Here is an arrangement I did many years ago.  My friend, Jamey Ray, and his Rollins students recorded this as a gift to me.   This is the first time the true essence of the arrangement has been realized.  This arrangement is legal and available from UNC Jazz Press and is for 8-part men.  

Eleanor Rigby (Demo1)

Sun Shower Fantasy is a piece I wrote in 2015 when my Father passed away, written for solo piano and C# crystal singing bowl. During this time there were many silver linings like a sun shower. Chris Belt arranged my work for Guitar, Violin, Cello, Double Bass, Clarinet and Flute and it was performed for the Re:Charge event in Orlando in the Summer of 2020, where every guest had their own 64 square feet of space to allow for a performance during the pandemic climate. The instruments were scattered through the room and the performance was absolutely beautiful!

Sun Shower Fantasy

I composed this piece as part of a suite, the original version of which was a site-specific work for 60 guitars premiered in January of 2018. I then arranged it into this open instrumentation form in March of 2018 for my quintet, Answers. 

The piece is called Passing because it honors the life of my friend's departed mother. This recording was made live on July 18th, 2020, at Harriett's Orlando Ballet Center in Orlando, Fl.

Many thanks to the improvising musicians who brought this very special version to life.

Joseph Jevanni Billups, piano 
Brandon Miller, upright bass
Sam Desmet, classical guitar
Yamilet Trujillo, cello
Katie Mess, flute
Natalie Grata, clarinet
Gerald Law II, electronics/percussion
Amy Xaychaleune, violin
