An avid transcriber, arranger, and orchestrator, Matthew has produced numerous pieces: transcribing by ear, scores for up to 17 musicians consisting of strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion, piano, guitar, and vocals. The scope of these transcriptions also includes distilling a full big band orchestration down to a piano and vocal arrangement, adding string, woodwind and brass parts to fill out a small Jazz combo tune, as well as orchestrating an intimate work originally for piano and voice, and conducting its premiere.
