A catalog of works follows, which is organized into different compositional genres: Orchestra, Concert Band, Large Chamber Ensemble, Solo and Chamber Music, Voice and Piano, Chorus, Theater Music, and Books. Under each genre, the works are organized alphabetically by title. Entries include the date and length of composition as well as organization of instrumentation (if appropriate). Each entry also includes the date, place, and performer(s) of the premiere of the work. Also included is a chronological list of compositions and a discography, the latter of which is alphabetized by title and includes the publication date, performers, record label, and record number. It concludes with a curriculum vitae and a list of music publishers.
