Opus	Title	Duration	Date	Instrumentation	Listen
1	Octet "Wildflowers"	9' 33"		flute, A cl, Bb sop. sax, trombone, piano, marimba, viola & cello
I was in the middle of graduate school when I wrote this piece. At the time, I was enamored with Steve Reich's woodwind octet and with minimalism in general. My intention was to always keep the timbres changing (morphing and evolving)
2	Fantasy for Piano #1	3' 39"		solo piano
I wrote this piece in a single day. It took me weeks to correctly notate it with Finale and make the notation accessible. Initially, my intention was to rock out. So I tried to do just that with non-tonal harmonies, a fast pace and accelerated rhythms.
3	Trio for Flute, Viola & Harp (Dew Drop Dares To Play With The Light of the Sun)	11' 39"		Flute, Viola and Harp
This is a metaphor. Imagine a dew drop, with the utmost humility and kindness daring to play around with the sun the very thing or power that is going to destroy it.
4	"Ich Habe Bambus Geschnitten" All rights reserved by S. Fischer Verlag GmbH, 60596 Frankfurt/Main	4' 06"		Scored for flute, piano, viola, soprano solo & percussion (bowed cymbals- tubular bells- triangle & water gong). "Ich habe Bambus Geschnitten" published in DIE NIEMANDSROSE by the author Paul Celan, Copyright S. Fischer Verlag 1963.
This is my first attempt at art song per se. The setting of the text is stylistically adventurous for me and my tastes. I liked the results though.
5	Interlude for Solo Guitar	3' 39"		solo acoustic classical guitar
This piece along with my piece "And Yet There Could Be Love" represent my very first attempts at composition way back when.
6	In Expression	11' 40"		Javanese gamelan orchestra, 2 flutes, 3 part Women's choir (s.s.a.) Texts based on the book "The Impersonal Life"
I've always been interested in Gamelan music especially American Gamelan music. I felt that traditional Gamelan music could co-exist well with a Western style chorus. And, two flutes would just add to the pleasure of the timbrel mix. I wrote the texts.
7	Trio For violin, Bb Clarinet & Piano	20' 59"		Violin, Bb Clarinet & Piano
My three movement piano trio is my "Ode to Joy." The first movement is what came from me after being out of music for ten years. The second and third movements were written over a handful of years.
8	String Quartet #1	14' 17"		Violin 1&2, Viola & Cello
I wrote this piece for my Master's thesis back in graduate school. The first movement looks back to Ravel's string quartet.(Assez vif: Tr?s rhythm?) The second movement looks back to Brahms & again to Ravel. The third movement harkens back to Bartok.
9	The Sun and the Sunflower	5' 39"		Balinese gamelan orchestra
Imagine a sunflower tracking the sun across the sky. During the night the sunflower moves itself back and awaits the coming of the sun. On the outside this seems austere. But on the inside this love rocks. Just a metaphor.
10	The Secret Sky	6' 12"		Balinese gamelan orchestra and two flutes (Based on text by poet Charles Cameron) (from his poem "The Secret Sky")
Based on texts by Charles Cameron. I am a nightingale of the secret sky. I have watched many swans float by on the soft waves of the hidden river. I fly from one garden to the next. A rose is my mosque and my text is the grace of the marvelous giver.
11	And Yet There Could Be Love	1' 31"		24-member acappella choir (s.a.t.b.)
This piece was one of my first attempts at composition back in 1978. The texts are by an anonymous Vietnamese poet.
12	The Sun is the Ocean	5' 39"		harp, soprano solo and a 24-member chamber choir (s.a.t.b.) (Text by the composer, me)
I always loved to watch Harpo Marx play the harp. This piece was my first attempt at writing for the harp. It was also my first composition written under the guidance of Janice Giteck. I wrote the texts.
13	Mariposo Tulip-Of The Genus Calachortus Lutens	4' 54"		Balinese gamelan orchestra
The Mariposo Tulip is a wildflower which grows in the foothills of the Western United States. It was written for a class in gamelan music at the University of Oregon School of Music.
