Cautionary Forest

Bring It Home written by Desiree Robinson and performed by Desiree Robinson (Clarinet), Scott Havener (Cello), and Gil Anfone (Marimba) for "An Array of Songs and Compositions" for Desiree Robinson's Senior Composition Recital in New Orleans at Loyola University New Orleans, Nunemaker Auditorium in October 2017.

Bring It Home

This is a piece that I composed to be my high school senior project. The instrumentation consists of five Bb bass clarinet parts, one Bb contra-bass clarinet part, and one alto saxophone part. If you would like to hear the entire piece or would like a copy of the full score contact me at DesireeAurona@gmail.com so I can see if an arrangement can be made.

The Tide's Song

This piece was written to make the listener feel like they are being brought to a new place, both mentally and physically. This track was featured on Loyola University New Orleans Songwriter's Anonymous CD in fall of 2015. I began writing it while I was in high school and I'm just getting around to finishing it.

Gravity Pulls

This piece is about having to come back to the same issue or doubt, but every time you return, you view it differently. Eventually, you see all the progress you have made with what it was. This is a live recording from spring of 2016 at Loyola University New Orleans.

Progress

This track is the first movement of "The Continuum," a multi-movement piece for solo piano performed by yours truly on October 13th, 2016 in New Orleans, LA USA. "The Continuum" focuses on the duality of D major and D minor and highlights using the same shape.

The Continuum Mvt. 1

As a young adult, living away from all that you know- your family, friends, school, state, culture- and on your own for the first time brings about a lot. You grow and learn so much simply because you have to. When I did this, I had an opportunity to grow into my faith as a woman of God and experience California, a place I had never been before. This song is an homage to my time there. Here I am singing and playing my song, "By Myself" as part of "An Array of Songs and Compositions" for my Senior Composition Recital in New Orleans at Loyola University New Orleans, Nunemaker Auditorium in October 2017.

By Myself

I have a degree in music composition and I love writing many different forms of music. I have a background in clarinet, bass clarinet, gospel choir, worship team, and piano.
