This piece captures a comedic outlook of the everyday stressors of living in or commuting in a city from the aggravation from getting stuck in traffic to being held up by pedestrians. I encourage listeners to follow the travels of two rushed drivers attempting to
make their way through the city noise.

Follow the Omens tells the story of a huntress lost in a forest. The forest is beautiful, but dense filled with all sorts of peculiar creatures, rustling sounds, earthy smells, and lush natural scenes.
There are no obvious trails out of the forest and the huntress fears she might never find her way back home. She finds herself running away from anonymous threats, the startling sounds of things she cannot see and relies on signs the forests gives her to bring her to safety. One might imagine the end of this piece as arriving at the edge of cliff to a striking view, the presence cozy cabin, or a humble village. Ultimately, the forest guides the huntress home.

Follow the Omens

Flute Ensemble

Format

Inspired by poem "Still I Rise" by Maya Angelou:

You may write me down in history 
With your bitter, twisted lies, 
You may trod me in the very dirt 
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you? 
Why are you beset with gloom? 
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells 
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns, 
With the certainty of tides, 
Just like hopes springing high, 
Still I'll rise. (excerpt)

And Yet, She Persisted: A Story of Resilience

Concert Band Score & Parts

This piece is a celebration of my heritage and ancestry. By incorporating
  aspects of Palo music in a traditionally Euro-centric style of music I hope
  to expand the boundaries for what is possible in contemporary classical music
  as it reflects the eclectic collage of where I come from. I hope to
  specifically illuminate the underrepresented aspects of my identity in
  composition as it is those aspects that can create uniqueness and innovation
  in the long history and tradition classical music.
    
    Performing my music is a rebellious act. Centuries of composers have been
  misguided to dismiss the study of complex rhythm and groove as it is a
  subject associated with the music of Africa. Now with time and exhaustion of
  European principles we must look to the countries of Africa with reverence
  for our missing education on one of the vital ingredients of music. I hope
  you enjoy the kaleidoscope of colors and weaved rhythms that come together to
  make this piece come alive! This piece is dedicated to all the ancestors that
  came before me. May I honor their lives with music.

Roots

Full Orchestra Score & Parts

Daydream on a windy day. Peer into a vast sky. Gaze up at swirling clouds. Lay among the flowers. Investigate nature's habits. Squint into hollow trees. Observe creatures scurry. Skip stones along a pond. Jump in fresh mud. Run across a meadow. Follow dragonflies. Fly a kite you built. Be with the day.

Adventures at the Park

Bassoon Solo Unaccompanied

A fictionalized and romanticized scene of the noir city night life. This piece is an attempt to provoke the fantasy nostalgia for an exciting evening amongst the glowing neon signs of seedy dim lit bars, cigars, yellow cabs, and expensive cocktails. Dressed in pearls, black tights, and stilettos, trench coats, and an assortment of fashionable hats. This piece is set in flickering alley ways and wide windy lamp lit streets under a dark sky where bright busses whip by. The night is young and under the looming moon troublemakers make questionable plans. Those observing will wonder with intrigue.What are they up to?

After Dark

Saxaphone Quartet Quartet

<p>I encourage any players or listeners of this piece to dig into its cinematic nature and paint a scene of stars and the magic and vastness of outer space. Let the music take you there. Where there is much still unknown and so much still to discover. "Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world." -Albert Einstein</p>

Comet

String Orchestra Score & Parts

The architect ponders, calculates, and designs monumental structures larger than themselves. They build and they figure how to fit every corner with every square. What the architect does we all do with are lives.Creating and computing skyscrapers, masterpieces out of lifetimes with limitless minds carefully crafting rooms with windows that let in our energy source of light from the sun.The architect blueprints the impossible, but with encouragement from the divine, the architect makes those blueprints a reality. Their creation will take up space in the world and reach for the sun higher than the birds fly in the sky. The architect will look up when it is done and wonder how they did it. The architect is a maker. They make what they are meant to make.

The Architect

Woodwind Quintet

This piece is about the messy path to growth and to becoming a new
  version of you. It's about what it means to let go of everything you thought
  you knew, having it nearly destroy you and your identity before picking up
  the parts of a shattered, ripped up puzzle
    
    and putting something new and more beautiful together. This piece is about
  growing up and changing. It's about having dared greatly with ones dreams,
  going into the jungle, and
    
    coming out the other side happy and safe and having proved that one is
  capable and able to take on the heavy obstacles of life.

What it Means to Rise

This piece was commissioned by Jefferson Campbell, professor of bassoon. There is nothing quite like celebrating in a room full of the people you love. After what's seemed like a lifetime of isolation and disease, this piece captures the clinks &amp; clanks, the foot tapping, the hand clapping, the head bobbing, the shoulder bouncing, the snaps, the pats, and the cheer.

Cheers!

Bassoon Solo

This piece was commissioned by Choir &amp; Organ for Apollo5 in partnership with the VOCES8 Foundation as a reflection on and response to the Mass for Five Voices by William Byrd published in 1594. I particularly felt called to explore the 5th movement in the Ordinary of the Catholic Mass which is the Agnus Dei. This work is both classic and contemporary. It takes a leap in exploring more modern rhythmic and chordal structures while immersed in religious text. It's both energetic and still with an intention of contrasting William Byrd's Agnus Dei with great reverence to the ancient text.  I hope you enjoy the direction in which I took the piece. I certainly had a lot of fun designing the unique soundscape.

O Lamb of God: Inspired by the Agnus Dei

SATTB Full Score

The character of this piece wakes up dazed, confused, and in a bewildering fog. With a heavy head and dense limbs he struggles through the morning. Like a lagging computer, each task takes many moments to survey before acting upon when suddenly the character remembers the most pressing project is due. Urgency washes over him as he throws his things into a backpack, wrestles with his shoes, and stumbles out the door. He embodies a nervous sprint towards lateness.

Rendered Restless

2 Violins, Viola, Cello Quartet

This piece is about a character being stranded in the desert unequipped and unskilled at the demands it takes to survive until the universe in all its mystical power grants the character with some solace- an oasis, a place with water and shelter, a place of peace.

Chasing Horizon
A Poem by Gabrielle Liriano

Look out at that horizon line
A new day is dawning
The birds are yawning
And the humans are crawling out of bed

Stretch for that horizon line 
Its auburn fills your eyes 
Wakeful rays for morning sighs 
A day's work is ahead

Reach for that horizon line 
It's not getting any closer 
But would you want it to?

Toward that horizon line
is a meadow laced with lilac 
Stop and smell, Stay and unpack 
But just for a short view.. etc.
