Oh, boy! Aren't you lucky! You get to hear all of the music I have composed! I have been participating in a mentorship program. Two years ago, my mentor was Nick Vanduzee. Last year and this year, my mentor was/is Carol Barnett. I hope you enjoy listening to this music as much as I enjoyed writing it!

All of my music is made available to you under a Creative Commons Share-Alike License. I would LOVE it if you would let me know if you use and/or listen to my pieces, though. Older songs are available here. If you would like me to write a piece for your Free and Open Source software project, email me and I'll see what I can do. Enjoy!

• Semi-new Pieces
• • String Quartet No. 1     Finale     PDF
  • • This is the string quartet I wrote for JCI. This is the revised version I worked on there. A professionally recorded audio file is comimg soon! The original version was much more unorthodox. You can see the original Finale file or PDF for reference purposes.
  • Wilderness Walk     Finale     MIDI     PDF
  • • Wilderness Walk is done! It is a piece for middle/high school band. I wrote it after my trip to Alaska. I highly recommend the PDF, as it has the cool title page
• • Majestic Melodies Finale     MIDI     MP3     OGG
  • I wrote this as a short demo for Armagetron to see if they wanted me to score the rest. They were looking for a funk/rock soundtrack. It is written for chamber orchestra. (Kind of... I wrote it to be played back by the comptuer since I know it will never actually be performed. Therefore, it is really for half of a chamber orchestra) Please note as well that this still has no name, and no reason for existence. If you want this for some piece of Free Software, just let me know.
  • All Together as a Whole     Finale     MIDI     PDF     MP3
  • • This is a song I was commissioned by Google to write for the Joomla! CMS. Oggs, a flac, and a wav are available here
  • Candide Overture for Youth Band     Finale     MIDI
  • • Sorry, no links for this one.  It is illegal for me to post it without copyright permission. You are really missing out, though!!! It won first place for its division in the MMEA composition contest. Plus, if it's Bernstein, (the future president) it has to be good!
• Old Pieces
• Jazzberry Jam     Finale     MIDI
• • This is my attempt at writing a jazz band chart. While revising it, it was amazing to see some of the huge mistakes I made. Evwen revisions can't correct everything, so this song is sort of like castle built on quicksand.
• Mario's Match-Up     Finale     MIDI
• • A trombone and tuba duet created for my 6th grade brother and his friend to perform at the annual chaska solo-ensamble festival. It is an anthology of songs from Super Mario World. Ihave seen this song all over the internet, so I am assuming it isn't illegal like Candide.
• Hurricane     Finale     MIDI
• • I am assuming this one isn't illegal, since I saw it online on yale.edu.  I found this poem in my Language Arts textbook, and wrote music around it.
• Pictures at an Exhibition     Finale     MIDI
• • This is an arrangement of Modest Mussorgsky's most famous musical suite. I arranged it for myself to play at our district's solo-ensemble festival, so it is orchestrated for trombone and piano.  At this festival, I recieved a 38 out of 40.
• Captain Comic    Finale     MIDI
• • How many of you have heard of Michael Denio? Now how many of you have heard of his DOS game, Captain Comic? Okay, so it isn't that popular, but I like it. So I composed a medley of the music in it, versions 1-5. (You can download Captain Comic here)
• History Day Suite
• • The History Day Suite is music written for my History Day Documentary.  It is about GNU/Linux, so many of the song titles refer to related topics.  MP3 files are provided courtesy of the Valley Jazz Band.  Unfortunately, I did not advance to Nationals.
  • The Stormy Night     Finale     MIDI     MP3
  • • A slow introduction, which happens to be my favorite song in the suite. Part of this one got cut due to time constraints.
  • A New Trend    Finale    MIDI    MP3
  • • This is the theme song for the project. The MIDI file is played 2x too fast.
  • Libre y Gratis     Finale     MIDI     MP3
  • • GNU and Linux are free as in freedom, and free as in cost. This song title represents that.
  • The GNU Rag    Finale     MIDI     MP3
  • • A catchy song based off of "Rag" from the Piano Suite
• Suite from "The Story of Two Detectives and a Psycho"
  • This suite is from the popular movie by MMK Production Studios. If you would like, you can watch the movie on Google Video
  • A Dark Beginning     Finale     MIDI     MP3
  • Oooh! Scary! This is the perfect song for a murder scene, which is exactly how it was used in the movie.
  • Midnight Mood     Finale     MIDI     MP3
  • This was adopted from the song "Midnight Mood" that I wrote a while ago. It is arranged for two trombones and two tubas.
  • Fresh Trail     Finale     MIDI     MP3
  • Time to jazz it up with this song. This is for when John and Jimmy are on the hunt for a murderer.
  • Ghosts and Goblins     Finale     MIDI     MP3
  • This was the hardest one to record out of any song I have ever written. This one required me to record seven different tracks (eight if you include the cymbal) and fuse them together, adjusting each one so that the note timings are right. Even after all of this, it still sounds awful.
