Here you will be able to sample and download any of my arrangements and original compositions. I've been wanting to get this portion of my site up and running for quite a while. I will have more documents to offer as I go back through them and do some final editing. All documents will be in PDF format.

Theory Lessons that I wrote specifically to accompany private instrumental studies. Suitable for any high-school-age student who studies privately. Read more here.
- Mvt. I of Mozart's Symphony #40 in G minor
My arrangement of the first movement of Mozart's 40th symphony, a very familiar melody. This arrangement is a fun challenge for any college or professional brass Quintet. As with all of my arrangements, I try to be as true the original as possible.
-
The Swan, from Saint-Saens' Carnival of the
Animals - for solo trombone or French horn
-
Mvt. II of Brahms' Symphony #4 in E minor
*not easy*
-
Rochut #1 for solo trombone.
The first etude from Melodious Etudes, book one by Joannes Rochut, arrangement for Brass Quintet; melody is in the trombone
- Xmas Medley
-
Chicken Dance
My arrangement of the Chicken Dance for Brass Quintet. Good for any young brass quintet!
- Symphony for Wind Octet, op. #1
My first completely original composition for an ensemble, designed to be a sort of conducting etude. It's an excellent piece for any young conductor to take on, as it has many challenges of conducting technique, while being easy to organize with only eight parts.

Scored for flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, trumpet, French horn, trombone, bass trombone.
- Post-Washington March (right, that's Post-Washington, not Washington Post)
If you know "Washington Post March" by Sousa, you might find this one interesting; I always wondered about the opening melody, with it's up and down chromatic motion. What if Sousa had been in a different mood the day he wrote it and instead of starting out by going up a half step, went down? What music would result? this is my answer.
- for brass quintet
- for full band
-
Dance of the Hours, for Trombone and Piano
My arrangement of Amilcare Ponchielli's Dance of the Hours for trombone and piano. Fun, Challenging; a good performance piece.
- Czardas, with piano or band accompaniment
