Jolly On A House Top

Jolly On A House Top

Here's some fun for the heavy metal element in your flute choir. The perfect vehicle for spotlighting the low flutes while providing a little tonal variety to your holiday concerts. Two popular Christmas songs are combined in a piece that runs the gamut from quick hoedown to lyrical ballad to laid-back jazz.
I Wonder As I Wander

I Wonder As I Wander

The moody melody is accompanied by active, beautiful and bubbling 16th notes. A variation takes the song into a lighter mood that’s Celtic and lilting.
Handels Messiah In 5

Handel’s Messiah (In 5 Minutes)

Highlights from Handel's beloved oratorio include: "Glory to God in the Highest," "For Unto Us a Child Is Born," "Amen," "He Shall Purify," "He Shall Feed His Flock," and, of course, the rousing "Hallelujah Chorus." Perfect for those who want a taste of the work without having to eat the whole meal.
Gloria Fantasie

Gloria Fantasie

A freely adapted rendition of “Angels We Have Heard on High.” Appropriate for high school level players and up.
Ding Dong Deck

Ding Dong Deck

This is a great show opener or overture that combines “Ding Dong! Merrily on High” and “Deck the Halls.” It makes ample use of major thirds to give the impression of a whole lot of doorbells. It’s bubbly, fast, and engaging.
Christmas Night (and Day)

Christmas Night (and Day)

The “Night” and “Day” come from the combination of “O Holy Night” and “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day.” It’s heartfelt where it should be and downright jolly in the middle.
Christmas Jubilation

Christmas Jubilation

My first book for flute and piano contains arrangements that are fun, joyous, jubilant, and yes, sparkling. Something different for your holiday concerts!
Christmas Joy

Christmas Joy

This collection of 20 duets for 2 C Flutes will come in handy during the holiday season. Perfect for church services, school concerts, or just for students and teachers to play at lessons. Each flute shares the melody.
Christmas Flutist

The Christmas Flutist

Have you ever been asked to play your flute at a Christmas party but couldn't because your accompanist wasn't invited? Then this collection of 20 solos for flute alone was written just for you! Also appropriate for use at church services, of course, or for student lessons in December to get into the holiday mood.
Christmas Banquet

The Christmas Banquet

A Renaissance mix of Yuletide music and secular dances such as “Greensleeves,” “The Boar’s Head Carol,” “Une jeune fillette,” “Psalite” and others.
Sacred Flutist

The Sacred Flutist

This is the companion volume to "The Christmas Flutist," featuring 24 sacred pieces appropriate for the rest of the church year.
Nutcracker In 5 for Solo Flute

The Nutcracker (In 5 Minutes) for Flute and Piano

Using themes from the entire ballet rather than just the Suite, I was hoping to give this work a fresher sound. You know you’ve heard some of the tunes, but maybe you didn’t realize it was from “The Nutcracker.”
Minute Waltz In 5

The Minute Waltz (In 5 Minutes)

A waltz medley based on Chopin’s “Minute Waltz” is chock full of familiar Strauss, Tchaikovsky, and even Scott Joplin tunes, plus sneaky references that will make knowing audiences smile with recognition.
Magic Flute In 5 Flute and Piano

The Magic Flute (In 5 Minutes) for Flute and Piano

Written for my own concert use long ago, I didn't want this to be just a medley of hit tunes, but stand on its own as an organic whole. The concept has proven to be quite popular and has started the long-running "5-Minute" series.
Lyrical Flutist

The Lyrical Flutist

Short solos arranged for flute alone based on melodies drawn from many different genres: opera, folk music, piano pieces, and much more. Whenever you need a nice tune for any occasion, this is the book for you!
In My Life

In My Life

This lovely Beatles ballad, arranged for flute and piano, is appropriate for memorial services, concerts, or even weddings.
Christmas Jubilation

Christmas Jubilation

21st Century Masterworks

21st Century Masterworks

I wrote a solo especially for this collection of original pieces by women composers. It's called "Mood Swings" and is in fine company: Jennifer Higdon, Sarah Bassingthwaighte and Gay Kahkonen to name a few.
