About the Work
Commissioned by the United States Air Force Academy Band (Rockies Clarinet Quartet). 'Frog Family' playfully captures the springtime awakening of a pond community—frogs croaking in bass register, leaping in brisk staccato arpeggios, and engaging in lively territorial chatter as the ice thaws. Commissioned by the U.S. Air Force Academy Band (2022–23).
