016 Fantasy for Trumpet and Piano by Rex Richardson is an extreme and obscure piece of trumpet repertoire. My doctoral dissertation is based around the execution of this piece and how it applies to extreme repertoire as a whole. This audo was recorded and produced in the DBH recording studio by Dave Henderson.

Quarantine for unaccompanied trumpet was the opening piece for my DMA recital in the Spring of 2023. This piece held a lot of meaning in this performance for me. This was actually the first live, solo recital that I have performed since the pandemic.
This piece, which is slowly become a standard in the trumpet repertoire, originally comes from a violin Concerto with orchestra by Vivaldi. J.S. Bach reinterpreted the piece with his own flair for harpsichord. In the modern day, it is most commonly performed on the piccolo trumpet, popularized by trumpeter Matthias Höfs.
All Through the Night was was composed for one of my first trumpet teachers, Tim Hudson of Greensboro, NC. This piece is dedicated to Tim, Michelle, and Tom Hudson. It is based on the traditional Welsh lullaby "Ard hyd y nos" (All through the night).