14	Piano Sonata #1	12' 39"		solo piano
My first piano sonata. I loved writing it. My intention was to write a technically challenging piece for solo piano.
15	String Quartet #2	21' 39"		Violin 1 & 2, Viola and Cello
I wrote this piece directly after returning home from a family reunion in Northern Idaho in 1997. The music just came gushing out of me.
16	Duet for Cello & Piano	7' 40"		Cello & Piano
This piece started out with the title: El alma en mi Coraz?n (The soul in my Heart) It was a much longer piece.
17	Trio for Flute, viola & Harp-An Autobiography of a Traveler Can You Hear The Voice of The Roses?	8' 33"		Flute, Viola & Harp
First sketched out during graduate school I finalized it a couple years after I graduated from school. The music reminded me of my own wanderings.
18	Woodwind Quintet #1	13' 39"		Flute, Bb Clarinet, Oboe, Horn in F, & Bassoon
I really like this piece. The third movement especially. My friend thought I should make the phrases overlap or dovetail like Debussy did sometimes.
19	Elizabeth	2' 40"		Solo Piano
This music personifies the inherently sweet side of my wife.
20	Closer	15' 39"		Javanese gamelan orchestra, two flutes and 24-member choir (s.a.t.b.) texts by Mark Vigil (the content of the text is how everyone is always becoming closer to the Creator)
This piece is suppose to be all about how everyone is always in a state of becoming closer and ever closer to God.
21	Three songs for Harp & Lyric Soprano	14' 39"		Harp & Lyric Soprano solo Soprano Range D—G# texts by the composer Mark Vigil
The 2nd piece I ever wrote, from my undergraduate days at Cornish Institute in Seattle. I was 23 or 24 years old. Very sweet. Very lyrical music. Tonal/modal. The vocal range dips down to a "d" and up to a "g#". In a sopranos low to mid-high range.
22	Magnificat			Flute, Bb Clarinet, Oboe, 32-member choir & soloists (s.a.t.b.) latin texts
A Magnificat in the style of J.S. Bach Lots of Baroque style counterpoint. Written while I was still in graduate school.
23	12-Tone Brass Sextet	6' 12"		(Music composed in a serialist mode) Bb Trumpets 1 & 2, Horns in F 1 & 2, Trombone and Tuba Four short movements, 1. The Beginning Stuff 2. Like a Bouncing Ball 3. Looking Perspicaciously for the Cottage Cheese 4. fugue (Oh Man!)
This piece was intended to be in a quasi serialist style. Maybe even a little surreal.
24	Progeniture			Flute solo, and 8 percussionists-instrumentation includes: cymbals, tambourines, Chinese bells, sleigh bells, snare drum, tom-tom quintet, temple blocks & woodblocks
An ambitious piece of mine. My thinking was to write a big piece with lots of percussion and solo flute.
25	Well of Living Waters			Javanese gamelan orchestra, 32-member choir (s.a.t.b.) and 24-member women's choir (s.s.a.), two flutes-texts by Mark Vigil
Never been performed. I remember it was essentially influenced by the album "Close To The Edge" by Yes. The piece is about the gift of life.
26	Fantasy for Piano #2	7' 16"		solo Piano
Lots of chromaticism and some lyricism. This was the first time I used augmented sonorities.
27	Nine Preludes for Piano Book #1	17' 59"		solo Piano
Writing this piece was fun. Very experimental piano music for me. My goal was to broaden my harmonic horizons. Which I did.
28	Piano Sonata #2	14' 13"		solo Piano
Oftentimes very chromatic. The middle movement was my homage to Maurice Ravel's Prelude from his "Le Tombeau de Couperin" I so love this piece.
29	Three Marian Antiphons Book #1	5' 57"		32-member acappella choir #1 (s.a.t.b.), 32-member acappella choir #2 (s.a.t.b.) Latin texts
This piece was written shortly after 9/11 I just found out that one of my favorite composers Tomas Luis de Victoria chose the same texts for his Marian antiphons.
