New Works
Performance at St Martin in the Fields in London!
This year I have composed eight new one-minute pieces for the Vox Novus 15 Minutes of Fame program.  One of these, Stargazing from the Ramparts, was chosen for performance by the Nautilus Brass in New York in June.

Other new 
one-minute works include solo pieces for bassoon, clarinet, oboe, tuba and cello, as well as works for clarinet, horn & bassoon trio, string quartet and saxophone quartet.

I have also been working on some longer pieces:  Grand Imperial Promenade & Whimsy for the Purchase Brass Ensemble and two works in progress:  
Marvel for the Mirari Brass Quintet and Thornbury Ramble for the Thornbury Clarinet Choir.

One of Seattle's outstanding choral ensembles, The Esoterics gave four performances in May of their Sylvana concert program that featured my choral setting of The Tree.  A review in Oregon Arts Watch was very complimentary:

The Esoterics couldn't have opened with a better number than Seattle composer Greg Bartholomew's The Tree, on a poem by the minor American transcendentalist Jones Very. It fell well within the bounds of today's standard choral language, but it shone by virtue of its well-sculpted phrases and deft and fluid counterpoint, as if to say "this is how it's done."

The Esoterics have also recorded The Tree for an upcoming CD.
If you perform my work or if you know of a performance, please tell me and send me a PDF of the concert program.
