Composed in the summer of 2016, Shine is a compelling and robust prelude for organ. Utilizing perpetual motion and a series of energetic ostinato patterns, this work explores some uncharted territory in comparison with standard organ repertoire. For example, the complex 6/16 + 5/16 time signature provides for a resilient groove with unrelenting energy, which is driven by a rapid sixteenth note accompaniment and shared between all staves, including the pedals. The frequent stop changes intended to transform the aural atmosphere also demonstrate a modern perspective on compositional technique, as well as showcase a virtuosic level of musical and logistical proficiency from the performer. A diverse harmonic vocabulary is utilized throughout the work and allows for a colorful combination of both horizontal and vertical complexity, which both reach their climactic potential in a vibrant E-flat major presentation of the secondary theme just before the work's powerful conclusion.

Composed as a thesis to fulfill Tucker's ,aster's degree, Sunshower is a symphonic poem in four continuous movements for wind ensemble. Sunshower is both an exploration of sonority and a programmatic display of the depth and beauty of one of nature's true phenomenons. Movement 1, "Storms - in media res," presents the ambiguous aura created by a sunshower featuring rain-storm sounds from the percussion and sequenced melodic lines in the woodwinds. Movement II, "Origins," traces the beginning of the sunshower backing a storm in a distant location created by the swirling of clouds and the influence of the growing winds. Movement III, "The Traveling Rains," depicts through various motives and ideas how the rain from the previous movement travels to the location of the sunshower. Movement IV, "Arrival," returns to the original aura of the piece and shared a refreshed and vitalized version of the piece's original theme. The last movement concludes with a flourish of previous motives to quickly recap the piece and finalize on an exciting and vigorous chord.
