My works- mostly things done in university.
The Murals of Mur
A one-act opera, whose libretto is currently undergoing revision. Both text and music will be done by me.
Short overview: The opera revolves around a painting from the church of Santa Maria de Mur (located in Lleida, Catalonia), and its displacement during the early 20th century.
Ermessenda
A 2-act opera, for which I am writing the words. I don't know yet if I want to do music for it, though.
Short overview: This opera is about the 11th-century countess Ermessenda de Carcassone, and her struggle to hold on to power during the feudal transformation in the later 1000s.
Mort, tu as navre (working title)
Another one-act opera, but this one's a new project in the planning stages.
Short overview: The opera is an imagined conversation between the composers Dufay and Ockeghem, and it is centered on the nature of remembrance- particularly for composers.
Pages for each of these projects are forthcoming- keep an eye out for them!
Giotteschi (2024)

Scene from The Murals of Mur (May 2023)
A short opera scene concieved during a Spring 2023 class, and the second piece to take inspiration from the murals of Santa Maria de Mur- this time focusing more directly on the history behind it.
Atlant (December 2022)
Inspired by the murals of Santa Maria de Mur displayed in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, this piece is scored for solo piano, paired with improvised choreography by Emma Weller (CFA '24).

re:1300 (April 2022)
This piece for at least 3 unspecified instruments was one of my first attempts to emulate early music- specifically, the style of Machaut and his contemporaries. Composed for Time's Arrow Ensemble, Boston University.
Pilgrim's Procession (April 2022)
This short piano piece was originally conceived as a movement within a suite of medieval-inspired pieces, but has taken on a life of its own as a standalone piece. It is inspired by works such as the Cantigas de Santa Maria and the songs within the Llibre Vermell de Montserrat.
L'Annunciazione (April 2023)
A work for fixed electronics, inspired by the Gardner Annunciation.
