Solo Instrument

Based on a couple hymns, Rising lifts through different key signatures and moves through tonalities in order to create a rising feeling.
Humming Memories (2021) - for solo euphonium with piano accompaniment - ca. 8:30
My first brass solo was a challenge for me personally, both as a composer and a performer. I was inspired by my time as a euphonium player. I had recent negative experiences with the instrument, and this piece helped me look back at the positive memories while playing the euphonium.
Warming Up (2023) - For solo viola - ca. 3 minutes
Written while attending the Wizarding School for Composers, Warming Up is a solo viola work inspired by the sounds and techniques I had heard before an Orchestra rehearsal.

The Tales of a Hero (2023) - for Pierrot Ensemble and Percussion (Vibraphone and Marimba) - ca. 8:15
A piece written for the Women Composer's Festival of Hartford, The Tales of a Hero is inspired by several relaxing pieces that I had heard from favorite video games I had played growing up.
This piece starts off slow and reminiscent, exploring the different soundscapes that the Pierrot Ensemble can create. Halfway through, the work speeds up, reflecting a change to take on more challenges. Being very rhythmic and engaging, The Tales of a Hero ends in a very exciting manner.
The First performance was on June 8th, 2024 by the San Marcos Artists Retention and Training Orchestra in their Composers Recital.

When Cold Turns Warm (2019) for Fixed Media and three horns - 6:12
The first electronic piece I have written, this piece was an exploration of different sounds on Logic Pro and how to write a fixed piece with live elements.
