​Welcome! I am pleased to announce the release of my new CD and streaming project!  While I Run This Race: Music of Hope, Dedication and Celebration, presents music inspired by Black American culture.  Two major chamber works frame the recording:  Langston's Lot, a song cycle for tenor, alto saxophone and piano, based on the poetry of Langston Hughes, and While I Run this Race, for piano trio, based on the spiritual, Guide My Feet While I Run This Race. The recording is completed with two pieces for solo organ, also based on traditional spirituals. 

​

The recording is available through AMP Recordings and may also be obtained through major streaming services.

​​

JUST IN: While I Run This Race has just won a Bronze Medal in the latest competition sponsored by Global Music Awards. For more information, go to the News tab.

The 2025-26 theatre season at Heidelberg University has presented two of my latest incidental music scores. In November,

I designed music for a production of Shakespeare's Macbeth, set during the Prohibition Era.  Just completed was a new project for a production of Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass. 

 

Albums of musical excerpts from Macbeth and The Alice Plays appears in the Recording section.​​
