Recent Works
Windswept
The word “windswept” might imply being blown by the wind, either flowing freely and relaxed or being thrown violently through gusts and bursts. In this march, the contrast between the interpretations is explored; the traditionally militaristic, bombastic, raucous character of a march while being contrasted by several free and relaxed, yet bittersweet melodies.
Premiere performance of “Windswept” by the USC Thornton Clarinet Choir on April 25th, 2025 directed by Professor Sharon Lavery.
Sketches of Reckoning
The prospect that anything beautiful can become bitter in an instant is frightening. And coming to acceptance isn’t easy. “Sketches of Reckoning” portrays elegance, wistfulness, naivety, conflict, and anguish. Reckoning, if you will.
Performance of “Sketches of Reckoning” on May 13th, 2025 for the Freshmen Class of 28’ Composition Final Recital.
