Original Compositions
I’ve composed routinely since the 1970s, mostly as an arranger of existing tunes into solos for hammered dulcimer and diatonic autoharp. Since 2002, after I spent a week studying melody and two-part writing with Alice Parker, the list has grown to include choral works (some with dulcimer or autoharp accompaniment), with several of them based on original melodies. Additionally, I occasionally compose for instruments outside my realm, some of them unexpected!
