I am very happy to announce that I have finished my very FIRST string quartet!!!! It took me about a month to write and presented some very difficult obstacles. The work was written for the Young Composers August Competition. The object was to utilize the theme to the hymn 'A Mighty Fortress'. I'm so happy to have it finished!!! Link below!
String Quartet
A description, eh? How does one describe themselves really? I mean, I could sit here and expand my ego more and more OR I could just write my music and push for its performance. Which would I rather do? I am a composer. I spend a large amount of my day and night composing music. If anyone would like to know more, feel free to follow and leave me a comment.

Inactivity
So, I've been extremely busy the past couple months with school and composition. For summer term, I passed all my classes and achieved a 4.0 GPA!!! I was so excited about it. So, my goal for the remainder of the year is to maintain that 4.0 GPA. I've completed a few new works while in school - nothing real substantial though. As always, the links to these are below - if anyone cares to check them out. Will try to keep this updated as much as possible.
