A setting of the Agnus Dei (with the tract from Sexagesimae (“Sana contritiones ejus”)). 

SATB divisi with soprano soloist.

Agnus Dei, for SATB divisi

Waltz for Piano

This was the first piece I've written in about a year. A little showpiece based on 3 notes, and featuring fast, repeated notes. For solo piano.

Toccata for Piano

This is a set of 8 preludes composed 2020 - 2022. These little pieces were fun to write, and deliberately cover a wide range of styles and expressive intents. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed writing them.

Preludes for Piano

Violin Sonata (2022)

Found this in some old papers at my parents' house. I wrote this in high school, before I had studied counterpoint formally... so the contrapuntal errors are too many to count, and there are far too many "stops and starts", and the use of sequences is a bit of a face palm today... but I was in love with the idea of fugue and with the sound of the instrument... this was an early attempt at writing a "big" piece!

Organ Fugue (1989)

A short one movement sonata for flute and piano

Sonata for Flute and Piano

No Darkness At All

String Quartet #1

A short, lyrical piece for viola and piano, using chant-like melody and "mechanistic" textures and procedures.

Ignis - for Viola and Piano

Composed in 2021. A work in three parts for organ.

1. Dialogue: a trumpet tune masquerading sometimes as a trio sonata, with minimalist-inspired textures. Exploring contrasting voices and registers of the instrument.

2. Chanson: a lyrical pedal solo wrapped in a warm, lush string celeste

3. Carillon Toccata: a virtuoso piece exploring the sonorities of big bells and the power of the pipe organ.
