Today I present my original composition, THE RINGS OF SATURN.  I completed this piece in 2018 and scored it for synthesizers.  Below is a screenshot of the title page from the autograph score:


I composed this music as a Christmas gift for my family.  Given its unearthly sound, I felt a title such as that on which I settled was fitting.

Today I present my original composition, MOTHER AND CHILD.  I completed this piece in 2020 and scored it for soprano (mother), soprano (child), and piano.  Below is a screenshot of the title page from the autograph score:


As one who lost Mother early in life, the subject of this most special relationship has always been of heightened importance for me.  While my own memories of Mother are precious and few, I hope that those who listen while reading my father’s inspired words will find renewed appreciation for she who bore thee.
