Holiday Music
The Holly and the Ivy Grade Level 4
SATB, 3'30"; 2017

Gloria Grade Level 6

Sacred Music
Prayer to the Holy Trinity Grade Level 4
SATB and Organ, 5'20"; 2017
Inspired and adapted from St. Nerses the Graceful, this text by Randall R. Warren beautifully moves through moments of piety, supplication, and jubilation. The music correspondingly alternates between chant-like passages and joyous homophony.
Remember Me Grade Level 4
SATB, 2'30"; 2011
This communion hymn uses a text inspired by the familiar communion passage found in Matthew 26. After a contemplative opening with the traditional text, the melody soars to a lush prayer for remembrance.
[ɑ] Grade Level 6
SSAATTBB, 4'30"; 2008
This piece for advanced choir explores philosopher and theologian Paul Tillich's method of correlation, in which the symbols of Christian revelation serve as answers to the problems raised by the questions of human existence. The piece begins thick and atonal, but slowly becomes more clear as the piece progresses.
Secular Music
The End Is Where We Start From Grade Level 4
SATB and Piano, 2'40"; 2015
The text of this piece, by T. S. Eliot, speaks of beginnings and endings and their circular relationship. Musically, this is mimicked through palindromes, both on small and large scales. An ancient feel permeates the piece through the use of open fifths.
There Is Another Sky Grade Level 4
SATB and Piano, 2'00"; 2011
This simple piece uses a whimsical text by Emily Dickenson, set with soaring melodies and piano accompaniment.
A Free Man's Worship Grade Level 5
SSAATTBB, 5'00"; 2015
This piece explores humankind's existential despair through the work of Bertrand Russell's "A Free Man's Worship." The music correspondingly moves through moments of bleak melancholy and joyful triumph. This piece contrasts nicely with any piece espousing the joy of eternity. A Free Man's Worship was a finalist in the 2015 Kromátika International Competition of Choral Composition.
The Mystery of Love Grade Level 5
SSAATTBB, 3'00"; 2011
Utilizing text from Oscar Wilde's Salome, this piece explores the psyche of deranged, obsessive love. Chromatic sighing gestures are interspersed with homophonic bursts of passion.
Look Back On Time Grade Level 5
SSAATTBB and Viola, 6'00"; 2017
This melancholy piece sets two texts by Emily Dickenson to honor the life of one who has passed. Hauntingly beautiful viola lines are interspersed between reflective choral moments throughout the work.
Star Death Grade Level 5
Mass Choir and Orchestra, 30'00"; 2013-2014
Star Death is intended to be a companion piece to Gustav Holst's The Planets in the fashion of a short oratorio. Star Death is much more of a choral feature, and also calls for baritone and soprano soloists. This piece follows the life cycle of a star from nebula to black hole, and served as my dissertation piece, which passed with honors. With soaring melodies, energetic chanting, and a healthy dose of other-worldly octatonicism, Star Death will be a delight for both your performers and your audience.
