In 1973, Dan Moore and a classmate composed a percussion duet for their junior high school talent show. The same year he wrote an original work for full band after which he learned some hard lessons about transposition and that music written in eight sharps was not a good thing—on several levels. Use the sort functions to check out the nearly 350 compositions and arrangements Dan has created to date.
