Thanks for stopping by, and welcome to my blog! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. This week, I will be discussing my arrangement of five movements for woodwind quartet from George F. Handel’s Water Music Suites.

Thanks for stopping by, and welcome to my blog!

I am taking off a few weeks for the Thanksgiving holidays to be with my family. Plus, my mother is recovering from pneumonia, and I need to be at home right now to help care for her. I’ll be back on December 5th with more anecdotes, memories, and passions for music. See you in the next blog, and Happy Thanksgiving!

This edition of my blog post is all about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. I will focus on the “Rondo” from his Serenade No. 10 KV 361 “Gran Partita.” In this blog, I will share stories about how this arrangement came to life, where it was first performed, and the honors it has received.

In honor of Veterans’ Day this year, I would like to write a blog post sharing my thoughts about my favorite march, John Philip Sousa’s "The Black Horse Troop." I would also like to take a moment to thank all veterans for their selfless service to this great country. We would not be where we are today without the sacrifices made by our uniformed service members.

Here are some thoughts about my new five-movement suite for clarinet choir from Georges Bizet’s dynamic and fiery opera Carmen. Today, we start with the “Aragonaise, “or “Entr’Acte” from Act IV.

Here are some thoughts on my newest arrangement for Craig Music Publishers: a clarinet quartet medley that transforms the traditional French carol “Patapan” into an imaginative “Patapan Fantasy,” incorporating five additional Christmas favorites.