30	Three Marian Antiphons Book #2	7' 22"		32-member acappella choir #1 (s.a.t.b.), 32-member acappella choir #2 (s.a.t.b.) Latin texts
This piece was written shortly after 9/11 I just found out that one of my favorite composers Tomas Luis de Victoria chose the same texts for his Marian antiphons.
31	Nine Preludes for Piano Book #2	17' 39"		solo Piano
Another attempt at writing short piano pieces. I think that my second book of preludes is much more mature music than the first book of piano preludes.
32	string Quartet #3	20' 39"		violin 1 & 2, viola & cello
This quartet has been a bit of a bugger. It is one of my more adventurous projects.
33	Missa Ordinarium (Mass Of The Ordinary)	38 minutes		2 Flutes, Bass Flute, 2 Oboes, Bb & A Clarinet, Bass Clarinet,(all clarinets performed by one soloist) Harp, 32-member choir #1 (s.a.t.b.), 32-member choir #2 (s,a,t,b,) Quartertone String Sextet (violin 1&2, Viola 1&2, and Cello 1 & 2)
A really big choral piece over an hour at least in length. Epic. It took me a year to compose.
34	Missa Brevis	7' 35"		String Quartet and 24-member choir (s.a.t.b.) Latin texts
I like to do things twice. This time the mass is very short with light small forces to accompany the chorus.
35	Dragonfly Idyll-Butterfly Idyll	5' 39"		Shakuhatchi, Koto, Harp & Piano based on poetry by Mark Vigil
I like to use world instruments sometimes combining them with traditional Western instruments. This piece is meant as just a little fancy.
36	Jubilate Deo	7' 35"		Flute, Oboe, Bb Clarinet, Bassoon, Percussion (triangle, tam-tam, crotales, tubular bells, handbells,) Piano, Harp, 24-member women's choir #1 (s.s.a.) 24-member women's choir #2 (s.a.a.) and Strings (88642) Latin texts
One of my favorite pieces I've ever done. Large forces. Never been performed. To expensive. Lots of beauty.
37	Scherzoso Capriccio-Life Itself	7' 22"		Percussion (timpani, xylophone, marimba #1, marimba #2, & bass marimba) String Quartet & 3 pizzicato string orchestras (10,10,8,6,2)
A one of a kind piece. There is nothing like it out there in the repertoire. A spectacle. A barn burner. A piece written entirely for the pleasure of the audience.
38	Passacaglia Ma Un Poco Fantasia-Basso Ostinato with Theme and 18 Variations for chamber ensemble	12' 37"		Piccolo, Flute, Bass flute, Oboe, Bb Clarinet, Bb Bass Clarinet, Bassoon, Horn in F #1&2, Percussion (tambourine, shakers, snare drum, vibraphone, glockenspiel) Cello solo, 2 Violas and 3 string basses
Again one of my favorite pieces that I have ever done. Written solely as an exercise in motivic development. It took me months and months to compose.
39	Sonatine	3		solo Piano
Again, written in homage to one of my favorite composers Maurice Ravel. I think "Jeau Deux" had most of my attention and memory.
40	"If The Falling Of A Hoof" Lyrics from (& or based upon) a poem in the Penguin publication "The Gift, Poems by Hafiz," copyright 1999 Daniel Ladinsky & used with his permission	3' 35"		Piccolo, Flute, Oboe, English Horn, Bb Clarinet, Bassoon, horn in F, Harp, Harpsichord, Percussion (large gong 30", medium gong 26", 18" suspended sizzle cymbal, triangle) mezzo soprano, Bass Baritone, Solo Violin, Solo Viola, Solo Cello #1 & #2
A complete departure for me considering the orchestration, but it works. I have always wanted to write for the harpsichord.
41	Five Preludes for Violin And Piano	14' 25"		Violin solo and Piano
Five very different little pieces. Harmonically eclectic. Stylistically both modern and lyrical.Not to technically demanding.
42	Haec Dies (This is the Day)	1' 36"		16 member chorus (s.a.t.b.) 4 member male chorus (Bs. Baritone & Bass) & mixed instrumental quintet (flute, English Horn,Bb Clarinet & 2 Violas) Latin text
I wrote this piece in a single day. I don't know what came over me. I use a metrical canon meaning the dux is in one meter and the comes is in another.
