The music of Xenakis has meant a lot to me and I wanted to pay homage to the late composer.  

The work is dedicated to my former saxophone professor Lawrence Gwozdz.  

The performers are:
Soprano sax: Marc Ballard (of Duo Fujin)
Alto: Brian Kauth
Tenor: Chris Parkin
Baritone: Noah Madison

Canon In Memoriam Iannis Xenakis for Saxophone Quartet (2002)

I am a composer of new music or contemporary classical music whatever name you like or whichever carries the least amount of baggage in your mind. I don't care which term you use but please take a moment to listen to my works.

I currently reside in Gateswood, Alabama with my wife , Cheryl, and our son, Asa. 

I love chamber music. I write lots of it. In fact that is the only music I have written so far. Mainly it's because I've known so many great performers and I've had the opportunity to compose for them.

If you want any scores or have any questions just let me know. 
Hopefully soon I will have more recent works on the site.
