At the present time I have composed 10 works for guitar ensemble, and arranged five other
works for this medium. Compositions and arrangements of mine in this medium have been
aired on Arkansas, Alabama, West Virginia, and Michigan Public Radio. The UALR guitar
ensemble was the first group of its kind to be invited to perform at the Mobile Collegiate
Jazz Festival in 1984, and exclusively performed works composed and arranged by myself at
that event. I have also composed and arranged four works for jazz ensemble that were
performed by the UALR Faculty Jazz Ensemble from 1982-1985. For solo guitar, I have
written/arranged one work, (Ode to Home Life), which I have programmed on many recitals.
In addition, I have done transcriptions of and performed works by Bach (Cello Suite #3;
Prelude, Fugue, Allegro; Violin Sonata #2; Chaconne in D Minor) and a several keyboard
sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti. I have also performed arrangements to many jazz songs, most
notably Duke Ellington's "I've Got It Bad", in recitals throughout Arkansas, and in
Illinois, West Virginia, and Michigan, Texas, Mexico, and France. A complete list of
compositions, arrangements and premiere dates is available upon request.

professional midi music sequencing software program), Finale 3.0, (the latest version of
this notation application), Band in a Box, (a midi play along program), Claris Works, (an

a nylon string midi guitar.

C. Music History/Literature
Lennon/McCartney (twice). This course is offered as an upper level history elective to
music majors and was taught as part of the UALR scholars seminar curriculum in Fall 1987.
It is very interdisciplinary in character, with analogies and comparisons made between
music, art history, psychology and philosophy. The class also reflects my concern for
developing effective writing skills across the curriculum, and integrating music theory
skills with aural development.
