Current Projects for 2012

2012 is shaping up to be a very busy year for me. I am currently working on two vocal pieces that I hope to finish by March 15. The first work is a set of songs for soprano and string quartet entitled Love Songs while the other piece is a single song for Bass-Baritone, piano, and B-flat clarinet entitled Echo. I also plan to finally finish a work for solo vibraphone that I started in 2010 entitled Art Music. I have several long term projects in mind for the remainder of the year such as a six minute work for wind ensemble, a ten to fifteen minute work for orchestra, as well as writing a book of advanced drumset etudes.
