COMMISSIONS

As you can see below, David has filled over fifty commissions for schools, colleges and universities, churches, community ensembles, and foundations. He enjoys filling several commissions each year and tailoring each piece to the specific needs of a particular ensemble. He takes pleasure in the personal relationships developed with singers and conductors through the commissioning process.

If you would like to discuss a commission project with him, please e-mail David. Rates are flexible and are based on the length of the piece and the forces required.
