Choral Works
A collection of original compositions and arrangements for choir. Having grown up on choral music there is something quite unique when writing for voices. My writing is embedded in this tradition with a contemporary twist.
Sicut Cervus
A motet for double choir with soprano and baritone solos
A contemporary setting of “Sicut cervus desiderat ad fontes aquarum” (“As the deer longs for flowing streams”), this piece captures spiritual longing and renewal through antiphonal textures and lyrical solo lines.

A cycle inspired by the American Songbook
Drawing on the spirit of Copland, Bernstein, and the golden age of American melody, this cycle reimagines classic songbook textures for choir. Arranged for mixed voices, the pieces explore the lyricism, rhythm, and open harmonies that shaped 20th-century American music — a celebration of landscape, longing, and the voices that carry them.
