Performance
Learning to make a Rossini opera in Umbria, Italy
Il Viaggio a Reims, Rossini - 1/2 of first run through, 56 mins
Workshop rough run-through with “marking” (not singing fully), first theatric role, i.e., a work in progress. It’s fun to play an 1850’s French Countess who faints when her dresses get ruined!
Messing around in the Harvard chapel
Gershwin, Rachmaninoff - 19 min
Can’t help but love a Steinway grand. Unless there’s a Bosendorfer next door.
Largo al Factotum from Barber of Seville
Rossini ~5 mins
Quarterly singing assignment for NYC Performance Careers Center.
Orchestral compositions (played digitally via simple instrument samples)
Composition for full orchestra in D minor
~5 mins
Heavy in the D throughout, slow and somber, 5/4 timing, plays with space and voicings.
Audio Player
Composition for full orchestra in E major
~2.5 mins (partially complete)
Inspired by the D minor, but playful and fun. Exact opposite attitude. Lots of energy. 3/4 time.
