Adventures with Alice
I. How doth the little crocodile
II. Beautiful Soup
III. I sing this song for your delight
You can find the music on this page of the IMSLP.
Two Passages from Moby Dick for Two Trumpets
You can find the score and parts here, and listen to a computer-generated recording here. The music will soon be available on this page of the IMSLP.
Three Short Pieces for Trumpet and Piano
These are intended as teaching pieces for "entry level" trumpet players, but they can be played by advanced players too.
I also made a transposed version that can be played by "entry level" violinists and violists. You can find the music for both the original and the transcriptions 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.
Evolution for high or medium voice with harp or piano
The music is available on this page of the IMSLP, and the text comes from Alice Duer Miller's 1915 Are Women People? It is my hope that other composers will set some of the verses in this book (it has the subtitle "A book of rhymes for suffrage times") and will make their songs available in the IMSLP. Then we might have a whole collection.
"My House, I Say" for Tenor and Piano
Weights and Measures for two violas and for two violins (or violin and another melody instrument)
[May 3, 2021]
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.
Looking Glass Duo for Viola and Euphonium (or Cello)
You can find the music on this page of the IMSLP, and you can listen to a computer-generated recording here.
Pierrot spends a little while in the twilight
You can hear a virtual performance of it about 41 minutes into this video. UPDATE: I made a transcription for soprano or tenor with violin, and one for soprano and clarinet that you will find on the same page of the IMSLP.
I'm Staying Home for Christmas
It started bothering me. The tune fragment kept running through my head with the words, "I'm staying home this Christmas," so I had to use it in a brand-new Christmas song addressing the stamp issue and the current Christmas season. You will find the tune on the stamp at the half-way point of the song. The "original" is in F major, and this song is a whole-step lower, in the key of E-flat major.
You can find a PDF on this page of the IMSLP.
Here's recording by Susan Nelson!
(Thank you, Susan.)
The Months of the Year
You can listen to a computer-generated recording here.
You can find a PDF on this page of the IMSLP.
All of the things that belong to the day for low voice and piano
You can find the music here and listen to a computer-generated audio file here. It is also avaiable on this page of the IMSLP.
Listen to Susan Nelson's beautiful recording of "The Moon."
Two Fragments of Fragments from Jubilate Agno
These unaccompanied vocal duets are written to be sung together by way of electronic devices. You can find the music on this page of the IMSLP.
Arragement: Robert Schumann's Kinderscenen for Violin and Cello
Four Coliloquies for Flute and Oboe
Impressions

[June 11, 2020]
You can find the music here (transposed higher here) and on this page of the IMSLP. You can listen to a computer-generated recording here. If you are a singer without access to a pianist, and you would like to sing these, you can find audio files for the piano parts for both the mezzo and soprano versions (without the vocal line) here.
Alice Ruth Moore (1875-1935), the daughter of a once-enslaved mother, was born in New Orleans. She graduated from Straight University, and worked in New Orleans as an elementary school teacher. During the 1920s and 1930s Moore, who then went by the name Alice Dunbar-Nelson, was an activist for African American rights and women’s rights, appearing often as a speaker, and writing essays, reviews, and articles in newspapers, magazines, and academic journals.
Birthday Piece No. 12 for Viola d'amore and Piano

April 17, 2020
This is the last in a set of twelve "Birthday Pieces" for viola d'amore and piano. I began this set with a fifty-measure-long piece when I turned fifty, and wrote a new "Birthday Piece" each April, adding one measure per year. This year I decided to celebrate the end of the set (along with my sixty-first birthday) by adding eleven more measures to the final piece. You can find the music on this page of the IMSLP, and you can listen to a computer-generated recording here.
Click here to see all twelve, and here for a PDF. They are all available for free (but they do all require work to learn).
And you can find a transcription for violin and piano on the same page of the IMSLP, and listen to it here.
