My initial contract was composing and conducting the television theme and episodes for the 120 episode television series for PBS entitled "Wild America", working closely with the producers in creating a theme that will deliver the impact they envision for their program. This can involve several rewrites over what is often a compressed time schedule. A sampled mock-up of the score follows, with all the appropriate orchestral colorings (instruments). When approved, hiring contractors, copyists, music editors begins.
