LATEST COMPOSITIONS
2019
In The Silence of the Canyon (2019, manuscript)
Commissioned by the Hopkins Junior High School (Fremont, CA), Gregory Conway, conductor.
“In the silence of the canyon” is a composition that reflects my impressions of the Grand Canyon. I found it amazing that in such a busy tourist spot, one could find solace in areas of this incredible “wonder of the world” where only a light breeze and lone bird circling is on your horizon. The reoccurring full band motive initially reflects the first moment one looks into the canyon. It returns several times in the piece, unpredictably much as hiking the canyon, coming around a turn and seeing its grandeur once again! - Jack Stamp

Waiting for the Sunlight
(2017, Published by Neil Kjos Music Company) Written in memory of Linda Mann and given as a gift to the Florida Bandmasters Association for their Middle School All-State Band. Puzzle Pieces (2017, manuscript)
Written for and dedicated to Don & William Green. Don Green and I have been friends for over a quarter of a century. He has dedicated his professional life to music education in Western Pennsylvania and is a superb teacher. For several years, Don has been asking me to write a band piece that would promote autism awareness; Don’s son William is challenged with that condition. As I have recently retired, it has been my desire to “give back” to a profession that has given me so much. So, I have written such a work entitled “Puzzle Pieces”. The Puzzle Piece is the logo of the Autism Society because the affliction does not affect any two people the same way. |
