Hi Enaldo - that's wonderful to hear! Yes, I believe this will be the first time it is performed in Brazil. I was born in 1982.

Thanks for the info. We look forward to playing more of your music! Our string program is growing and becoming more advanced every year, so a next goal of mine is to commission engaging works by living composers. Your style was a hit with all involved, so thank you.

That's great to hear, Ben! If you need a printed hard copy version, you should go with JW Pepper because I haven't shipped overseas yet. If all you need are the PDFs, it's always cheaper to go through my site.

My high school group just performed your Carol of the Bells/God Rest Ye arrangement for the final all-school assembly. They loved it and want more! I'll buy Toccata and Fugue for sure and want to hear more! Is it better to purchase directly from your website vs. jwpepper, or is it all the same to you?

Dear Matt I'm at Pepperdine University Malibu, CA. We purchased WE Three Kings from Sheet Music Plus and have been rehearsing your arrangement since it arrived. But this last week the Woolsey wildfires forced us to close our campus until after Thanksgiving. Our concert is Nov 29th so our rehearsal time has been compressed. Because of the evacuation of our campus, I was unable to scan the music to send to our students. Would you be able to send me a copy of the instrument parts digitally so I can email them to students to practice? I know this is an unusual request, but this has been a very stressful time. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Tony tony.cason@pepperdine.edu

Thanks Michelle! Yes I plan to do more flute arrangements. They would most likely be adaptions from my violin arrangements. So if there is one that you like in particular, let me know.

I LOVE your Carol of the Bells flute arrangement - any plans for future flute arrangements?

Hi Levacy - sorry for the delay! I thought I responded but I see that I didn't. I hope to have an other duet available sometime next year.
