I Am With You

This piece for SATB chorus and orchestra was commissioned by LaGrange College for its annual lessons and carols service in 2007. The text was adapted from Isaiah 41:10. It’s a prime example of the simplicity of form, text, and musical gesture all working together.

 John 1

This piece for soprano solo, SATB chorus, and orchestra was commissioned by Eastminster Presbyterian Church for its first annual Christmas concert in 2015. It’s a setting of the first half of John 1. The piece set the tone for the December concert series as the minister preached his Christmas Eve sermon from the same text.

Lessons and Carols (excerpts)

The lessons and carols service is rooted in the Anglican tradition. Essentially, a carol follows each passage of scripture recounting the Christmas story. LaGrange College commissioned several pieces for their annual lessons and carols service in 2007.

O Magnum Mysterium

This piece for SATB chorus was originally scored for SATB chorus and orchestra and later adapted for SATB chorus and cello. It’s a prime example of music that works well for a sacred concert, worship service, or dedicatory event.

Sing a New Song

This joyful piece for SATB chorus and orchestra was commissioned by LaGrange College for its Spring concert in 2007. Sadly, the tragic Virginia Tech shooting took place just before the concert. This piece brought a little hope to an audience who desperately needed it.
