Reflection is a five-part harmony chorale for brass quintet which is based around the idea of inner contemplation and reflection. The music travels to the inside of the soul and examines feelings and emotions deep within. To further underscore the reflection, the music itself is a sort of reflection, a tonal palindrome where the beginning and end are reflections of eachother, binding feeling and form. Reflection

A duet I wrote for a friend of mine to play with me. The recording sounds like two cellos because I didn't like the midi saxophone sound, and this duet can funtion for a variety of instrumentations, like cello duet. :) Duet for Alto Saxophone and Tenor Trombone

Though I enjoyed the piece, and you obvioulsy did a great job theoretically composing it, as an advanced brass player, I do not see the practicality in the rapid rhythmic tonguing. If a wind ensemble were to perform this, the accuracy would be very poor, unless an ensemble like the North Texas wind ensemble were to play it. Most wind ensembles would have extreme difficulty playing the rapid tonguing in unison very accurately.

A light piece I wrote in middle school for a scholarship. Conveys the fun innocence of childhood. Rondo for 8 Woodwinds
