Daniel and the Great Solstice

Instrumental beat in the style of Kendrick Lamar, Baby Keem, JID,... includes a beat switch/key change. Intro (soul section) uses a free vocal sample, all other instrumentation was played in by Mercilus, so the beat doesn't have to be cleared. Contact me if you wanna collab.

EVERYTHING - INSTRUMENTAL RAP/TRAP IN THE STYLE OF BABY KEEM/KENDRICK LAMAR

This is "Alba," an original piece I composed and orchestrated for a 26-piece chamber orchestra.

Instrumentation: Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, 2 Tenor Trombones, Bass Trombone, Tuba, Glockenspiel, Harp, 4 Violins I, 3 Violins II, 2 Violas, 2 Cello, Contrabass.

As I composed "Alba," I imagined a somber dawn washing over a mystical valley, as a nomad sets on a journey for redemption. The title, coming from the Italian and Spanish word for "dawn," perfectly captures the essence of this piece.

Alba

Light in the Darkness, commissioned by and dedicated to Dr. Mary Breden, sets the Christmas poem “Light in the Darkness” by poet Norval Clyne (1817-1888). The bright and bell-like piano accompaniment, although sometimes also quiet and pensive, reflects the simultaneous darkness of winter and the shining hope that the Savior’s birth brings the world on Christmas morning. Steadily building in intensity throughout the piece, the choir proclaims the coming great Light that is about to shine. The piece also features surprising modal shifts, harmonic progressions, and modulations.

The piece was premiered by the LMU Concert Choir, conducted by Dr. Mary Breden, on December 6th and 8th, 2018 at Sacred Heart Chapel at Loyola Marymount University.

Conductor: Dr. Mary Breden
Choir: Loyola Marymount University Concert Choir