43	Three Preludes for Bb Clarinet & Piano	7' 17"		Bb Clarinet solo & Piano (adapted from op. 41 five preludes for violin & piano)
These three preludes are transcribed verbatim from my five preludes op. 41. I just saw these originals in the guise of the clarinet.
44	Gending "Maharaj Ji"	8' 10"		Javanese Gamelan Orchestra, Slendro, with Saron Imbal, Bonang Imbal, Bonang Gembiang
From my early days when I would write predominately for Javanese Gamelan orchestra. I felt inspired to write music about my master Maharaji or Prem Rawat.
45	Gending "Waters of the Heart"	10' 25"		Javanese Gamelan Orchestra, Ladrang Ageng, Slendro with added P7, Bonang Gembyang
From my early days when I would write predominately for Javanese Gamelan orchestra. I felt inspired to write music about my master Maharaji or Prem Rawat.
46	Gending "Field of Flowers"	12' 29"		Javanese Gamelan Orchestra, 20 member 3 part Women's chorus (s,a,a) percussion (bell tree) (text by Mark Vigil)
From my early days when I would write predominately for Javanese Gamelan orchestra. I felt inspired to write music about my master Maharaji or Prem Rawat.
47	Five Bagatelles for Mixed Quintet six Percussionists & Chorus	20' 12"		Bb clarinet, tenor trombone, piano, harp, string bass/electric bass- a myriad of percussion instruments (wood, metal, skin) 24-member s.a.b. mixed chorus text by Carol Vanhoff & Mark Vigil
A mammoth percussion piece. Each piece is a universe unto itself. I intended this piece as an exploration of mine into the very interesting world of percussion.
48	Please	4' 28"		woodwinds, harp, amplified sitar, lyric soprano solo, 24 member s.a.t.b. chorus, percussion,(triangle,tambourine) string trio & small string orchestra (44321) text by Carol Vanhoff
This is a very special and unique composition inspired by the beautiful text by a wonderful poet Carol Vanhoff. The music is sweet and colorful.
49	Wildflowers2 (revised 2024)	9' 29"		Transcribed for CONCERT BAND from my original Octet "Wildflowers" op. 1 Instrumentation: standard compliment of woodwinds, (Eng. Hrn. optional) saxophones, (sop. sax. optional) brass, percussion, piano, 2 cellos & 1 string bass
I actually made a concert band piece. Oh goody! What fun. It is transcribed from my Octet "Wildflowers" op.1. I always wanted to make a concert band version of this piece. It took me six months to make this piece.
50	String Quartet #4	21' 06"		violin 1, violin 2, viola & cello
With this piece I harken back to my stylistic roots of composition. Meaning very lyrical easy to digest not complicated. But, this time I come home more mature.
51	"En El Capricho De Una Perla" (On The Whim Of A Pearl)	7' 14"		Piccolo, Flute, Bb Clarinet, Bb Bass Clarinet, English Horn, Bb Soprano Saxophone 2 Horns in F, 2 Harps, Violin solo & String Orchestra (10,10,8,6,2)
This music is a transcription of my 2nd mvt. of my 4th string quartet. I re-envisioned the material for orchestral size strings with solo woodwinds, brass and harps. I think it sounds much more rich more full.
52	The Garden of My Life	10' 10"		electro-acoustic new age ambient
Honestly, I so love ambient new age music
53	In a Wild Garden	2' 06"		electro-acoustic new age ambient
I originally included this piece of music as the title track to my 2nd cd which was also called "In a Wild Garden" I later dropped this track from my cd because a "new age" piece with a cd of contemporary classical music is just not right.
