Selected Works
Performing and composing are about human creation and connection, everything that is new and inspiring. Music is where the technical and contemplative sides of my work meet.
September — Solo piano improvisation.
Reflections 1 & 2 — Composition performed at the Pyatt Hall, Vancouver 2014.
Improvisation on D. S. James Poem — Piano improvisation.
Read the poem: Love by D. S. James
Love
All day everyday
Breaths spent on loving
Foolishly loving
A heart breaks
And who is at fault
But I give praise to god
Praise for showing me love
Gifting me love
Teaching me the many joys
Of love
We all play this game
Most of us will lose
A few of us will cheat
But none of us will ever win
You don’t win at love
You endure
You don’t beat love
You compromise
I cry a wind born shriek
Echoes across many lives
Ripples of voices
So many tears
Too many sighs
A wind howling
Why
Why this silly game
And who is to blame
But I still thank god
For sending love my way
After awhile
Adding some years
Sipping on pain
Running out of tears
We learn to breathe again
We realize that we were never foolish
Just young
Too young to know better
That love is best when given
Love
