Orchestra
Renascent (2022) - Chamber Orchestra

Portrait d'une Femme (2016) - Mezzo Soprano and Orchestra
   Winner of the 2016-17 University of Wisconsin-Madison Symphony Showcase (Composition Category), this piece is based upon the poem of the same name by Ezra Pound. Featuring Jessica Kasinski, mezzo-soprano, and Kyle Knox, conductor, with the UW-Madison Symphony.
    The work swirls about like the thoughts in the speaker of the poem's head. The subject of identity is explored, as the central figure in the poem grasps with reconciling that their identity is both compromised of everyone they have every met, while also uniquely being their own because of these amalgamations.

Doubt (2015) - Mezzo Soprano and Orchestra
   Based on an original text by the composer, this work traverses through a myriad of colors and moods, all while ruminating on the nature of doubt. Intensely personal and autobiographical, this work allows for unique interplay between the singer and orchestra.          (Recording from a workshop session)

Brass Choir

Monolith (2016) -   For double brass choir and percussion, “Monolith” is a fanfare that is all about giant blocks of sound. Each block of sound is meant to be a different mountain thrusting up from the earth, sometimes with more mountains breaking through the previous ones. The momentum provided by the more rapid moving lines represent the magic that dances while   pulling these mountains from the earth. There is extended use of polytonality throughout the fanfare, as well as some stereo effects.
