"Quarks" exists in two versions, this one for viola, and also one for solo violin - composed for violinist Jeanne Benson, these six pieces are named after the fabled subatomic particles, and are by turn fun, playful, quirky, prickly, and acerbic.

Quarks for solo viola

I am an eclectic composer who writes with a postmodern mischievousness: my pieces can be comedic/ironic, simple/complex, or humble/reverent. My recent projects have taken a turn toward turn towards the sweeter side, exploring a consonant adiatonicism.
