Hartford High School

Piece for the Farmer's Night VSO performance in the Vermont Statehouse 

This is a sort of lullaby, written for two mallet players to share one instrument (it is possible for one player, but probably not fun). The piece is intended for Vibraphone, and works well on Marimba.

This piece is intended for my High School Chamber choir, for a winter performance. Written for SSAATB, a capella. The lyrics are about how each day is a blessing, and an opportunity to restart and to grow.

A composition from the Music Comp summer workshop. 

Fast-paced piece for symphonic band

A piece for the Green Mountain Youth Symphony.

This lively piece strays from the usual harmonic and melodic structure of string quartets by quoting the styles of mallet percussion ensemble music, with part crossings between the registers of the instruments and interesting polyrhythm patterns. The musical texture is shaped by contrasts in articulations and dynamics, and features effects specific to the string family, such as pizzicato, harmonics, and double-stops.
