Nocturne for String Quartet or Viola Quartet
You can listen to the string quartet version here, and the viola quartet version here. And you can find the score and parts for both versions on this page of the IMSLP.
New Year's Greeting for 2022
I like to make these New Year's Greetings modular, so this one has versions for clarinet and viola, two violas, and two violins. I also made an arrangement of it for harpsichord or piano solo (you can see the music below)
You can find the music on this page of the IMSLP. I also made a transcription for harpsichord or piano.
Music for Viola in the IMSLP
I have been keeping most of my music and arrangements in the IMSLP since 2006, and in celebration of this tremendous resource I have made a list of all my solo music and chamber music there that includes viola. You can find everything on this list through this page, as well as through links to other pages in this cataloog on the sidebar.
You can find a larger (or at least zoom-in-able) version of this list here.
Weights and Measures for two violas and for two violins (or violin and another melody instrument)
These have the same scale-based parts for the upper voice as "Weights and Measures" for solo recorder, but the articulations and dynamics here are more suited to strings.
The second voice in the first (above) version is a dedicated violin part, which could also be played on the viola (as a violin and viola duet, or as a recorder--or flute and violin or viola duet), and the version for two violas is set a fifth lower, with both parts in the alto clef. The second voice in the two-viola version can be paired with the solo alto recorder version of the original. Everything can be mixed and matched.
Single-page (for tablet use) and duplex (for double-sided printing) PDFs are available on this page of the IMSLP.
Transcription: Tchaikovsky November Troika, October Autumn Song, and April Snowdrops (from The Seasons) for Three Violas
You can find the score and parts for November here, the score and parts for April here, and the score and parts for October here. The arrangements are on this page of the IMSLP (individually under the transcription tab).
You can listen to them as a suite (April, October, November) here.
Hindsight for Clarinet and String Quartet (A New Year's Greeting for 2021)
You can listen here, and you can find the music on this page of the IMSLP.
And now there is a transcription for clarinet and four violas on the same page of the IMSLP.
You can also find it here.
Arrangement: J.S. Bach Adagio from the F minor Violin Sonata, BWV 1018, for String Quartet, Clarinet Quartet, or Viola Quartet
[The version for viola quartet looks a lot like the version for clarinet quartet, but, like the string quartet version, it is in G minor rather than C minor--the original key.]
You can find the string quartet score and parts here, the clarinet score and parts here, and you can listen to a computer-generated recording of the string quartet version here. You can also find all three versions on this page of the IMSLP.

Mary Jane Waltz
August 4, 2018
The Mary Jane, a peanut-butter and molasses taffy, was invented by the Boston-based candy maker Charles N. Miller in 1914. In 1989 the Miller candy company was sold to Stark Candy, and the recipe and rights for the Mary Jane were sold to the NECCO candy company. NECCO made the candy in Revere, Massachusetts until the factory closed abruptly in July of 2018. This "Boston" waltz (with its slight hesitations) seems appropriate to celebrate the Boston-based treat.
You can listen to a performance of this piece here.
The score and parts are available on this page of the IMSLP.
Pasticcio for Four Violas and Bass, or for Five Violas
Through the magic of invertible counterpoint, this pastiche has two viol-consort-like settings:
