The High Priestess is a chamber work for mixed instrumentation, including an F Horn with piano, violin, and flute. This piece is inspired by the artwork of the traditional Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck, specifically the less credited illustrator of the world famous deck, Pamela Colman Smith. The music represents the symbolism and feeling behind the High Priestess card, with keywords of strength, adaptability, seriousness, intuition, loving understanding, knowledge, introspection, and self-trust. Each instrument is featured throughout, as the main melody and distinct rhythms are traded and dovetailed around the ensemble. The piece begins with a feeling of watery calm (e.g. Venetian Boat songs), ascends to a hopeful journey, moves through tense trials, then returning back to the distant flute melody, followed by a piano “solo� that ultimately inspired this chamber work in the first place. 

This work is great for high school, collegiate, amateur, or professional ensembles, as well as very advanced young chamber players looking for something new and fresh. Rhythms are simple, while expression and musicality can be explored. In performance, be mindful of balance issues, so seating arrangement can be adjusted. I recommend the horn player be seated on the outside, so as not to cover up the flute. Average performance time: ca. 4:30

Other instrumentations are in progress, so please check back for updated editions. The original instrumentation involved the oboe and cello. There is also another version with trombone substituting the F horn.

This piece is a slower more lyrical piece, that really shows off the potential of any trumpet section to play musically, lyrically and beautifully.

It is based off a poem she wrote in high school titled, My Name is Amy It really showed the strength she had even when things looked bleak. 3 trumpet parts (at least 3 first trumpets).

Beginning with a bold unison fanfare, Fanfare a 5 (for 3!) is a rousing brass trio in which the trombone (or euphonium) plays a strong melodic role. This is a reworking of the composer's work for Brass Quintet (Fanfare a 5). Although playable by average third year players, this trio is musically strong enough to be performed by high school players and the quintet version has even been performed by professional quintets. Written for standard Brass Trio, Bb trumpet, horn in F, and trombone (or Euphonium), a Baritone T.C. part is also provided as an alternative to the trombone part.

This famous song from Rodgers and Hammerstein's 1959 musical The Sound of Music is both well-known and inspirational, like You'll Never Walk Alone from Carousel. Oscar Hammerstein II felt that the imagery of climbing mountains and fording streams suited Maria's character, as she seeks to find her own spiritual pathway and ultimately an escape to freedom with the von Trapp family. The singing needs to be strong and uplifting too - notice how the opening melody returns in the final section transposed to a higher key. This 3-part arrangement would suit church, school and amateur choirs and the piano accompaniment supports the voices throughout. There are two layout versions - one with the piano and one with just the vocal parts.
