Listerine

This is one of the better songs in a series of instrumental sketches I have been working on lately. 

I could put a melodramatic name here but I call this Sketch 6

My final project for my junior year of music industry school. Thanks to Drew Tate, Roman Purshaga, John Osborn, and Evangel university for making this possible.

Heaven Come

As a concept, I arranged several Beatles songs for a variety of genres depending on what the specific song made me feel.  "If I Fell" has a lot of chromatic movement in the intro while at the same time having a sweet and tonally diatonic refrain. I simply couldn't resist the opportunity. Additionally the inverted 7th chords make the song feel rich and bright. This is simply my interpretation.

If I Fell

When writing this cover, I considered the darker tone of the lyrics juxtaposed against the strings (which is a masterpiece). Considering another angle though, I think the lyrics are as relevant today as they were in the 60's so I modernized the sound and tried to make the piece more attractive to a modern audience. Not trying to fill the Beatles shoes, simply tying the laces another way.

Eleanore Rigby

This piece is an original composition. I wrote this Kyrie as a part of the Evangel Composer's Collective. The piece is written for SSSAATTBB but should be performed by a group of no more than a dozen singers. The doubled parts are in the alto and bass/baritone parts.
