Works In Progress

  • With Joyful Abandon for concert band (grade 3.5, duration 5:15) – Available on JWP and SMP!
    I began composing “With Joyful Abandon” in early 2021 as a much-needed balm to everything happening in the world at the time. I wanted to write something unabashedly happy and fun. I hope this piece brings you joy.
