Caprice� for woodwind quintet was completed in February 2024, and as the title implies encapsulates the spirit of persistent transformation in both mood and tempo. The composition highlights the blending of several short thematic motives through the use of eighth note/quarter note rhythms as well as through dotted rhythms in various guises. These same patterns also appear in the slower sections where there is far less volatility. The softer moments of the work drastically reshape the piece for much needed repose.

The traditional woodwind quintet (flute, oboe, clarinet, French horn and bassoon) presents the composer with a
fascinating opportunity to blend sonorities and timbres. This woodwind quintet, Whirlwind, was written in 2014. In
many ways, I have taken the Classical form as my model. It is a three movement work in the standard fast-slow-fast
structure. I aspire to a venerable tradition, including a rondo like finale that, I would hope, honors Haydn. The first movement is
based on a single lyrical theme that is stated throughout by each member of the ensemble in whole or in part. The second
movement is a slow ternary form and features long expressive melodic lines. The title has no programmatic implication,
rather, it expresses my essential interest in momentum and expressive concision in my musical style.
