If You Will Have Me

A parent's love for a child can take many forms: encouragement, understanding, even advocacy. But perhaps there is no greater manifestation of that bond than the idea that a parent can be a protector, allowing a child to fully experience all life has to offer, both its highs and its lows. The embrace of those challenges, surprises, and rewards is what makes up the journey of life itself. This poem is a gorgeous evocation of that truth and provided great inspiration for this piece

Cottonwood Falls draws its inspiration from the Great Plains of Oklahoma, and Kansas' Flint Hills. A faster, rhythmically active theme depicts the myriad wildflowers and teeming wildlife in this landscape. Contrasting against this is a longer, more legato theme which invokes the rolling, expansive prairie and wide, starry skies of the country.

Southern Music - Grade 2
Take a musical stroll through the Scottish highlands with this picturesque selection. This overture is based on an original melody with a Scottish-sounding flair. It opens in a lively and articulated style, based loosely in the Dorian mode. The slower middle section features a flowing horn solo, followed by a return to the opening material that marches the music forward to its rousing Celtic conclusion.

Scottish Highland Overture by Nathan Jones

W.B. Yeats' beautiful text is paired with an uncomplicated two-part melodic line, accompanied by piano. The Mount Holyoke College Glee Club premiered this piece March 24, 2018, under the direction of Dr. Stephanie L. Council, in South Hadley, MA.

Cloths of Heaven

A work for more advanced choirs, Be for Me the Earth incorporates the beautiful poetry of Sara Teasdale in this a cappella setting. Largely homophonic, this work allows your choir to explore tone, balance and harmonic movement. A wonderful rise and fall throughout and a climactic and thoughtful ending.

Be for Me the Earth

Edna St. Vincent Millay's poem creates a very strong emotional response in me of pure joy. There are few works of art that cut so directly to my emotional core. My setting of this wonderful text seeks to convey this sense of carefree, almost reckless, undistilled happiness with both rhythmic vitality and lyric intimacy.

​This piece was commissioned and premiered by Dr. Stephanie L. Council and the Mount Holyoke Glee Club.

Afternoon on a Hill

A New Benediction is the anthem chosen by Westminster Choir College for the Graduating Class Anthem of the Class of 2009. I wrote this anthem using the same text as the Peter Lutkin Benediction that is the unofficial school song of Westminster Choir College.
