Ending Titles

I orchestrated this piece based on a "bum bum bum" melody performed by Trevor Moore playing the title role in a comedy sketch entitled "John Williams" by The Whitest Kids You Know #WKUK. Here is a link to the video: https://youtu.be/NJ-YpADa-KQ?t=375

What John Williams Hears

One baby worth saving from all this bathwater...

Through the Earth

Where The Moving Walkway Ends

A hybrid holiday song I wrote for my choir...and for my parents. (Shhhh...don't tell them! It's a Christmanukkah present!)

Christmanukkah

A single-verse song, repeated four times, each ending with one of the dreidel letters, נ (Nun), ג (Gimmel), ה (Hey), and ש (Shin). The song definitely sounds better when you clap along to the beat (1, 2, 3, 4...), and even better when you sing along!

LYRICS:

I'm here to tell you, one and all, that life is like a dreidel
It takes you for a spin and, if you're lucky, you come out on top
One moment you're as cozy as a baby in a cradle
The next you're on a carousel that never seems to stop

You're keeping busy, getting dizzy, swaying like a hurricane
Until the end, you're in a frenzy, teetering and turning

I'm here to tell once again that life is like a dreidel
Reminding us of miracles and simple fun

And we go round, and round, and round, and round
And round until we drop 
[Nun! Gimmel! Hey! Shin!]

Life is Like a Dreidel

For my one, true, and forever love, Veni.

Veni's Theme

I am a composer of original music for stage and screen. I love to collaborate on forward-thinking projects, particularly with themes of inclusivity and non-selective compassion (vegan). I am powerfully moved by the music of the Romani people, Romantic-era composers, choral music, Middle Eastern, Northern African, and classical Indian. I love the works of Chopin, especially his nocturnes for their delightful ornamentation and range of colours. I love Tchaikovsky for the same reasons and also for his incredible orchestrations. I love Thomas Newman for his dynamic textures and the humility in his piano lines. I love Nick Drake for his invitational delivery and the brilliance of his lyrics, melodies, and rhythms.
