         This is a chronological list of my compositions in a classical vein; therefore it does not include music that I have written for electric guitar, either solo, or with bass, drums and voice.







(1995) Theme and Variations for guitar
Written for myself, there is a canonic section which is particularly demanding on the left hand.






(1997) Wind Trio in G Major for flute, oboe and clarinet
My first multi-movement composition, it has three movements.

(1998) Fugue in B minor for string trio






(1998) Bagatelle for solo violin
This is an atonal piece, my first to utilize twelve-tone serial techniques.






(1998) Concert Overture in D Major for orchestra
Written for strings, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 2 trombones, tuba, timpani, snare drum and cymbals.






(2000) 20 Dances for String Quartet “Kalkhorst”
This set of dances is in an overtly traditional classical style.  I wrote them specifically for a friend's wedding.  They are comprised of: 5 Ländler, 5 Contredanses, 5 Minuets and 5 Waltzes.

(2003) March of the Twelve Tones for string orchestra
I wrote this piece for a high school string orchestra.  The aim I had was to expose high school students to the sound world of atonal music.  I kept the individual parts as simple as possible so that the students could focus completely on pitch.






(2003) Duo Concertante for flute and clarinet
This is an atonal piece.  I used “concertante” in the title to indicate the equal nature of the parts.  So much so that, in fact, after an 11 measure middle section, the last 31 measures are the same as the first 31 measures, but the flute is playing the clarinet part an octave higher and the clarinet is playing the flute part an octave lower.

(2004) Scherzo in F Major for Marimba








CURRENTLY: I am writing a wind trio for flute, clarinet and bassoon.  It is an atonal piece, and will have five movements, the first four of which have been completed.
