Published by MJIC Music Publishing (ASCAP) (A0.934216). Retracements (2021)This performance proposal features a performance of Retracements (2021) for percussion quartet commissioned by Kevin von Kampen, at the University of South Florida (USF) percussion ensemble. Retracements uses Fibonacci numbers and Phi proportions that mirror percentages used by stock market traders to predict corrections of trends in the market. Fib. numbers used in Retracements dictate the length of short sections in the work, while larger sections emerge organically and less predictably with regard to Phi (GS). In short, the work unfolds structurally through the impetus of determinate decisions combined with intuitive and indeterminate factors. In this light, the work is a musical realization of the retracement principle. I am indebted to Kevin von Kampen, assistant professor of Music at the University of South Florida, and members of the Percussion Ensemble at USF: Katie McCarty, Jacob Barber, David Grullon, and Wyatt Hatch for their careful preparation of the work (performance materials available from the publisher-MJICMusicPublishing@gmail.com).

String Quartet (2011)With tightly wound rhythms, dramatic figures, and an emotionally stirring performance, Mark Zanter’s String Quartet is nine attacca movements of beauty. American Record Guide  String quartet is an expansive single movement work, which during its course features members of the ensemble in various solo, duo, and trio combinations. The musical material-an interval series-is presented first in a fragmented, dissonant context that becomes increasingly consonant as the work progresses through sections that alternate intense rhythmic activity with calm, highly expressive solos.  The quartet was commissioned by the Ankara University Soloists String Quartet and was premiered at Marshall University Festival of New Music 2012 as part of their residency as Edwards Distinguished Visiting Professors of the Arts.

Star Pulse (2010)Over the past couple of years I’ve written a number of works for double second steel pans, all commissioned by Dr. Rick Kurasz who with several of his colleagues are seeking to expand the concert literature for that instrument. Originally Rick was scheduled to do this premiere at Marshall, but he had to cancel at the last moment. Interpreting this turn of events as an opportunity, I arranged the solo part to Star Pulse for electric guitar as part of an on-going, back-burner, pet-project. At present, the work is arranged for wind symphony and either, double second steel pans, or electric guitar solo.Grade level of the the work is 4+.

MJIC Music Publishing (ASCAP) #4621545. Published by MJIC Music Publishing (ASCAP) (A0.934210). In Fantasy on Blue I employ aspects of my recent electric guitar music and the blues idiom in a chamber work. In the work improvisational gestures are used to capture the energy and expression of the blues without resorting to rhythmic and formal clichés that are so much a part of third stream and crossover classical works. In Fantasy on Blue this was accomplished by providing composed solos, poly-rhythmic/metric complexity, and a dynamic range to engender exploration of blues expression. Over the past summer I composed new works using these principles, and to my surprise their emergence revealed, and brought full circle ideas that have been with me since early in my career.

Published by MJIC Music Publishing (ASCAP) (A0.934211). Perpetuum Mobile (2014) for tuba, fixed media and processing was composed for George Palton, professor of tuba at Marshall University. I have worked closely with George engineering his solo CD, Tuba In Motion, and that influenced our collaboration on this work. George’s playing exhibits a full range of technical and expressive skills and the composition takes advantage of those strengths. The fixed media portion of the work was planned from the beginning; but as the work matured, processing was mixed with the live tuba enabling it to inhabit the same sound world as the recorded media. Overall the work is in three sections ending with a reprise of the opening material. Surface rhythms, textural changes, and the constant cycling of pitches occurring throughout the work exhibit the characteristic of moto perpetuo. A listener can perceive these myriad possibilities or simply enjoy the work’s virtuosity, lyrical melodies, changes of rhythm, and ambient sounds. Perpetuum Mobile was premiered on the International Tuba and Euphonium Conference 2014. I have to thank George Palton for the many great performances of the work.
