Passionate, dark, and tender music inspired by feelings associated with old age and death.

From the Depths (2011) SATB choir a cappella
Complex, passionate, and heartfelt setting of three Psalms.
Trio Premiere in Ann Arbor, MI
In October my Variations (2011) was premiered by the Aurea Silva Trio, comprised of Brandy Hudelson, flute; Gareth Thomas, bassoon; and David Gilliland, piano. The piece was composed for the trio and they blew the doors off with their performance!
New Work for Choir – “A Requiem” Premiere
September in Bloomington saw the premiere of A Requiem (2011), a work for choir and piano submitted last April as my Master’s Thesis. The performance was incredible thanks to the brilliant leadership of Benjamin Geier, my colleague from Indiana University and music director of Vox Reflexa. The first movement (“The Tower”) will be released on the upcoming Vox Reflexa New Millennium Composer’s Forum CD this Summer–more info will be available soon!
String Quartet performance in Kapadokya, Turkey
From August 8-16, 2011, I attended the Klasik Keyifler Composers’ Cauldron in Kapadkoya, Turkey. Composers Kamran Ince, Marc Mellits, and Michael Ellison, were in residence, along with many fabulous musicians from Turkey, Europe, and the United States. My new string quartet, was workshopped and performed by Orhan Ahıskal and Beril Sun, violins; Meriç Esen, viola; and Heidi Hoffman, cello, for a full house in Şakir Paşa Medrese, an Ottoman School. It was an amazing time and I was so grateful to be a part of it!

“Four Nights in Kapadokya” (2011) for violin and guitar
Variations (2011) for piano solo
Solid, granitic, and sardonic music inspired by the Early Modernists.
Preludes (2011) for piano solo
A dozen short pieces drawing on a variety of influences and techniques, evoking a wide range of expressive characters – from the silly and ironic to the tender and heartfelt.
“¡Cigarra!” (2010) for violin, clarinet, soprano voice, percussion, and piano
Sinuous, expressive melodic writing, pungent harmonies built from perfect fourths and tritones, and a recurring ritual-like rhythmic ostinato.
“Antigone,” a sung drama in one act (2010)
An ancient story of gender, civil disobedience, and family ties.
Ezra Donner
