Composer

To see my published works, please visit the brilliant See-a-dot Music website. 

I've written, arranged, and edited a lot of music, mostly for voices.  Some of the titles are represented below.  Please feel free to download and perform any of them that you would like to.  I ask only that you let me know that you are performing them.  I often have score updates as well, so feel free to ask if there is a new version.
