The IPA ShuffleThis etude is an SATB boot camp in phonetics. Written entirely in International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) notation, The IPA Shuffle aims to familiarize vocalists with the Alphabet and become more in tune with their own vowel and consonant articulations.
This piece worries less about proper voice leading technique and more about fun. |

A horrendous play-test in which I multi-track recorded myself on a quintet of recorders, (sopranino, soprano, alto, tenor, bass), for the first few sections.

Ezekiel: The MusicalEzekiel: The Musical is an in-progress radio operetta based off of the Book of Ezekiel.
Featuring an expanded role for Ezekiel's Wife, an SATB Cherubim, and plenty of laughs, somebody should definitely fund me to finish writing this beautiful piece of work. It was once described in an email from Dr. Teresa Hornsby, author of “Ezekiel Off-Broadway” and professor of Religion at Drury University, as something she would "look forward to hearing/seeing." |

Tight Pants Body Rolls for SATBAdapted from the "Tight Pants Body Rolls" remix in Leslie Hall's Songs in the Key of Gold, this work is the perfect nostalgia piece for lovers of the original work released in 2010.
With simple parts and a catchy tune, there's no reason you shouldn't premiere this piece. |
