This very accessible and moderately difficult original jazz-influenced, lush sounding ballad for studio orchestra featuring solo flugelhorn creates lasting memories for performers and audiences. New York State School Music News review: This slow ballad has an effective legato flow with remarkably colorful orchestration … a very original and playable creation. The audio file is an actual studio orchestra performance of the entire work and not a computer playback of the score.

Concerto for Piccolo Clarinet and Chamber Orchestra (2017) The music makes dramatic shifts between the E-flat clarinet’s high virtuous technical flights and its mystical, expressive qualities. The sound resources for entire work are entirely derived from the clarinet’s opening descending line that quickly develops into a succession of firey cadenzas.  The soloist then leads the ensemble in a highly spirited dance of counterpoint and rhythm.  Click here to order parts:   https://www.thecomposerstudio.com/concerto/#tab-15982  Rental support:  thecomposerstudio@gmail.com   Information on the composer:  www.williamneil.net .

What a privilege to share an arrangement of this perfect song, sung by Sarah McLachlan in Toy Story 2 in 1999.  If Toy Story and Toy Story 2 hadn't already entirely induced a nostalgic empathy from its audience for the life of old toys we used to play with, Jessie's heartfelt song of her memories with 'Emily' tugs the heart strings to make grown men cry. 

Randy Newman wrote a perfect little gem in this short but iconic moment in movie history.  In the most respectful way the write and the song do so little SO well.  The orchestration is sparse but completely appropriate and supportive.  

This arrangement follows the original soundtrack as closely as possible and would make a wonderful addition to a kids or education concert or an evening of film, musicals or just a celebration of great song writers. 

Thank you Randy Newman for your wonderful understated genius for using musical simplicity to unpack human complexity.
