Large Ensemble
Into the Unknown
Concert band, 2019
​
Written for the DYWE/OLLI Composition Competition, Into the Unknown explores the human condition of curiosity and wanting to know more. However, this sometimes comes with a cost. Where do you draw the line between 'heavily informed' and 'knowing too much?' Be careful what you wish for, because sometimes knowledge is dangerous.
​
Runaway Sleigh
Concert band, 2020
​
Contrasting the light-hearted sleigh ride we all know and love, this piece is an exciting fast-paced ride through the tundra filled with some interesting meter changes and a few surprises. Sit back, and hang on!
​
Reflections on a Lifetime
Concert band, 2020
During my time in college, I have been able to learn so much not only about my career but myself. Since graduation, I have been reflecting more about who I am and realized how much I've grown in only 4 years. I would not be where I am without the people around me, so thank you everyone.
​
Alma Mater
Concert band, 2021
​
Back in 2016, I wrote a piece titled "Alma Mater" as a sendoff of sorts for me going away to college. During the last year of my undergrad, I decided to revisit and revise it as a way of seeing how my writing skills have developed. This is the final result.

re:Discovery
Orchestra, 2022
​
Life moves fast, so be prepared to learn a lot in a short period of time. The roots of this piece come from being stuck at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. What started as a short piano idea soon developed into a full orchestral piece. Not quite a concerto, but the incorporation of the piano plays an important role in direction of the music
​
Subway Creatures
Orchestra, 2022
​
As I travel around the city I noticed that some of the trains have a musical quality to them when leaving the station. Sometimes inspiration comes when you least expect it. Written as part of a graduate school assignment to score the opening credits of a psychodrama thriller.
​
Chamber Ensemble
Fitzrovia Fanfare
Brass ensemble, 2019
​
In the winter of 2019, I studied abroad in London for a semester. Named after the district where I was housed, I wanted to compose a regal piece for brass band.
​
kəˈpasədē
Piano / bassoon / double bass, 2019
​
Written as a commission for two of my friends to be performed at their respective senior recitals in college.
​
Cherry Blossoms
String quartet, 2023
​
During my first year of graduate school, I took a recording class and got the experience to work with the ETHEL string quartet. I wanted this piece to be reminiscent of sitting in the shade on a cool spring day.
​
Solo Piano
Senior Year
Piano suite, 2019/2020
​
As I was finishing up my final year at the University of Delaware, I wanted to write some short pieces for piano that represented my journey from beginning to the end of the semester
​
Rain
Piano solo, 2020
​
This piece started out as a challenge to write something that has a continuous pulse and developed into a technical challenge of moving the melody across the keyboard
​
Little Dance
Piano solo, 2022
​
I wanted to write a piece that's akin to a dancer gracefully moving across a stage. The music came from a highly emotional moment in my life and can be compared to me figuring out my path
