I have a few of his works:

4 Divine Poems of John Donne for Voice and Piano
Sinfonietta for Strings; Sonata for piano; Symphony in E;Voyageur, Ballet

To my ears the music is quite good. It is conservative, classically
structured and, as I recall, somewhat French in sound.

If you want a copy of the Sinfonietta, feel free to email me directly.
