I’m a beginning musician currently learning to play the recorder and to compose short musical pieces.
While I improvise on the recorder, I compose music in apps like Logic Pro and MuseScore. All compositions below are voiced with digital instruments.
Sheet music at SheetMusicPlus and audio tracks at Bandcamp.

Compositions
Last Saturday is an original composition, shaped by the feeling of a warm Saturday with bright blue skies, light winds, and a scent of pine in the air.
An Elegy is a meditation on loss and remembrance. While acknowledging sorrow, the music affirms the enduring warmth of love and the vibrancy of memory. Composed in memory of the late Dr. William Henry Cooper, Jr.
I composed Awaiting You as I waited on my wife’s delayed flight home. The music unfolds in gentle dialog. The flute’s plaintive melody weaves above the cello’s line, echoing uncertainty and hope in waiting for a loved one.
The American Recorder Society
I am a member of the American Recorder Society and honored that several of my compositions have been accepted for the Society’s online 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.