54	Suite For Violin & Viola	27' 21"		violin & viola
I began this piece in January of 2013 and finished it in July of 2013. It consists of 7 brief movements. Prelude, Fugue, Siciliana, Berceuse, Csárdás (slow), Csárdás (fast), Madrigal
55	Petite Suite For Violin & Viola	15' 03"		violin & viola
An abbreviated version of the Suite for violin & viola. This version consists of five of the original seven dance movements. 1. Prelude 2. Fugue 3. Siciliana 4. Csárdás Lassu (slow) 5. Berceuse
56	"Rainmakers"	6' 42"		Quintet-(mixed ensemble) piccolo, xylophone, marimba, viola & cello
This piece is a transcription of the original Madrigal, the final movement, of my suite for violin & viola.
57	"Rainmakers" revised extended version	8' 15"		string orchestra (88641)
This piece is once again a transcription of the original Madrigal, the last movement, of my suite for violin & viola. Revised in 2017
58	Rainmakers3	6' 42"		violin & cello
This piece, originally the last movement for my suite for violin & viola, is once again presented to the public in yet a new guise. This time however the viola part is now the for cello. More practical I think.
59	Piano Sonata #3	16' 02"		solo piano
It's been twelve years since my second piano sonata. I really like writing piano sonatas. It's invigorating. The harmonic language is a bit modernist. It took me six months to complete this work. A work in three movements.
60	Piano Sonata #4	16' 21"		solo piano
Again, I am revisiting the sonata allegro form. It's always been a good thing for me. This piano sonata took me nine months to complete. I don't particularly like spending so much time on a piece but a have to get it right. Modernist harmonic language.
61	Eventually	12' 24"		oboe, Bb clarinet, 6 violins, 4 violas, 4 cellos,3 double bass and Harp
Influenced by John Luther Adam's "Become Ocean" I wanted to write a drone piece and keep the instrumentation affordable. In two parts the first rather somber and the 2nd part more happy.
62	Five Miniatures for flute quartet	11' 06"		3 flutes (flute 1 Dbls. piccolo) bass flute
I have always been a big fan of Mozart's flute quartets. A lovely combination. I couldn't resist the chance to write a piece for flute quartet.This piece has allot of fifth species counterpoint. Five short miniatures.
63	Something in the Wind	5' 09"		flute solo
I have always admired Debussy's "Syrinx" for solo flute. I loved the seamless pitch inflection and, the easy dreaminess.
64	Definitely Indefinite (for 3 percussionists)	4' 56"		two snares drums, Tambourines and Bass Marimba
Just a little percussion ditty. The title refers to instruments of indefinite pitch and instruments of definite pitch.
65	Petite Dreams	6' 09"		Bb clarinet solo
The clarinet has such a sweet timbre.Here, as the title suggests I'm just trying to be a little fanciful. Melodies for sure. Characterized by the long and the expeditious in both the clarion and chalumeau registers.
66	string quartet #5	21' 51"		2 violins viola and cello
It's been five years since i last worked on a string quartet and I must t say that it feels very good to be back home again writing another string quartet. I heard a great string quartet by Fanny Mendelssohn and it definitely influenced me.
67	Five Miniatures for Clarinet Quartet	11' 25"		four Bb clarinets
I transcribed my Five Miniatures for flute quartet to a quartet of clarinets.
68	Arabesque For Solo Violin	5' 22"		solo violin
I know that writing for the violin can be versatile and packed with virtuosity. I'm just trying to keep things simple which is the most challenging.
69	Parenthesis or Paradigm	4' 16"		solo Bassoon
Another miniature this time for bassoon
70	Joyful Tale- Peaceful Journey Instrumental Air for Chamber Orchestra	8' 28"		2 Flutes, 2 Bb clarinets, Harp & Strings (88642) Dbl. Bass with C extension (solo violin 1 & 2, solo viola, & solo cello
I transcribed the third mvt. of my 5th string quartet to make this piece.
71	string quartet #6	24' 04"		violin 1 & 2 viola and cello
For years now I've wanted to write a 5th and 6th string quartets Done deal. Now it's time to move on.
72	Little Fantasy for Oboe (The Attentive Firmament)	6' 10"		solo oboe
I love the lyrical potential of the oboe. Music for the oboe can be very sweet.
73	Three Short Pieces for Harp	6' 37"		Solo Harp
I've always been fascinated by the harp. I'm a big Harpo Marx fan.
