This peaceful composition was written for a string quartet and oboe. The inspirations for this piece are the mountains of Colorado and the rest that being in creation can bring. This recording was done at the Bob Jones University Student Composition Recital in December, 2018

Mountains

"An Immigrant's Story" is the first movement of a multi movement work. This piece shows the emotions, relationships, and hardships an immigrant faced in history and still faces today. This first movement shows the excitement and pride of arriving in America. But, it also shows the conflicted feeling of leaving home behind.

This is dedicated to those who risked it all to make a better world.

This track as written in one day. It is a story about hope and peace

Hope

I have found that even in the craziest situations life can throw at me, hope is still there. Hope usually isn’t as loud or attention grabbing as the hardship seems but it is there. I have always seen hope as a quiet yet constant thing that is always there lighting my way. Sometimes it is only bright enough to show me my next step, but it is always there.

A Quiet Hope

This is an orchestral variation of one of my favorite African-American Spirituals "Were You There." I completed this arrangement as part of my final project for an orchestration class I was in.

Were You There

This track was written for submission to ThinkSpace Education. The criteria were thirty seconds of "suspense" followed by thirty seconds of "action" finishing in a climax.
