Equinox was written in late 2011 as a showcase for the euphonium quartet Euphony, who gave the premiere at the opening concert of the 'Festival of Brass' at the Royal Northern College of Music in January 2012. Since then, Euphony have played the work extensively, including a performance at the International Tuba Euphonium Conference in June 2012, at the Brucknerhaus Concert Hall in Linz, Austria. The word 'equinox' is derived from the Latin aequi (equal) and nox (night). It is the name given to the twice-yearly occasion when the earth's axis is inclined neither away from nor towards the sun, so that day and night are of the same duration. With this in mind I structured the work from two thematic groups, consisting of sections of equal length. The first, which is heard after a brief introduction, is marked Energico, and its character is marked by sustained, lyrical lines unfolding over an accompaniment of rapid and deftly articulated rhythmical phrases. The second section, slow and expressive, offers the strongest contrast both in mood and tempo. By a further association of ideas, this sharp distinction of material could be thought of as representing the frenzy of daytime in comparison with the tranquillity of night. In the third and final section, figures from both the preceding sections are brought together in a vigorous finale, the interplay of the four parts intended to demonstrate the capabilities of the euphonium to the full. Equinox was the winning entry in the 2012 Stainer & Bell Award for Brass Composition, held at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama.

Instrumental colors abound in this emotionally moving memorial piece, Solace in the Equinox by Tyler S. Grant. Impressionistic passages float in and out of varied instrumental combinations, creating sonic palettes of pastel colors and swirling shapes. Just as the fall equinox balances darkness and light, the music exhibits a harmonious balance between moments of quiet and delicate textures with contrasting fully scored statements of brightness and joy.

Equinox Sonata (2015) for trumpet and piano was written for and is dedicated to Chris Gekker. The work was commissioned with support from the University of Maryland. At the two yearly equinoxes, the plane of the earth's equator passes the center of the sun, and day and night are equal. Sun Horizon is bright and energetic, cast in a loose sonata form. Dream Walking is dedicated in memory of composer Brian Fennelly (1937-2015). The tone is lyric and elegiac--building to several climaxes before ending quietly. Moon Mysteries begins with a machine-like ostinato and a modal melody. The (nervous) energy does not abate as the music presses towards a vigorous conclusion. Instrumentation: Trumpet and Piano Duration: 15' Composed: 2015 Published by: Zimbel Press.

This powerful programmatic composition, Past the Equinox is a musical depiction of the metaphorical battle between light and dark, good and evil. The climactic presentation of the Advent hymn, Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus, represents the crowing victory of the light.

As summer ends, the chill of the autumn air awakens feelings within us. The shadows are longer in late afternoon and darkness comes early. The trees are losing their leaves and their gnarled trunks and branches take on sinister profiles against the looming twilight. We shudder at the cold wind. Our pulse quickens and we suddenly want to return to the safety and warmth of home. Night falls and we are once again at peace. We say a final farewell to the carefree days of summer and accept the relentless march of the seasons. Winter will soon be here. Shadows of the Equinox is a dramatic and lyrical piece inspired by a late Midwest autumn. It was commissioned by the 2010 Festival of Bands, Vincennes, Indiana, including the bands from Barr-Reeve, Loogootee, Mitchell, North Daviess, North Knox, and South Knox High Schools. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

Minimal Piano Dimensions - Epische und cinematische Musik zum Träumen Für Fans von Ludovico Einaudi, Philip Glass und Hans Zimmer 'Minimal Piano Dimensions' enthält 16 neue Kompositionen für Klavier nach dem Vorbild von Philip Glass, Ludovico Einaudi, Hans Zimmer und Yann Tiersen. Die Sammlung bietet einen facettenreichen Querschnitt durch verschiedene moderne minimalistische Stile. Von melancholischen, klangmalerischen Miniaturen, über präludienartige Stücke bis hin zu epischer und bombastischer 'Trailermusik', wie man sie aus diversen Hollywood-Filmen kennt, werden eine Vielzahl von Charakteristiken zeitgemäßer Klaviermusik abgedeckt. Die Stücke bleiben dabei stets eingängig und leicht spielbar und stellen somit für den fortgeschrittenen Klavierschüler eine reizvolle und motivierende Abwechslung zur klassischen Unterrichtsliteratur dar. Um die Auswahl gemäß dem individuellen Übungsstand zu erleichtern, wurden alle Stücke nach aufsteigender Schwierigkeit geordnet. Als Mehrwert und um den Spaß- und Erlebnisfaktor weiter zu erhöhen, wurden fünf der Titel zusätzlich als komplette Orchesterarrangements bearbeitet, die als ergreifende Begleitmusik (Playalongs) für das eigene Spiel verwendet werden können.
