He has written many compositions for organ plus solo instrument, organ plus a small ensemble, and even organ with a combination of other instruments and electronic tape. Corliss Arnold mentions Pinkham's two Concertantes as being significant; these pieces are works written for larger ensembles with organ. According to Oxford Music Online, Pinkham was influenced by church modes, Hindemith and Stravinsky, 16th-century counterpoint, and 17th-century forms.
