His music has also been performed by soloists such as Barrick Stees of The Cleveland Orchestra, Michael Burritt of the Eastman School of Music, William Moersch of The University of Illinois, Timothy McAllister of Northwestern University, Mark Ford of The University of North Texas, and Vincent DiMartino, former Distinguished Artist in Residence at Centre College in Danville, Kentucky.
McCarthy's early music (1985-1999) was a mixture of ElectroAcoustic (electronic music with live soloists or chamber ensemble) and acoustic chamber music usually featuring an instrumental soloist. He frequently wrote for soloists who played instruments previously neglected by composers such as the marimba, tuba, euphonium, viola, saxophone, and bassoon. Much of the music he wrote during this period was influenced by J.R.R. Tolkien's, The Lord of the Rings. His musical language was eclectic, ranging from non-serial atonality to tertian and modal harmonies, frequently contrapuntal, and had a high degree of metric/rhythmic animation. This musical language reflected his previous occupation as a commercial musician in jazz, funk, and rock genres. However, he had an abiding love for the music of Gustav Mahler and Igor Stravinsky which manifested itself in dark, somber musical moods.
His writing style began to change coinciding with his appointment as Chair of Composition and Theory at the University of Akron School of Music (2000-2014). He became increasingly interested in his relationships with performers, writing music tailored to their virtuosic abilities and musical personalities (Barrick Stees, The Cleveland Orchestra, the Avalon, Harrington, and Arianna String Quartets, U.S. Marine Corps. Tuba/Euphonium Quartet, Timothy McAllister, Northwestern University, Joseph Lulloff, Michigan State University, Michael Burritt, The Eastman School of Music, among others). His compositional style generated music that was uniquely American and unique to himself as a boy who grew up in rural northern Michigan. This resulted in music that reflected McCarthy's adolescent persona such as "Turn the Page" for electric guitar and orchestra (based on a guitar solo played by Jimmy page from the rock group Led Zeppelin), and "Chamber Symphony No. 4 for Saxophone and Winds" inspired by the music of the funk group Tower of Power. This period of creativity fostered McCarthy's general philosophy of anti-elitism in arts and culture and an aversion to academe; hence, the atypical combination of his occupation of composer and martial artist.
