“One of my favorites. I sing it all the time!”
Commission me to write something new!
Every ensemble is different, and your music should reflect that. When you commission a piece from me, you're getting music that focuses on accessibility without sacrificing substance—my pieces are engaging to rehearse, satisfying to perform, and tailored to meet your ensemble where they are.
I’ll work closely with you to shape the music around your needs: custom ranges, flexible parts, narrative-driven writing, and whatever else brings the most out of your players. From first-year students to seasoned pros, I’m committed to making music that’s playable, personal, and powerful.
