Compositions

Throughout my life I’ve been a teacher first, and a composer second. Many of my compositions reflect this, being intentionally easy to learn while still making quite an impact with a strong performance. I have many progressive choral and piano pieces to help musicians develop their skills or work on difficult techniques.

I’ve spent a lot of time working with community and high school choirs, often with members across a huge spectrum of skills and musical knowledge which can be difficult for a director to program pieces for. Because of this I strive to write pieces and exercises that actively help a choir grow in their musicality together, and many pieces also have an additional notated version to help interested individuals learn music theory or general musical knowledge.

I primarily compose in minimalist, post-minimalist, and contemporary styles. My influences include Arvo Pärt, Henryk Górecki, Philip Glass, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Thomas Tallis, Howard Skempton, and Federico Mompou. 

I don’t believe in charging for my sheet music, so it is all offered here for free. That said, I very much appreciate donations if you’ve been enjoying my pieces.
