Chaconne (in memoriam) Ron Nelson
Using as its harmonic basis a constantly repeating 8-bar chord pattern (hence, Chaconne), this single-movement, elegiac, and lovely treatment is a combination of interwoven constantly shimmering wind lines with ethereal percussion and keyboard (synthesizer and piano) effects. Solo parts are cued in several other instruments. The result is a stunningly moving musical experience. ...

This is a suite of Renaissance dances which were characteristic to five different European countries.

Epiphanies (Fanfares and Chorales) Ron Nelson
Clusters of sound, brilliant brass fanfares, bravura ensemble writing, and a stunning conclusion make this a wonderful, declamatory opener for any concert or celebratory occasion.

As the title implies, the work explores textures, sounds and ... resonances.Besetzungsliste / I ...
