COMPOSITIONS

I primarily write vocal and chamber music and am beginning to set my own poetry. Below is an academic/technical sample of my work, a short fugue after the style of Bach. My personal style is demonstrated in the two following choral settings of poetry. I am particularly interested in using rhythmic structure and unconventional voice leading to create novel soundscapes.

Sample: Fugue in c minor
