Tuba Sonata I

I've uploaded the first movement of my tuba sonata as a free download, which includes a 1-year performance license.  Here's the link:

Be sure to check it out soon.  When I finish the other movements it will no longer be available free!

Audio

I now have audio files uploaded for all of the sax quartet transcriptions on my website.  These are all still available as free downloads, and now you can listen to them as well!  Check them out here:

Also, in case you don't know, I have a recording of my Sonata for Saxophone Quartet on YouTube.  This is from an old edition so there are a few differences from the current edition, but it's basically the same.  Here's a link to the whole thing:

And last but not least, I am done with the first movement of my tuba sonata.  It just needs a little more formatting before I upload it.  Look for it in the next couple of days!  Here's an audio sample of the tuba sonata:

Deadlines, Schmeadlines

Well, my music is taking a little longer to write than I expected.  I have been making progress, so that's good.  I am, however, notoriously bad about keeping deadlines, whether I set them myself or they're set for me.  So I do like to set deadlines because it gives me a goal to work toward, but...it doesn't always work out as planned.

Like I said, I have been making progress, especially on my tuba sonata.  I am nearly done with the first movement; I just have some minor editing and formatting to do.  Once the first movement is done I will upload it as a free download while I write the rest of the piece.  (And yes, I have started the other movements.)

Other things I have been working on include an arrangement of "Loch Lomond" for a cappella male voices, a piece for solo clarinet, and a transcription of Gabrieli's "Canzon septimi toni a 8" for saxophone quartet and brass quintet which is finished but needs formatting.  I will also soon upload some computer generated audio of the pieces I have on my site, as placeholders until I get real recordings of them.
