Video Game is composed in the style of classic video game music from the 80's. It has five movements: 1.Title Screen, 2.Run, Jump, Shoot, 3.Love Interest, 4.Final Battle, & 5.The End (Thanks for Playing!). This piece is designed to be easily playable by a good middle-school level ensemble. Suitable for either string orchestra, or full orchestra with optional wind parts. Look at a sample of the score. Listen to the synth version (in all its 8-bit glory) of the first three movements: 1.Title Screen 2.Run, Jump, Shoot 3.Love Interest |

March of the Fat Women is a short, raucous, and fun piece that was written and must be played with tongues firmly planted in cheeks. While this piece is most effective with a large orchestra, an abundance of cues make it accessible for almost any ensemble. It would make a fabulous encore, especially if you're looking for a piece the concert band and orchestra can play together. |
