Contact me if you have an idea for a commission. Some details to think about include: possible texts, the length of the work, performing forces, accompaniment, difficulty level, the date of the first rehearsal, inscription on the title page and a general mood or style for your commissioned work.
Commissioning fees depend on the length of the work and the instrumentation. Shorter works for voices with or without keyboard accompaniment will generally start at $1000 with higher amounts for works with brass, strings or other accompaniments. Contact me for complete details.
