To discuss a commission, contact me at chave1959@gmail.com
Most commissions take 3–12 months, depending on the size of the project and my schedule. Occasionally I will have an unexpected break and can fit something in more quickly, so don't hesitate to contact me at the last minute if necessary.
Fees typically start around $500 for a solo arrangement and increase for larger instrumentations or longer works. There's never any harm in asking, and I welcome all inquiries at the email above.
Typical commissions include:
Brass quintet arrangements
Solo works with piano or brass accompaniment
Custom arrangements for brass ensemble
Works for student or community ensembles
If you decide to commission a work, we’ll finalize the details with a simple written agreement covering timeline, fee, and usage rights.
My arrangements are performed by brass players around the world and are designed to be practical, idiomatic, and rewarding to perform.
