Serenade is in six movements with contrasting styles.

Multum in Parvis differs from Helble's other percussion orchestra works in that most of the material is introduced and developed by membranophones rather than keyboards.

Mirages is an original piece with four movements written for vibraphone, marimba, double bass, drums and clarinet/bass clarinet. The composition expresses four different musical moods and personalities.

This marimba part to this version is exactly the same as the original for solo marimba (2010). There are now additional string parts (two violins, viola, and cello) to accompany this solo. An even more beautiful version of one of my most beautiful compositions.

Four Faces is scored for 5.0 marimba soloist, four percussionists, and electric bass. Rhythmically extremely interesting, and not at all like any other music for marimba solo and percussion quartet. Check it out!

Outgoing (original version 2011) is scored for piano, marimba (5.0), timpani and two percussionists, and is approximately 9'30" in length. In instrumentation only, I had in mind the Sonata for Two Pianists and Two Percussionists by Bartok. The marimba part is the second piano part. There is a highly chromatic timpani part as in the Sonata. The percussion parts are really in effect a drum set part split into two parts, one playing the drums and one playing cymbals, thus completing the similarity in instrumentation to the Bartok Sonata. This is a broad and expansive work, encompassing a number of different styles of music and expressive capabilities of the exciting chamber group.

Cordes et lames ("Strings and Bars") for marimba and string quintet. Featured on Eric Sammut's CD "Mirages".

Dex moves through a myriad of textures, colors, and metric modulations to create a sort of "drumming fanfare" that is both fun to play and experience as a listener.

Fandango 13 is a virtuosic burst of energy from beginning to end. It was premiered by the Eastman Percussion Ensemble at PASIC 2013 and dedicated to those players who brought it to life so brilliantly.

This concerto is destined to become one of the most important and often-performed works in the solo timpani literature. Although it was composed and premiered by the National Symphony Orchestra in the 1960s, it has been unpublished and unavailable until it was "rescued" by Leigh Howard Stevens (at the composer's request).

Percussion Ensemble Sextet for Vibraphone, Marimba, Xylophone, Glockenspiel, Drum Set & Cabasa/Triangle/Clave.

Lights of the Forest is a loosely programmatic piece. It is inspired by a series of images of light in a forest: the setting sun through the trees, a campfire of a traveler, the glowing eyes of a predator, the glow of bioluminescent life forms, stars peering through the boreal canopy, first light as night recedes.

"I really enjoyed this piece for its complexity of techniques, orchestration, and level of difficulty."
