“Mighty River” begins with powerful chords that announce the grandeur of the massive waterway, and flows into the middle section with swirling undercurrents and unexpected harmonic twists. Impressive sounding piece, but the repeating patterns and pianistic gestures make it much easier to play than it sounds. Commissioned by the Hattiesburg Music Teachers League of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, in honor of their 2015 composer festival.

Dramatic showstopper for intermediate level!
The opening chords are mighty and the flowing river sounds give advancing intermediate level students a satisfying challenge.

Channeling the Late Romantic-Era Greats
This piece is on the NFMC Moderately Difficult 2 option list for 2017-2020. It has also been favorably reviewed in Clavier Magazine. The accolades are well-deserved. This is a delightful introduction to bravura performance, an accessible evocation of aspects of Rachmaninoff and Debussy repertoire without most of their knuckle-busting technical demands---but definitely demanding of sensitivity in dynamics, voicing, phrasing, and rhythm, in order to produce an effective musical statement. Studying the structure of this piece is rewarding as well. It's the sort of piece that people look up from their reading to listen to. Enjoy learning and performing this piece!
