Watching the Time Fly By, Sorrowful for Horn (in F) and Orchestra was written when I was obsessing over the sound of the horn in F and also regretting that I made the original on Online Sequencer. I also had never arranged anything before and technically I had written one full classical piece before but I just don't count it and I'm not going to ever release it. Released December 23 2024.
Genre: modern classical
Op. 1
Allegro in Waltz Op. 2 I just made for fun because I wanted to make something that a student orchestra could play. Though since I'm a weirdo I decided to start it out in 5/8, because I had a fun melody in my head I wanted to bring to life.
Genre: Experimental, modern, waltz
Op. 2
Adagio Melancholia I created when I was feeling very emotional and low, I was having a very bad day, I just had to create something and it made me feel a lot better. This is arranged for band and is pretty easy (in my opinion). It's very lush and emotional while still being textured.
Genre: Modern, romantic
Op. 3
(I did not publish this to MuseScore because this is the first one that actually means a lot to me and I would like all of my copyright rights for this masterpiece. However, if you want to listen and see the score with the addition of little notes I've written, you can find a playlist with all four movements here.)
Symphony No. 1 in C Minor Op. 4 is my first symphony, released July 10th, 2025. I composed it entirely on MuseScore and I am extremely proud of it. It took me about... five months? Maybe? I'm not sure. This piece is classical, though it is very atypical and modern in style, especially the third movement which is downright eclectic and chaotic. (G Locrian? 5/4 polka? Jazz? That doesn't belong in a symphony... until now!✨)
The first movement is energetic and emotional. The second movement is emotional and uplifting. The third movement is daring and eclectic. The fourth movement is energetic, emotional, uplifting, climactic, and is the most beautiful and stunning thing I've ever made, while still combining elements of all three previous movements.
This symphony is supposed to sound just like me: emotional, very complex, and sometimes just downright weird. This symphony is the symphony of my soul. Though, I did take a few things from other composers: The piano at the beginning of the first movement was inspired by the piano at the beginning of the first movement of Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2 (the second movement is one of my absolute all-time favorite songs), and the open hi-hat drumming later in the first movement is inspired by I believe the song Reverberations by Brian Balmages (which I played piccolo for. I loved the sound of the hihat drumming.)
Genre: Experimental, modern
Op. 4
Elegy for Twyckenham Fields is, as the subtitle says, in memory of my blissful, isolated childhood, and the long-lost vast green field that I mostly existed in. I was at an in-person immersive orchestra experience for a week, and we had music theory classes on the side. For the music theory class I was placed into, our homework was to compose something. I did not have access to MuseScore, but I had access to music staff paper and several pianos, so I sat at a piano and just let my intuition guide me like I usually do. Instead of composing a melody and then playing it, I played a melody and then wrote it. It turned into this. When I got home to my computer I arranged it in MuseScore, which unfortunately does not capture the piece at all how I want it to, but that's okay because I'll publish a recording of myself playing it.
Genre: Solo piano, experimental
Op. 5
