I hold a B.M. in Composition from New England Conservatory. Here is a sampling of my not-ukulele-centered music.

Barter (2021), sung by my sweet cousins in New Hampshire, Mary Beth and Regina Hayes. The lyrics are from Sara Teasdale’s poem, Barter.

I am honored to have composed for the all-ages North Cambridge Family Opera Festival Chorus in their annual Cambridge Science Festival concerts.  Here are my science-themed songs from past performances. 

The following are are some of my compositions realized in midi.

Libera Nos (2022), for SSATB, with (unheard) lyrics based on the Catholic embolism prayer: “”Free us, we pray, from every evil. Grant us peace in our day… By your merciful help, may we always be free from sin and safe from all distress.”

Lauda, Lauda Anima, written for SSA choir but realized in midi woodwind trio:

Vigil for Max, an atonal string quartet inspired by Latin American rhythms:

An atonal chamber orchestra piece (which needs spoken narration) called The Little Bird that Fell:

A tonal string quartet study based on fragments of themes by composer and founder of The Boston Conservatory, Julius Eichberg:

A high school concert band piece, The Triumph of Grainne Mhaol:

On Sheet Music Plus, you will find some of my arrangements for ukulele, children’s choir and piano.
