| I have written for a wide variety of ensembles, ranging from solo instruments to full orchestra, including choral works and covering a range of styles. This variety of styles has led people to compare my music to such composers as Bach, Mozart, Ravel, Mahler, Poulenc, Ibert and Shostakovich.
Performances of my compositions have been given throughout Canada, the United States, China, and Europe. Most recently, my "Requiem" for full orchestra and choir was premiered in London, Ontario, while three of my choral works were included on a compact disc ("The World Awaits") this past fall.
Many of my instrumental works have been published and are available through Eighth Note Publications (www.enpmusic.com). For information on my vocal and choral works, I can be contacted directly. Commissions are accepted.
