The Jabberwocky (2014)- (4 min.) Baritone voice solo with the text from Lewis Carroll’s poem via the “Alice in Wonderland” series. The song features a very fast, active piano accompaniment that could be considered a solo within itself.

The theme initially begins in larghetto, then subsequently moves to adagio, andante, moderato, allegretto, allegro, slows down to a heavy grave and then closes with a repetition of the theme in allegro assai.

Electro Baroque (2013)- (6 min.) Harpsichord and organ with orchestral and synth backing notated in Finale then mastered in FL Studio.
