Cathedral Hill (for mandolin orchestra) is an arrangement for mandolin orchestra of a fiddle tune that I wrote at the Classical Mandolin Society of America's annual convention in San Francisco in 1996. I added some new material and arranged it for mandolin orchestra in Denver in March of 2001. Later that year it was recorded by Douglas Back's Fretworks Mandolin and Guitar Orchestra as the title track of their second CD. A few other mandolin orchestras have played the piece since then but now I would like to share the music with any other mandolin or plucked string orchestras that might be interested. Please feel free to print as many copies of the score and parts as necessary for the use of your group. Also, don't hesitate to experiment with tempos and dynamics. My hope is that you will enjoy playing this music and that you will convey that enjoyment to your audiences.

Cathedral Hill (for mandolin quartet, 2011) is a quartet arrangement of the piece that I developed following the 2011 Classical Mandolin Society of America convention in Baltimore. It contains a few more measures that the earlier mandolin orchestra arrangement because it is based on a version I created for string orchestra in the summer of 2011.
