Bear away is a sailing term that means to steer the boat away from the wind. When I think of that term it makes me think of the end of a trying time. The gradual release of energy that leaves you tired. But in a nice way.

Changing Seasons

My composition assignment for 4th year semester 1. It's 1 continuous piece for full orchestra broken into 7 different sections and 3 different subsections. Each section is based off of one character from Alladin and rather than telling the story through music I wanted to describe the characters and their individual back stories through the music, I worked very hard on this for a long time so any feedback would be really appreciated! The characters I chose are 1) Alladin 2) Jasmine 3) Jafar 4) The Genie 5) The Cave of Wonders 6) Abu and 7) The Magic Carpet.  They are paired into subsections as follows 1) Alladin and Jasmine 2) Jafar,Genie and Cave of Wonders and 3) Abu and The Magic Carpet

Aladdin, Life of a Street Rat

Something I wrote which developed into somehow being about Christmas in my house with team rocket, so that's what this is about now even though it doesn't make sense <3

Christmas at John's Avenue

Myself and Adam Cullen Stafford's version of Zelda's Lullaby from The Legend of Zelda. We decided it would be more fun as a jazz waltz. Recorded with us on the couch and my phone on the kitchen counter <3 (Just so you know)

Zelda's lullaby

I wrote/recorded this back in January around the time of my niece Haylee's 9th birthday.

Haylee's Song

I wrote this piece a few months ago, I was growing giant lilies on my window sill. It's about how the lilies spend so long reaching maturity and then the flower doesn't last very long so its bittersweet

Lily Bloom

I FINALLY got some decent sounding software so I've just been writing and writing. I've been looking for inspiration literally everywhere so this is meant to be the way the sky changes, night to day, storm louds etc and thenalways one little beam of sunlight breaks it up and so on

In The Sky

I imagine this piece as a really early morning walk this time of year, when the sun's just up. Walking around the city as everything comes to life, then the weather turns and you drag yourself home. Just back inside as the last drops of water fall off your clothes
