Describing the playful cascading of a waterfall, this light-hearted work gives students multiple opportunities to work on both style and technique. Alternating between energetic ostinatos and lyrical phrases, students will work on creating different moods through dynamics and bow technique. Written in string-friendly D Major, the music does require high third fingers and extensions, along with a few accidentals. Not only is it a great piece to reinforce compound meter and articulation, it is extremely fun to play and hear.

Taking inspiration from the lakes of northern New York state, as well as Niagara Falls, Falling Water is composed in the form of a fantasia, featuring multiple sections of varied textures, restless tonality, and dramatic energy. Breaking free from some of the usual conventions of traditional concert band writing, this work is fresh sounding and a welcome addition to the repertoire for young bands. Duration: 4:45.

Work for Chamber dating from 1988. The composer writes: MINNEWATER means 'love water'/'love lake', but when I began to compose the work, this direct meaning of the title was not very important to me. Rather the word itself had a magical sound. Later on, however, it occurred to me that the piece was full of mumbling swells and swarming cascades, and the sensation of water is perhaps most perceptible towards the end where lots of falling water movements are felt behind the emphasized rhythmic surface. Falls that moreover, quite literally at the end, sinks into the water. MINNEWATER has a subtitle: THOUSANDS OF CANONS, which directly refers to a compostion technique where all layers and elements in the music constantly are imitated; possibly waves imitating each other? The mudded and impalpable beginning of the work takes its starting point in one of my earlier pieces, the sextett LES TUCHINS (in fact the first 5 or 6 pages of the two pieces are quite identical but in MINNEWATER it is all 'blown up' to a larger ensemble). Quite soon, however, the thread to LES TUCHINS is cut off and it goes its own way; From the mumbling in the start - through swarming trills and pointilistic staccato movements - to a long section where the trumpet appears as a soloist and in a way conducts the movements of the remaining ensemble right to the rhythmic final section of the piece. MINNEWATER was commissioned by the Danish Radio for the German Ensemble Modern.