74	A Cumbersome Pastorale	8' 05"		solo Cello
A piece for cello utilizing allot of multiple stops.
75	Woodwind Septet (After Nectar)	9' 10"		flute 1 (doubles piccolo), flute 2, oboe, Bb clarinet, Bb bass clarinet, bassoon, horn in F
A friend listened to the music. it reminded him of monarch butterflies flitting about chasing after nectar. I love writing for clarinet and bass clarinet. The clarion and chalumeau registers are so beautiful.
76	Poems and Pointillistle	5' 19"		solo Double Bass
The double bass is an interesting instrument. Large mass. long thick strings. A short bow. I always loved it in rock-n-roll and Jazz. But this piece is purely contemporary classical in nature.
77	string quartet #7	17' 16"		violin 1, violin 2, viola and cello
I started this string quartet in July of 2016 and finished it on October 1st 2016. It's my only four movement string quartet. My quartets are usually three movements.
78	woodwind sextet	7' 02"		piccolo, flute, oboe, clarinet in Bb, Bassoon and Horn in Fl
I love to work with woodwinds. The various colors and timbres that can be created through different combinations is remarkable. I love woodwind music at fast lively tempos.
79	Duo for Harp and Violin	5' 58"		Harp and Violin
Harp and violin is such a good combination. I couldn't resist the chance to write something for this combination.
80	woodwind octet	9' 04"	2016	piccolo, flute, oboe, Bb clarinet, Bb Bass clarinet, bassoon, Contra bassoon and horn in F
81	Trio for Violin and Two Harps	7' 42"		Violin and two Harps
I don't know if I've ever seen this combination of instruments. In any case, two harps are better than one. As always, here I try to write the most beautiful music that I can.
82	Passacaglia Ma Un Poco Fantasia-Basso Ostinato with Theme and 25 Variations for Chamber Orchestra	12' 18"		Piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 bass flutes, 2 oboes ,2 Bb clarinets, 2 Bb bass clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horn in F, tenor trombone, percussion (tambourine, shakers, snare drum, vibraphone, glockenspiel), harp, 3 violins, 6 violas, 3 cellos and 3 solo string bass
This piece is a re-tooling of my Passacaglia I wrote back in 2006-2007. I just re-orchestrated it for chamber orchestra. It is a set of 25 variations over a re-occuring harmonic and melodic theme, a basso ostinato.
83	Song Cycle (The Nature of Things) with texts by Carol Vanhoff	39' 33"		piano and soprano solo
This song cycle consists of 16 art song. 16 poems by Carol Vanhoff. Strictly"Old School" traditionalist music I think. I've always wanted to write a song cycle. Just never got around to it.
84	Fantasia E Capriccio for Nine Winds	11' 02"		piccolo, flute, bass flute, oboe, clarinet in Bb,Bb bass clarinet, bassoon, contrabassoon and horn in F
This piece is meant to be improvisatory. It begins with a theme and its subsequent development is solely dependent upon the whim of the composer.
85	Fantasia e Capriccio for Ten Winds and Percussion	12' 02"		piccolo, flute 1, flute 2, oboe, Bb clarinet, Bb Bass clarinet, bassoon, contra bassoon, horn in F, trombone and marimba
This piece is one of a handful of mixed wind ensemble pieces I've written recently. However, this time I've added a marimba. I thought the mixed wind timbres would blend well with a marimba. Woodwinds and marimba timbres works so well together.
86	Fantasia e Capriccio for 21 Winds & Percussion	15' 12"		2 piccolo, 3 flutes, bass flute, 2 oboes, English horn, 3 Bb clarinets, 2 bass clarinets, soprano sax, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 2 horns in F, tenor trombone, xylophone, marimba
This piece is yet another collection of original tunes, set like a medley of tunes, written solely for a large ensemble of woodwinds and winds.
87	"Rest Awhile" for Percussion	4' 28"		snare drum 1, snare drum 2, quad toms, large gong and bass drum
I've always wanted to write a percussion piece which included two dueling snare drums. I once heard a piece performed at Cornish which was scored for 2 snare drums only and it was amazing. It left quite a lasting impression on me.
