Searching for Destiny’s Diamond is a tension-filled, and mysterious work depicting young people seeking out their destiny during dark times — and ultimately towards the diamond that is their bright future. All parts can be learned at the same time since every section gets the melody in this work. The melodic figure in the second half is offset by one measure in Violin II, Viola and Bass, making for some intriguing harmonies that will increase the students' hearing ability. While optional, the piano part will add intrigue to your performance and was written to be accessible to developing pianists. If no pianist is available, a recorded piano part is available online.

Alasdroim (Pronounced Ah-lass-DRIMM) is a composition that draws upon two ancient Irish Gaelic folk songs. The songs are titled: Gol Na mBan San Ar (The crying of the women at the slaughter) and Mairseail Alasdroim (MacAllistrum's march). In 1647 at Knockinoss in the county of Cork, 4,000 Irishmen under the leadership of Alasdor MacDonnell went into battle with the forces of the British Lord Inchiquin. All of the Irish forces perished. The first of these two Gaelic folk songs is about the battle at Knockinoss. The second song was written for the funeral procession of Alasdor MacDonnell. The title, Alasdroim, is the Gaelic word for MacAllistrum. Alasdroim was composed for the 1996 Music Educators National Conference.
