Anger Management is a study in aggression and heartbreak. Its inspiration comes from a particularly nasty breakup and Tennysons maxim, Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. The piece considers and ultimately rejects this notion. My goal was to combine the narrative of romantic loss - with its elements of anger, nostalgia, despair and ultimately defiance - with a strict compositional technique and economy of material. The piece is based on two motives: the gruff, ascending three notes of the first bar and a descending half-step sigh, which is eventually transformed and intensified into a glissando ascending major-7th. Anger Management was premiered and recorded on April 1st, 2013 by Derek Cooper and the Manhattan School of Music String Ensemble.

Enjoy this powerful minor-key march with your young band. It’s a great opportunity for the beginning group to experience playing a concert-style march with big, bold themes. Scored so that even a relatively small group can sound solid and impressive, the dynamics and articulations give you plenty to teach while the ranges and rhythms stay well within manageable limits for all players. Your students will love playing Thunderbolt Peak March. Electrifying! Mit dem Thunderbolt Peak March bekommen Jugendblasorchester schon früh die Möglichkeit, einen imposanten Marsch im Konzertstil mit breit angelegten Themen zu spielen. Dieser kraftvolle Marsch in Moll klingt auch schon in kleinerer Besetzung gut, was oft unvollständig besetzten jungen Ensembles sehr entgegen kommen wird. Leicht, aber eindrucksvoll! l’est de la Californie s’élève la Sierra Nevada. Coiffée de neige, la cime du Mont Thunderbolt (Thunderbolt Peak) se dresse, spectaculaire, au beau milieu de cette chaîne montagneuse. Cette marche imposante aux thèmes amples décrit, dans un mode mineur, la dangereuse beauté du décor. Une œuvre efficace même si l’on dispose d’une formation incomplète.
