writings


a very brief paper on my thesis composition piece. Some general ideas I had about the piece and its parts.

this paper is also included in a great site for young composers, ensembles and soloists to exhibit their profile, as well as writings

a paper I wrote in graduate school in a Collegium Musicum, a class on the history of performance practice.
a brief overview of the piece by Igor Stravinsky for my Orchestra Literature Seminar.

a brief look at the idea of story in music, using ancient terms of poetics, which many carry over into literature, but here I use them, very generally, to discuss creating music. I wrote this paper for Dr. Ildar Khanonov.

Winner of the "Best Paper" award at the Second Annual Student Conference in Music Theory in 2006.

HERE is a more substantial list of the poetic terms associated with this paper

a short paper written for a History of Opera class.
