Five Miniatures is an attempt to capture, in sound, several picturesque locations around the Mercer University campus in Macon, Georgia.  The compositional language features lyrical melodies, occasional rhythmic complexity, and contemporary performance techniques such as double-tonguing and multiphonics.  In addition, this work blends jazz-influenced harmonies with other contemporary organizational structures such as octatonic collections, intervallic development, and polychordal harmony.
