Celebration Overture 1776-1976 was commissioned by ABC TV for the bicentennial. It was premièred by the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington DC in May 1976.
Colloquy for Solo Trombone and Symphonic Band was commissioned by The United States Army Band and premièred before 12,000 people at an outdoor concert in Washington DC at the Watergate the summer of 1967. The New York première took place that winter at Carnegie Hall. Colloquy is a favorite of the trombone soloists of the Boston Symphony and New York Philharmonic. Since 1992 when Colloquy for Solo Trombone and Symphony Orchestra premièred Colloquy has become repertoire. It has been performed worldwide in both orchestral and symphonic band versions by both Jazz and Symphonic players. Joe Alessi , soloist of the New York Philharmonic, recently recorded Colloquy, as did Ron Baron, soloist of the Boston Symphony, a few years earlier.

"Colloquy possibly represents the best example of contemporary writing with jazz implications in the entire trombone repertoire." Vern Kagarice, "Guide to Trombone Solos"
Wake Up America Overture was commissioned by ABC TV in 1974. This work was performed by the Toronto Symphony the summer of 1975.
