I’m an amateur musician, self-taught, who enjoys playing and composing music on a Baroque recorder and Native American flute.

I composed the pieces below for solo recorder. They can also be played by flute, violin and other instruments.

I scored these compositions using digital instruments in MuseScore Studio software. You can find the sheet music for them at MuseScore.

Two Reflections

I composed An Elegy for Flute as a remembrance of a close friend who passed away. It’s also my first attempt at orchestration. Awaiting You came about when my wife’s flight home was delayed for three hours in Chicago and I grabbed an alto recorder to pass the time.

From Native Woods

These compositions were inspired by Native American flute music. I composed Red Cedar to test out a new Native American flute hand-crafted in Alabama by Blue Bear Flutes. Smokedrift was a melody I created at the piano about 50 years ago but recently recreated on flute and recorder.

The American Recorder Society

I am a member of the American Recorder Society. I’m honored that several of my compositions have been accepted for the Society’s Music Libraries.

As their website states, “The mission of the American Recorder Society is to promote the recorder and its music.” Please visit and discover all that the Society offers.
