Chamber Ensembles
Yossarian
Yossarian is a character piece based on the protagonist of the novel Catch 22. Throughout the novel he struggles to keep his moral high while battling with the despicable sights of WWII.
Frog and Toad
Frog and Toad is based on the children's book of the same name. I always found this book series so delightful as a child and I wanted to capture the joy within these books in a piece of mine.
Tzuhp
Tzuhp is a love letter to brass. A piece that highlights the power that brass brings and how they can skillfully switch between devastating beautiful to enormously powerful.
Tomato Rain
Tomato Rain is an homage to three styles that I find particularly influential: Jazz, Latin, and the classical forms.
Song of the Lark
The Song of the Lark is a piece inspired by the painting of the same name. The painting depicts a woman in the fields at sunset/sunrise in her work clothes.
