The Lorelei Ensemble in a recording session of A Single Decade Rosary.

The works listed below represent a large portion of the composer's catalogue.  Pieces are broken into categories of instrumental music (subdivided into solo/small ensemble and large ensemble works), music with voice (subdivided into chamber works and works for chorus/large ensemble) and music in the electronic medium (subdivided into fixed media pieces and pieces with performers.)  Pieces for performer and electronic media are listed in both the instrumental and electronic categories.  Several of the pieces have a recording that can be heard by clicking the link to the right of the piece's listing.
