They are fantastic players. Also, they were extremely helpful and supportive of myself and the other young composers involved in the recording session.

John Glynn - Horn
Oliver Glynn - Piano

'One of my earliest introductions to composition was writing short pieces for my father and I to play. The voice of the horn has remained an influence throughout my writing. "Atticus Toast" is referring to the character Atticus Finch from Haper Lee's novel To Kill a Mockingbird. Although I am sure Atticus would enjoy some toast, I am using the word as a verb not as a food.'

'This piece is an exploration of how the world and our thoughts often change at night. Sometimes it fills us with calm, or anticipation, or turmoil. Occasionally we are awe-inspired to see the world blanketed in stars.'

Nighttime Search (October 2017 performance)

This recording is from a performance in UNCSA's Watson Hall on October 28, 2017.
originally composed by George Gershwin (1898 – 1937)

Rhapsody in Blue (1924)was one of the first pieces of music that really inspired me. I made this reduction, threw in some improvised sections, and thanks to the musicians listed below I was able to perform it on my undergraduate senior recital. It's by no measure a spotless recording, but I had a lot of fun putting it together. 

Violin - Eva Wetsel
Cello - Jewel Kim
Bass - Victor Stahoviak
Piano - Oliver Glynn
Baritone Sax - Timothy Bachman
Tenor Sax - Edward Huynh
Alto Sax - Jordan Savage
Soprano Sax - Andrew Hasher
