Apollo's Chariot (for concert band Gr. II) selected as a 2007 J.W. Pepper Editor's Choice.
J.W. Pepper's description:
"You'll want to grab the reins of the nearest chariot when you experience the action of this wonderfully descriptive work. Thundering percussion provides the fuel throughout, even though the parts are well within the playing abilities of this level. Well written and effectively scored, it will have younger groups sounding much more developed and mature."
