I am available for commission and have already written many works for orchestras around the country.  Several have been published: Wait Your Turn, Lemon Twist, and Westward Motion.

•  I charge $550 for a one-page string orchestra piece (about 55 to 70 measures) and $75 for each additional page.  

• I provide a score and one copy each of the parts (which the commissioner may photocopy) 

• I retain the copyright and publishing rights to all of my works.

• I will have final say in the new piece's title.

• The commissioning party writes the dedication.

• The commissioning party is guaranteed the world premiere.
