Written for Richard's solo performance in the late 1980's

This composition is meditative and toning. Itis based on a Byzantine chant which draws the set of five scuptures to a logical conclusion; a transition from avante-guard to medieval, from chaotic to ordered. It is fully multi-phonic.

A musical work for an easy break in a recital

This set of horn solos started in my college days at California State University @ Hayward, explores some of the strange sounds one can produce on the horn, but they primarily explore the technique of singing and playing the horn simultaneously.

My Sculptures are a very important part of my compositional output as they are key pieces from several different periods in my compositional life.
