One of his arrangements, "Caroling, Caroling," was written for a General's retirement and well recieved for its setting of a drum battle to "We Wish You a Merry Christmas." The piece was performed twice at the University of Illinois: in 1989 at the Foellinger Auditorium, and in 1990 at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts.
