Original Compositions

Concert Repertoire

  • Woodwind Quintet no.1 (2015)- (10 min.) 3 movements, moderato, adagio and largo molto grave offering rich atonal and semi-tonal harmonies.

  • 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.

  • VI Variations on a Theme (2013)– (6 ½ min.) Piano solo that showcases six variations on a 23 measure theme. 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.

Electronic Works

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

  • Arabian Desert (2010)- (3 ½ min.) Electroacoustic track featuring solo zampona (panflute), Native American flute, and mandolin with metal drum set, guitar and synths.
