About
I'm a composer who specializes in programmatic orchestral music. While my pieces can stand on their own, their emphasis on mood and reliance on narrative makes my style especially suitable for media scoring and other collaborative ventures.
Music
In my ten+ years of composing, I have explored a wide variety of styles and techniques. My ever-growing body of works is primarily orchestral in instrumentation but extends into other ensemble sizes and types as well.
Collaborations
I have had fantastic opportunities to work with all kinds of talented creators. Whether these collaborations were paid, paying, or voluntary, each experience has garnered wonderful memories and valuable personal and professional growth.

Duration: ca. 5.5 minutes
Instrumentation: Violin and Violoncello
For Holy Week 2023, I wrote three organ voluntaries that became my "Triduum in Three Movements". This piece is an expanded version of the "Good Friday" middle movement, arranged for violin and cello. A deeply emotive work drawing from the likes of Barber's Adagio for Strings and Elgar's Nimrod, this composition seeks to tap into the depths of the soul the love and loss many felt and still feel to this day for Christ's crucifixion.
Dedicated to Andrew Messersmith and his fiancée Addison Darby, the musicians who asked for and premiered the piece.