88	string quartet #8	16' 11"		violin 1 & 2, viola and cello
I am enjoying writing music using exotic pitch collections.
89	There Are Flowers In The Window	2' 12"	2018	flute solo
90	12 Miniatures for Woodwind Trio	13' 09"		flute, Bb clarinet and bassoon
A collection of 12 misfit musical narratives based on an appreciation for family minutia and some common household practicalities"
91	Canzoni Della Notti	7' 57"		32 member s.a.t.b. a cappella choir
Two "Songs of the Night" Song no. 1 "Stilled" and song no. 2 "Nightshades" Texts by Carol Vanhoff
92	Five Enigmatic Miniatures for Flute and Cello	6' 40"		flute and cello
This is just a spur of the moment piece. Flute and Cello seems to be a popular combination. The flutist will need to own a flute that can play a low b natural.
93	Beneath an Emerald Sun (Introduction and Air For Two Harps and Chamber Orchestra	10' 02"		piccolo, 2 flutes, oboe, 2 Bb clarinets, horn in F, crotales, harp 1, harp 2 and strings (8 8 6 4 2)
I can't help but to strive to write harp music like Debussy and Ravel because it keeps me clean and humble, I hope. I grew up loving Debussy's "Sacred and Profane Danses" for harp and string orchestra and Ravel's "Introduction and Allegro."
94	The Light of Day (for winds, mallots, percussion and strings)	10' 27"		2 Bb clarinets, steel drum, xylophone, vibraphone, 3 marimbas, tam-tam, solo violin, 2 violins, w violas, 2 cellos and double bass
This piece is more or less in a minimalist style. Things are always changing though. It is a very developmental piece.
95	Fantasia & Capriccio for 12 Winds	13' 42"		piccolo, 2 flutes, oboe, English horn, 2 Bb clarinets, Bb bass clarinet, bassoon and 3 French horns
Just adding another piece to my woodwind collection
96	string quartet #9	20' 55"		violin 1, violin 2, viola and cello
I love to write new string quartets and I'm very happy with this one.
97	Fantasia e Capriccio for 11 winds and 3 strings	14' 18"		piccolo, flute, oboe, English horn, clarinet in Bb 1 & 2, Bb Bass clarinet, bassoon, contra bassoon, horn in f 1 & 2, solo violin, solo viola and solo double bass
I feel better now that I've filled in the gap for a woodwind piece calling for 11 winds
98	Skies of Pearl - Meadows of Rain	11' 20"		flute, Bb clarinet, bassoon, horn in F, xylophone, marimba, tubular bells, harp and solo violin
I like the titles of my pieces to somehow poetically be representational of the "feeling" content in my music. This music seems to me to be always reaching upwards.
99	Woodwind Quintet #2	13' 14"		flute, oboe, clarinet in Bb, bassoon and horn in F
Finally, I wrote another woodwind quintet. Yeah! I adore the octatonic scale. (1st and 3rd mats.) You know Ravel said the otatonic scale saved his butt.Middle mvt. consists of the Greek modes.
100	String Quartet #10	26' 06"		violin 1, violin 2, viola and cello
Well, another addition to my obsession for writing string quartets
101	Scherzo Capriccio for string orchestra	3' 50"		pizz string orchestra (10, 10, 8, 6, 2)
This piece was adapted and transcribed from the scherzo movement from my 10th string quartet
102	Fantasia e Capriccio for 13 Winds	14' 52"		piccolo, fluite, alto flute, oboe, English Horn, Bb clarinet 1, Bb clarinet 2, Bb Bass clarinet, bassoon, contra bassoon, Horn in F 1, Horn in f 2, trombone
I like to write these kind of pieces once a year. And, it's time!
103	10 Miniatures for Brass	16' 03"		3 horns in F, 2 trumpets, 2 trombones, euphonium and tuba in C
This is my first brass piece since graduate school. The simplicity and the brevity of these 10 miniatures were influenced by the Japanese art tradition of Bonzai. The miniaturized trees.
