Visions

Visions was written in 2021 and supported by Chris Castellanos and the Visions Consortium Project. The title of the piece refers to the different and unique visual or mental landscapes or... visions, that the music evokes in the listener and performer. This piece was conceived in 2020 during the pandemic, when collaboration among musicians dwindled and artistic motivation waned. My goal was to write a piece that would be safely programmable on recitals without collaboration, challenging enough to pique motivation, and most importantly, fun to play.



At the request of a few consortium members, I have also created solo parts for bass clef instruments (tuba, euphonium, and trombone so far), so if you would like to play this piece with a different instrumentation, please just send me an e-mail!

Visions is now available for sale to the general public! You can purchase Visions for $15, which includes the PDF plus audio files (accompaniment + click track). Please allow up to 24 hours for e-mail delivery - thanks!
