April Elegy For Solo Piano

This is a sample of music for The - Wife at the Chrysalis Showcase at Neptune Theatre in 2019. The whispering voices were recorded and edited by June Zinck, the sound designer for that production. To create a sense of oppressive and overwhelming nationalism, I juxtaposed the whispers June created with music I composed, my own recordings of American patriotic songs, and an archival recording of a German nationalist song from WW2.

The - Wife Cacophony Propaganda Whispers

This is a sample of music I composed and arranged for Saltwater Moon at Neptune Theatre in 2018. This music for the final scene of the play incorporates my own composition along with musical quotations from the folksong melody of the Newfoundland Love Song that appears in the play. All instrumental parts are performed by me, except for the cello solo, which was played by Kerrianne Ryan.
