Musical Compositions

This composition won first place at the BCA Composition Contest. The piece debuted at the BCA Autumn Concert and 2025 Ensemble Prestige. Milena is a musical interpretation of Franz Kafka's Letters to Milena, showing his infatuation despite living such a tormented life. The piece reflects his oscillating emotions through a four-note motive repeated with melodic and harmonic variations. It begins with a melancholic chorus featuring tense harmony, then moves an exploration of various emotions with delicate, frequently changing harmonies.

This piece was performed to a total audience of 800 people at the BCA Fall Play, Pericles. It was written as a musical accompaniment for Marina's character in BCA Theater's production of Pericles. The scene depicts Marina reuniting with her father Pericles after 14 years apart—neither recognizing each other. Marina, known for her singing, was brought to uplift Pericles from his grief. Having gained her experience in a 1930's brothel, the piece captures that era with a smoky, smooth, and simple piano accompaniment. The track is deliberately understated—flattering Marina's voice without extravagance.

When We Part is the theme to the short Film "When We Part" It was written for a final scene that balances melancholy with climactic energy. It has pop/rock instrumentation with jazz harmonies, the piece was made to capture a bittersweet emotion of "parting" while building to a crescendo.
