String Quartet no. 2 pushes the limits of polytonality and extended
harmonies. This three movement work would be comparable to the
Bartok quartets, although quite different. Tonality is pushed to
its limits through the use of 2 or more harmonies played
simultaneously. This is a highly rhythmic string quartet based off
the composer's percussion background. Duration: 14 minutes
A 3 movement work for timpani with piano accompaniment. The subject
of the piece is the Resurrection. This work requires 5 timpani.
A four mallet marimba work written for a 4.6 octave marimba. Part
of a collection of future releases.
For my 64th work, I thought it would be fitting to compose
something for the 50th Anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s
I Have a Dream Speech. The number association also lines up with
the year of assassination of King and Lincoln. There are highly
virtuousic techniques used in this piece, while still having a
lyrical quality. Lift Every Voice and Sing is used in a few unique
ways as motivic development. Many have proclaimed it as the Black
National Anthem, but that is not official. The work comes from a
poem of the same title for the celebration of Lincoln's birthday.
The original poem discusses how far God has brought us. Many feel
that MLK's dream has been accomplished, while others feel his
dream, is unfinished. 4 mallet marimba Level: Professional
Duration: 23 minutes
Mark of Cain is a chamber ensemble work for 2 multi-percussionists.
The instrumentation consists of 4 congas and drumset. Based on the
4th Chapter of Genesis, this piece focuses on the mark placed on
Cain after he killed Abel. Polyrhythmic figures merge between each
performer requiring an enormous amount of dexterity to execute the
passages. Level: Extremely Advanced Duration: ca 11 minutes
The second symphony from Greg Jackson for orchestra. This is
loosely a program symphony based on the book of Exodus. Standard
instrumentation in 3 movements, with a duration of 33 minutes.
String Quartet no. 1 has strong roots in neo-Romanticism, while
pushing the limits of polytonality and extended harmonies. This
four movement work displays the expressive quality and aggressive
side of the string instruments in the ensemble. The composition is
in f minor and uses a harmonic progression of i-vii-V-i, which also
extends to the tonal areas of the 4 movements. Although some
traditional harmonic elements are used, tonality is pushed to its
limits through the use of 2 or more harmonies played
simultaneously. This is a highly rhythmic string quartet based off
the composer's percussion background. Duration: 19 minutes
The first completely thorough compilation of rudiments in print
with short exercises to help the percussionist learn to play each
rudiment. Includes the Percussive Arts Society 40 rudiments, almost
900 Hybrid rudiments, and the Jackson 40.
