April Rain song is a piece I've been working on for a while now. This is a generated MP3 from finale, so it's not exactly kick ass. If you found this at all interesting, feel free to check out the sheet music over at waitbachup.wordpress.com. Hope you enjoy!

April Rain

This piece for SATB accompanied chorus is more recent and sticks to a more conventional song structure. Nothing too fancy or wild here, just commitment to expressing the poem in a new light. To view its full profile, please visit waitbachup.wordpress.com. Hope you enjoy!

A Farewell

This is the first time one of my pieces was ever performed. It took lots of work and determination for all parties involved and I am so proud of what we accomplished. To see the full write-up and in-depth explanations of the piece please visit waitbachup.wordpress.com! 

The Macbeth Sketches

I do not own this piece of music! I don't even half-own it because science... or something like that. Anyway, to check out the full song profile + some sheet music at waitbachup.wordpress.com.

Arr. Hide And Seek by Imogen Heap

This piece I actually wrote as an (as yet unfinished) homage to the best summer camp in the world: Camp Takodah. I learned so much there and I had to find a way to give back, even if it was small like this. Hope you guys enjoy! For the full song profile and sheet music check out waitbachup.wordpress.com!

White Birch Candles

This piece follows a similar track to White Birch Candles, but this piece was actually inspired by the music of Les Miserables. It's not finished yet, but I'm feeling a little stuck so I decided to send it out to the world to see if any of you had ideas. As always, hope you enjoy and to check out the full song profile + sheet music go to waitbachup.wordpress.com! 

Flowing River

This is a bunch of ideas tied together that all center around the idea of "following." I chose the title Joy because of the many manifestations in which joy appears. There is fierce joy, fleeting joy, flowering joy, and Alegria. This was a fun one to write and I hope you guys enjoy it! For the entire song profile + sheet music check out waitbachup.wordpress.com!

This project began in March with a poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson entitled A Farewell. It immediately struck me as lyrical and so I attempted to put it to music. What came out was a series of musical sketches – the piano’s melody at the beginning and the multilayered “Flow” section, to name a couple – but nothing especially cohesive. When it came time to do this project, this piece floated to the top of my mind and I decided to not only finish and arrange the choral project, but to try to add something to it through the use of technology. 
Hope you enjoy--

A Farewell - Redone

This is an assignement for class. It was fun to make, but I'm interested in finding ways of making cleaner recordings or making sounds clearer once they're recorded. If you have any recommendations, please let me know!
