1995 and revised early this year. The second work is The Miraculous Violin,
written in 2000 for violinist Peter Sheppard Skaerved and 1 Solisti di Zagreb'
string ensemble. The third work composed last year, Black Fire, was written
for conductor Dr. Gerald Loren Welker, Peter Sheppard Skaerved and the
Alabama Wind Ensemble. The final composition is Fanfares & Celebrations
