More Than a Premiere. A Message for the Living.
Directors do not just program music. You create moments that shape how singers and audiences remember a season. Odes of Love was written to make one of those moments feel unmistakably real.
For years, I carried a silent fear of my own finitude. I would wake up with the urgent feeling that I needed to do something meaningful,
to make each day worth living. That impulse pushed me to travel relentlessly, collecting moments instead of security.
That pursuit delayed this music, but it also gave it its soul. Odes of Love is one of my most honest works because it holds a message
I have learned to live by: breathe in the present moment before it fades, and remember that our friends, family, and nature are the true pillars
of a healthy existence.
This is my ode of love, not romantic love, but love for the only thing that truly belongs to us: this life.
Your choir deserves to sing about what matters. Give them the experience of a premiere that celebrates life itself.

Audio Preview
Listen to the mood, pacing, and vocal writing before you claim your state.
When you close your eyes and hear the ocean's roar,
When the sand breathes softly under your feet,
When your hope makes the air bloom.
Odes of love
When you breathe the skies and feel the soul restore,
When your friends are truly there by your side,
When their light breaks past the gloom.
Oh, sweet life. Let me remain here forever.
In this morning, in this life,
Forever.
Instrumentation: SATB choir with piano and guitar.
