| Autumn Stroll | $28 | Difficulty ttt | DEMO |
Originally
recorded on the album "Breather,"
this is a short (3:30) pretty, flowing, semi-minimalist piece written
around a piano ostinato. Key of Ab (Db Lydian), but also
dwells in
other chord centers.
Full score Tenor (lead) pan (1 player) Double seconds (1 player) Piano Flute Vibraphone Glockenspiel |

| Me Bop (Won't Stop) | $40 | Difficulty ttttt+ | DEMO |
This
is an advanced, tour de force recital piece for three pan
players, optional flute,
and light percussion (shaker, triangle, splash cymbal). Based on a
short, standard jazz chord progression, the piece reaches farther and
farther "out" harmonically and melodically as it progresses, creating
unique sonorities and chord voicings along the way, all the while
keeping the listener's ear well grounded in the original structure. The
package also contains combined double-seconds/cello part which could be
used as one-player accompaniment (such as with a set of quads, or even
on a keyboard instrument). Key of Gb.
The above demo is a MIDI-generated MP3 of the Finale file. An excerpt of the original recording (in F) can be found here, on the recording "My Two Cents" (Gary Gibson, 2000) Full score Solo Tenor (lead) Double seconds (single player) Guitar/cello (single player) Flute (optional) Percussion "As a small ensemble piece, the work would be great on any recital, adding a colorful texture to the program." - Jeannine Remy, Percussive Notes Magazine |

| Twenty Again | $28 | Difficulty tttt | DEMO |
Also
from the album "Breather,"
this piece is written in 5/4 meter, and has a pretty, optimistic sound
to it. Contrapuntal writing and a floating, breezy middle section keep
this piece interesting all the way through. Roughly four minutes in
length. A great program pairing with "Autumn Stroll."
