Country Sketches

I am pleased to announce that Country Sketches is now available from Bandworks Publications. This two movement work encapsulates growing up on a farm in Western Pennsylvania. I am very thankful and indebted to the wonderful group of friends and colleagues who did the recording back in March. The full recording of the piece can be found by clicking here. Another thank you to Patrick Burns who has been a great friend, mentor, and encourager of heart and music. I hope you enjoy this personal journey, and it might be a journey on which you can take your ensemble in the future.

For those interested, here is a panoramic view that influenced “Sunrise on the Hill” (Movement I). Click on the picture and it will open in a new window.
