Lokuttara means Ultramundane. It is the power that enables the mind to transcend beyond the world, or beyond the limits of our system. This piece is mainly focusing on the texture and timbre inspired by chanting or praying. For example, the texture of this piece is imitating the rhythm of speech or the singing of words or sounds, called reciting tones, as in a chant or a prayer. The timbre enlightens the listener to the sound and atmosphere beyond the material world, echoing the transcendence of Tibetan monk chants. The direction of the lines are mainly focused on the departure from a low register to a high register as if the mind transcends from the fiscal world to the the world beyond our system. The thematic and harmonic material are controlled by the set of pitches which function as the main material for the entire piece. Lokuttara consists of three main sections divided fast--slow--fast. Although the material is from the same pitch collection, the music in each section transforms into many different forms. Lokuttara is graciously commissioned by the Barlow Endowment for Music Composition at Brigham Young University for the United States Marine Band, Brigham Young University's Wind Symphony and Florida State University's Wind Orchestra as the Endowment's performing consortium who will premiere the work in 2015.

Troika is a Russian word that means a group of three but it also means a light Russian sleigh pulled by three horses. Christmas Troika portrays the joy of Christmas via a musical sleigh-ride. Listen as the glistening snow crinkles beneath the weight of the sleigh and the hooves of the prancing horses as it travels through the countryside. One can almost see the frost on the trees and hear the wind blow and the sleigh-bells ring as the tune O Come, All Ye Faithful winds its way through the music.

Troika ist ein russisches Wort für einen dreiarmigen Leuchter oder einen dreispännigen Schlitten. Letzterer ist auch in diesem weihnachtlichen Stück für Brass Band gemeint, der eine Schlittenfahrt durch ein verschneite Winterlandschaft beschreibt. Durch die Musik kann man förmlich die Eiszapfen an den Bäumen sehen und die Schlittenglocken hören, während die Fahrt zu den Klängen von Herbei, o ihr Gläubigen ihren Lauf nimmt...
