These are examples of my compositions using sounds from the Sibelius Notation program. My goal is to record real musicians and do a public performance of these works.

Latvian Dance
This composition is called Latvian Dance and features flute, clarinet and percussion. It is a very catchy melody that makes people want to get up and dance!!
The Bridge
The Bridge is a a beautiful choral song about equality that says we are the same human race and need to work together to make the world better. It is a relevant message for our country as we are becoming more divided. We hope to record real instruments and a choir to promote this song and the message.
