Recently
the Illinois State University Wind Symphony
conducted by Dr. Steve Steele was kind enough
to rehearse and record my piece "A Changed
Anthem". The original work was selected
for the NBA Young Composer Mentor Project
in 2005, however this is a significant reworking
of that piece. Click on the image to the left
to listen. "A Changed Anthem" was
written in memory of the events of September
11, 2001. |

on the style of various classic wind band

by Ben Harloff, an original “Blast!”

with many university and high school groups.
He currently works with Carolina Crown.
Each month a new etude will be available
from layered.org. Click on the layered logo
