"Una Limosna por el Amor de Dios" is a beautiful, haunting, and uplifting keyboard sextet arrangement of the final work by the Paraguayan virtuoso classical guitarist Agustín Barrios. The title translates to “An Alm for the Love of God” and tells the story of a beggar knocking at the door to his studio asking for some food or money.

"Stress...Relief" was originally written for the Lone Star Wind Orchestra Percussion Ensemble as part of "The Headache Miniatures" – a set of five musical vignettes, each created by a different composer independently from one another. Scott Ward’s high-energy work grabs your attention from the opening measures and doesn’t let go.

This two-movement work—a prelude for keyboard percussion and metal sounds and a double fugue with one subject for drums and the other for keyboard percussion—was scored using the same instrumentation, ensemble size, and equipment set-up as the three-movement "Toccata" for percussion instruments by Carlos Chávez.

"Daily Grind" is a flexible and accessible sextet that gives the performers an opportunity to play hand drums with an added melodic element on desk bells. Each player also get to improvise solos. This piece is groovy, fun, and satisfying for performers and audiences!

"Number Theory, Vol. 2" is a collection of works that link musical characteristics to other disciplines using numbers 1-5 as the common thread. These works vary not only in difficulty (intending from intermediate to medium-advanced high school percussionists) but also a range of extra-musical topics that can be explored away from the practice room.
