Solo arrangements:
Astor Piazzolla - Oblivion
Easily one of my favorite pieces of all time. I was reluctant to try arranging it since there were already so many beautiful renditions. In 2010, a close friend and fellow tango aficionado got the news that his father had unexpectedly passed in an accident, and I wanted to honor him with this arrangement.
Please mention me as the arranger in any performances or programs, and if you ever record yourself playing it, please share the recording with me so I can hear your interpretation. Additionally, please feel free to make changes in the arrangement where you see fit - tango is a very individualistic and free musical style and I would encourage you to experiment with various ornamentations, harmonies, rubato, etc.

Philip Glass - Knee Play 4 / Knee Play 5 from Einstein on the Beach
A simple but elegant minimalist piece that explores rhythm/meter/textures over a repeated chord progression. The arrangement is for Knee Play 4, but to perform Knee Play 5, you'll just play and repeat the middle section (mm. 46-93), and recite (or have someone else recite) Samuel Johnson's text, "Lovers on a Park Bench."
