Thanks for stopping by, and welcome to my blog. I hope you had a great week. In this week’s blog post, I will be discussing my inspiration for writing a woodwind quintet arrangement of Davide Delle Cese’s classic symphonic march L’Inglesina (The Little English Girl).” I will also discuss my upcoming publication, Three European Marches. Read my latest blog post now to find out more.

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 on my arrangement of Alexander Borodin’s masterwork in orchestration, the “Polovtsian Dances Overture,” transcribed here for a woodwind quintet with optional percussion.
