    A brand new solo piano piece, dedicated to Brenda.

    Air (formerly Big Brother) (2014)
    An easygoing exploration of the wonderful low register of the piccolo, written for Tod.

    Caught Between Two Worlds (2003, 2009)
    For spoken voice (Thalia), baritone (Wilford) and the trio. Three interrelated poems by my mother, Dorothy Cary. A story of deep family history and memory.

    Images from the Past, Warped Oracle, Rag Wrung Dry and Exquisite Corpus
    Selections from four books of songs for spoken voice and piano (2018-2023). Settings of my own poems, dreams, nature writing, stories, journal entries.

    Overture from 3 Hands (2003)
    “Ice Cream” Aria from 3 Hands (2003) libretto by Jaime Robles
    Six cheerful good-natured guys play three hands of poker. During the game Alex (Wilford) tells of his feelings for a girl working in an ice cream shop he visits while rebuilding an old cottage.
