His career as a music educator spans three decades and he is very active as a composer, clinician and conductor throughout the United States and Canada. His compositions for young ensembles display a practical, erudite approach which has firmly established him as a leader in the field. Since 1993, William has written over 150 commissioned and published works for concert band and string orchestra. His music has been performed at Carnegie Hall, the Midwest Clinic, and appears on required music lists both nationally and abroad. Principal commissions include those from the California Band Directors Association, the Chicago Public Schools Bureau of Cultural Arts, the Iowa Bandmasters Association, the South Plains College (TX) Department of Fine Arts and the Texas University Interscholastic League. Several of his compositions are recorded and analyzed in educational text by the GIA series Teaching Music Through Performance in Band. William is a 1985 graduate of VanderCook College of Music in Chicago. He has been the recipient of numerous awards and grants for composition including the Forrest L. Buchtel Citation, presented to him by his alma mater. Professional memberships include the American Society of Composers Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), the American Composers Forum (ACF), the Association of Texas Small School Bands (ATSSB) and the Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA). In January 2014, William formally retired from duty as a band director in Texas after 29 years of service. In his spare time, he enjoys sightseeing and reading, particularly motivational material and presidential biographies. William resides in Fort Worth, TX with his wife and best friend, Georgia. About the Music Yonaguska (Drowning Bear) was a Cherokee chief known for peacefully resisting United States attempts to relocate the Oconaluftee Cherokee in North Carolina to the Oklahoma Territory in contravention of the Treaty of 1819. His work resulted in the Oconaluftee being recognized as citizens of North Carolina. Yonaguska is also known for fighting the detrimental effects of whiskey on his people through temperance reform policies. Mount Yonaguska in Western North Carolina is named in his honor. The work begins quite subtly and becomes increasingly dramatic as it progresses. While the latter aggressive section of the work could be perceived as a “call to war”, it is a peaceful but nonetheless strong stand against the efforts to remove and ultimately eradicate a proud Cherokee nation.
