New Profile Page on Vic Firth Website

Vic Firth has launched their new website and it is fantastic.  The link above is my artist profile, which looks really nice.

I’m particularly impressed with their new Marimba Literature Library.  They are hosting top notch video performances of some of my favorite undergraduate solo literature.

I had an enjoyable time playing timpani and percussion last night on the Celtic Woman show at Caesar’s Windsor.

 

Check out the Portland Percussion Group’s excellent video of my composition, Austerity Measures.

Thanks to Aaron, Brett, Brian, and Chris for their great performance.

Austerity Measures was one of three scores selected for the PPG’s 2015 Call for Scores, “Nothing With Wheels.”

This piece for percussion quartet is scored for a small number of instruments for economy and portability, but utilizes a number of temporal concepts in contemporary music as well as show cases some of the orchestral accessory percussion instruments.

Learn more about the piece here, where you’ll find program notes and how to obtain the score.
