I haven't had a reason to update this page for a long time, but there's a very good chance it's why you're here.

Send me an email if you want a copy of any of these. I'll probably ask for a recording in exchange if you ever make one. The only piece here that's formally published is the Sonatina for Baritone Saxophone, which has purchase information available below. Can also still try sending me an email about that one.
