WELCOME

​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. For more information, please see the News tab! 

​

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. 

​

For more information, please see the NEWS section of this website. An album of musical excerpts from Macbeth already appears in the RECORDING section. Music from the Alice plays will be added soon!
