Figment No. 2 "Juggler's Fancy" for violin alone was written as a birthday gift for my good friend, violinist and pedagogue Samantha Neal.  The first performance was given in the spring of 2005 at the inaugural Integrales New Music Festival on the campus of the University of Southern Mississippi.  

The subtitle of "Juggler's Fancy" has a double meaning in this work. The first is a reference to one of Sam Neal's hobbies: juggling.  The second is the way the violin seems to move around or juggle the thematic material in quite a fanciful manner.

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.
