Ledges Trail: the woman in the stone
"Ledges Trail: the woman in the stone" brings us to the edge of choosing. We can see the darkness, but not inside the darkness; we can conjure the roughness, the closeness, the coldness of the walls which will press into our skin if we enter. We spend some time contemplating: this is not a room I'm usually brave enough to enter.
The piece is written for a standard, open-hole flute with gizmo key. It uses many of the standard extended techniques, including multiphonics, flutter tongue, and air sounds.

A Song for dusk unfolding, for solo flute, $14.99
"A Song for Dusk Unfolding" is a tonal work which uses multiphonics to project harmony, as well as a sense of fragility. This fragility serves to underline the mood of the piece, which invites the changing of light to darkness with some trepidation--but also enjoys the warmth of last light.

Healing Story, for solo flute
$14.99
"Healing Story" was requested as healing music in commemoration of the anniversary of the global pandemic of 2020-2021. The piece was composed during late winter hiking, when the year’s many layers of snowfall were just beginning to melt. Streams of melting ice and snow were beginning to form—underneath the snow! The water could be heard burbling down the mountain, deep beneath the surface of the snow. The ice caverns that formed these conduits also acted as resonance chambers for the journeying groundwater, and much of Healing Story aims to capture the strange and beautiful resonance that such a cavern provides for a burbling stream. When a stream’s passageway inevitably melts to the ground, the stream escapes into open air and continues its descent above a saturated stream bed. In these places, an unbelievably iridescent green algae comes to line the path of the stream and escort it down the mountain.

I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is hard and steep
But beauteous fields arise before me
Where God's redeemed, their vigils keep

The Sunken Forest, for flute and piano
$24.99
The Sunken Forest is a duo for flute and piano that was composed at the Fire Island National Seashore, a small, nationally- protected segment of the thirty-two-mile-long barrier beach island called Fire Island, NY.
"The most constant thing about life on Fire Island is change. Natural forces continuously reshape the 32-mile long barrier island. Only the most stable structures, natural or man-made, can withstand this dynamic environment. The Sunken Forest supports several ecosystems—each with its own distinct climate, soil and vegetation. Sometimes the ecosystems closely interrelate, such as the freshwater bogs which dot the maritime forest. In other cases, the boundaries between ecosystems are more sharply defined, as between the swale and the forest."
