The Wind Will Carry My Song

Finding the message from difficult experiences and telling the story is difficult but can be empowering. These words and personal experience serve as an inspiration for writing “The Wind will Carry My Song”, a SATB choral composition.

O Little Rose, O Dark Rose (SATB)

Based on the poem by Sir Charles G.D. Roberts, this piece uses garden imagery to paint a story about a conventional person seduced by the appearance of the free spirited and non-committal “Carmenesque” person.

I Had No Time to Hate

The poem by Emily Dickinson has a strong message of love that is particularly poignant for our times. A small amount of love is better than a large amount of “Hate” or “enmity.”
