Please feel free to download any of my music that you have access to on this site. The ‘Listen Here’ button will take you to Soundcloud, where you can hear recorded performances by excellent musicians. The only thing that I ask is: let me know if you perform the work, so I can let SOCAN know and perhaps get performance royalties (I want to build a Sauna). If you prefer printed music, you can order scores and parts through the Canadian Music Centre, which is also the location of parts for orchestral scores.

Scores that are not available here should be at the Canadian Music Centre. There are perusal scores that you can look at before purchasing material, but those are sometimes a little tricky to find. Once on the CMC site, look for my page in the ‘D’ division in the ‘Browse CMC Associates’. Then, go to ‘works’. If you find a work, look for the ‘purchase online’ button and push it. This will take you to a page where there is a virtual perusal score.

You can always contact me directly for help.
