Commissions
If you’re interested in commissioning a piece, whether it be a choral anthem or a concert work, a piano arrangement, or a work for orchestra or band, I’d be happy to talk to you about it.
Please send me your desired- timeframe, length, voicing/instrumentation, difficulty level, style, dedication, etc. With this information, I can give you an idea of availability, and a price quote. We can then discuss text, style, etc.; the goal is to find an idea where your needs intersect my inspiration/interest. When we’re agreed on all the details, we’ll then sign a contract which spells out the details and the agreed-upon cost (which usually involves 30-50% as an up-front deposit.) Use the “Contact Dan” tab to contact me, and I’ll get back to you promptly.
