Vocal Music
Shelley Fragments (2014) mezzzo-soprano, alto flute, piano
Shelley Fragments is a set of songs set to poetry by Percy Bysshe Shelley. I chose poems that were unfinished or fragmented to allow myself more freedom of interpretation when setting the text to music.
Intimations (2012)
My master's thesis for Pierrot Ensemble with soprano and two percussionists. The text is from William Wordsworth's "Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood. (Stanza's I, V, and IX)
