The NBC Symphony Orchestra: In 1994 I completed a dissertation about the orchestra of the National Broadcasting Company, which was conducted by Arturo Toscanini from 1937 to 1954. A few years later I published an article about the orchestra's tour to South America in 1940 in the journal American Music 18:3.

The Real Cooking Is Done in the Studio: In 1994, I wrote this article in response to Martha Bayles's book Hole in Our Soul.

Elmer Bernstein's Compositional Archetypes: In April 2012, I gave this paper at a fabulous film music conference at CSU Long Beach on the legacy of the silent era in later film composing. This article looks at the genealogy, so to speak, of the melodic ideas in the music of Elmer Bernstein (1922–2004).
