The Tempest

Time

“Omnireflectional” takes a new direction than other works I have composed. While pieces premiered in the past have been composed under the influence of one composition instructor, this piece was composed under two, Mark Harbold and David DeVasto. Studying under both of them, I was able to take both of their compositional approaches and have them influence the piece. Latitude 49 performed it live.

Omnireflectional — performed by Latitude 49 (2015)

lyrics --

The moon she was close enough to peer back at our faces,
purple lips, wide eyes, stomachs twisted
you step carefully, I get mud on my shoelaces
if you would ask me what Nirvana was, I would say this
two out of place human beings staring up 
at what should have been their home
Fucked up on something or other,
feeling that this is better than ever being alone

And I wonder if the flowers will come back
and I wonder if the stars will turn on again,
and I wonder if the flowers can come back to me, my friend

Our great nation could fall apart like '29,
I'm convinced that we would be okay
I don't need anything if I am yours and you are mine
at the end of every day
So I'll keep replaying the crash inside my head,
let it burn into each fold inside my brain
like a stray ember from a lit cigarette reminding me
that I put out the flame

I miss when we were better versions of ourselves,
can we go back to being better versions of ourselves?

my cigarette is reaching gold but I am not quite through,
each body needs a hand to hold and my hand belongs to you
I'll stay here till the sky starts falling
I couldn't part from you if I tried

so I wonder if the flowers will come back,
and I wonder if the stars will turn on again
and I wonder if the flowers can come back,
come back to me, my friend

(Original song by Melanie A. Davis)

Swing More! music demo "Trailer Video"

Compromise! was written for Doug Droste and premiered by the Muncie Symphony Orchestra in 2017.  For many, the word ‘compromise’ indicates weakness or lack of principle, but this is a dangerous position. Our (U.S.) politicians will need to relearn how to compromise in order to find reasonable solutions and move our country in the right direction.
