| This work was originally written to perform on a concert program for the Arlington Heights Library. The sonata exhibits a Franz Liszt flavor. It is technically demanding from start to finish with waves of arpeggiated chords supporting octave melodies. The first movement paints a picture of waves caressing a beach. The second movement starts with allusions to the first movement then moves into a melancholy mood that finally bursts forth in a fury. The third movement incorporates thoughts from the second movement but in a whirlwind fashion. This raucous adventure finally stops for a reflective breath in the middle but quickly is off and racing to it’s intense staccato finish. |

| This piece was written in honor of the marriage of Susan Siciliano and Michael Meyers, December 22, 1996. The first movement starts out with Irish melody. The second movement begins with solo flute and the piano joining in for a romantic interplay. The phrase of the flute tapers as the piano line rises up in an incessant emotional swell. Susan performed this section of the sonata for all in attendance at her and Michael’s wedding reception. The third movement reminds me of Poulenc. It remains founded in tonality but ventures into a contemporary chromatic mode. This is definitely the most challenging of the three movements for both the flute and piano. |

| This work originated as a project for a composition class taught by Dr. Michelle Schelle at Butler University. It is my commentary on the often overused and misused definition of love. The violin represents man and his constant struggle between good and evil. The minimalist piano part represents the heartbeat of man. The tone cluster at the beginning and end of the piece represents the creation of man. The flute portrays an angel pulling man towards heaven. The cello represents Satan’s constant pull towards evil. |

| Composed in January of 1996, this work was written for a contest sponsored by the Elgin Choral Union. They wanted a Christmas piece of approximately eight to ten minutes. I think perhaps, they were looking for a “lighter” work along the lines of Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire. I started to write this piece with every intent of writing the lyrics myself. Once again, I tried to move forward with the piece but kept hitting a stumbling block; the language. I couldn’t come up with lyrics of my own because the melody I heard in my head was being sung in Latin. I went through my Norton Samplers from college and came across Gregorian chant studies. I dissected the text from four different pieces and reassembled them for this work. Once again, I was drawn to the Baroque/Renaissance sound to allow the text to be emphasized more dramatically. |
