Music Compositions
  • Waltz in C Major (2011) | SoundCloud
    Written for string quartet and piano. Rendered with Finale PrintMusic 2008.
    A 19th century-style waltz using much learned material from a formal music theory course on chromatic harmony.

  • Walking Forward Into Light (2011)
    Written for chamber orchestra.
    A final project for an introductory seminar on the life and works of Charles Ives. A quasi-Ivesian collage of select Ives pieces pertaining to the idea of life as a journey. A lot of research and song analysis was done in preparation for this piece (contact me if interested in a PowerPoint file of the presentation). Songs used are "Walking," "Forward Into Light," "Slow March," "The World's Highway," "Luck and Work," and "The Circus Band."

  • Minuet in A Major (2011) | YouTube
    Written for string quartet. Performed 2011 by classmates. Note: piece was sightread. Cellist replaced with pianist.
    A Classical-style minuet for an assignment for a music theory course on chromatic harmony. Short and joyous.

  • 2010 Overture: Up Toward Mountains Higher (2010) | SoundCloud
    Written for concert band. Rendered with Finale PrintMusic 2008.
    My senior project. Co-composed with Brendan Ige, a high school friend. Premiered by the Pearl City HS Symphonic Winds, May 2010.
    My first piece for concert band. Concept was to create and develop a counter-melody to the Pearl City HS Alma Mater and intertwine with the finale of Tchaikovsky's famous 1812 Overture. Builds to a grandiose finale. Dedicated to the Pearl City HS Class of 2010.

  • Deathbed Reminiscences (2009) | SoundCloud
    Written for orchestra. Rendered with Finale PrintMusic 2008.
    My first orchestral piece. A patchwork of musical "scraps," old melodic ideas I never ended up fully developing. Gentle, majestic piece.

  • Annoyance (2009) | SoundCloud
    Written for electric and acoustic guitars, piano, synthesizers, marimba, vibes, and drum set. Rendered with Finale PrintMusic 2008.
    Took an "annoying" four-measure riff and kept building on it throughout the piece. Ends violently.
    My entry into the SY 2008-09 PTA Reflections Program (Theme: "Wow!").  Placed 2nd statewide.

  • Acerba Moenia | SoundCloud
    Written for solo piano. MIDI-sequenced by Daniel Bayot, a high school friend.
    Creepy piece with strange harmonies and dissonances, experimenting with imitation.

  • Fughetto in C Minor (2009) | SoundCloud
    Written for woodwind quintet. Rendered with Finale PrintMusic 2008.
    Experimentation with baroque counterpoint and fugal styles. Inspired by Bach's "Little Fugue."

  • Dance of the Fire Goddess (2007) | SoundCloud
    Written for string orchestra, harp and piano. MIDI-sequenced by Daniel Bayot.

  • The Innocent Seafarer (2007) | SoundCloud
    Written for solo clarinet and piano. MIDI-sequenced by Daniel Bayot.
    Short and sweet. Inspired by a clarinet etude.

  • Ever Since | SoundCloud
    Written for pop band. Rendered with Finale PrintMusic 2008.
    Inspired slightly by chords to Christina Aguilera's "Come On Over." Might possibly add lyrics to featured duet.

  • At the Circus | SoundCloud
    Written for mixed winds, organ, and bells. Rendered with Finale PrintMusic 2008.
    Uses a combination of sounds that I thought would nicely evoke an image of a circus.

    Written for brass ensemble, piano and timpani.
    A fanfare piece that follows a story-like structure. 

  • New Friends  (2007) | SoundCloud
    Written for mixed ensemble and percussion. Rendered with Finale PrintMusic 2008.
    A dainty piece that's meant to loop, as in a video game. Possibly inspired by Pokemon.

  • Christmas Twilight (2007) | SoundCloud
    Written for string quartet, flute, clarinet, guitar, harp, and bells. MIDI-sequenced by Daniel Bayot.
    A piece sweetly describing a familial Christmas scene by the hearth. 

  • Tell 'Em, Tell 'Em (2007) | SoundCloud
    Written for jazz band. Rendered with Finale PrintMusic 2008.
    A catchy little ditty featuring a trumpet. Inspired by the bass line of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough."

    A driving soul piece featuring an alto saxophone.
