Earth Song (arr. for solo marimba) offers a new voice to Frank Ticheli’s beloved choral work, preserving its message of hope and healing through the warm resonance of the marimba. This arrangement captures the original’s lyrical phrasing and harmonic depth. A meditative and expressive piece, it invites both performer and listener into a space of reflection and calm.

Gladly Beyond is a lush and intimate choral setting of E.E. Cummings’ poem “somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond.” Scored for SATB choir with divisi and a soprano solo, the piece explores the vulnerability and awe of deep emotional connection. Gentle harmonic shifts and delicate textures mirror the poem’s quiet intensity, guiding performers and listeners through a world of stillness and wonder.

This untitled solo snare drum work explores the intersection of rhythm and sustained sound through the use of an EBow on a guitar string stretched across the drumhead. Blending acoustic percussion with electronic resonance, the piece unfolds as a study in contrast—percussive strikes against ethereal tones, pulse against drone. It invites the listener into a sound world where tradition and experimentation coexist, blurring the boundaries between noise, pitch, and texture.
