Works are organized by type, then arranged chronologically.
Recordings, if available, are located beneath each entry.
Links for published works direct to the publishers’ websites.
Perusal scores are available upon request. Please contact for perusal scores and more.

N.B. Unpublished works composed previous to graduate study at Michigan State University are not considered recent enough to warrant inclusion here.
