New EP Release – Share the Joy

December 2, 2018 asd

I am beyond excited to announce the release of my brand new EP ‘Share the Joy’ and to be able to share it with all of you! This has been a project a year in the making – a real labour of love and now a finished product that I am so proud of.

The album features 5 original Christian songs that draw from styles including gospel, bluegrass, jazz and Irish folk – if you’re a fan of groups like Rend Collective hopefully this will tickle your fancy. It’s available now for purchase here as a digital download.

It has been a privilege to work with some crazy talented people on this album who have been so incredibly generous with their time, advice and brilliant musicality. I am so blessed that the whole creation of this album, from penning the first lyrics, has been such a joyous experience. I had no idea it would culminate in this, but I couldn’t be happier that it has. My hope is for these songs to resonate with you and leave you feeling uplifted and joyful.

Top Notes!

December 1, 2016 asd

Classical

Opera Singer Cartoon Woman Top Notes!

For high soprano and piano.

Difficulty: High

Length: 3.30 mins

Description: Originally conceived as part of a song cycle, this is a great stand-alone piece to add to the repertoire! The frustrated singer laments their lot in life – condemned to deliver to their audience the one thing they pay to hear as they ignore the singer’s artistry. With room for improvisation and humorous antics for both singer and accompanist, ‘Top Notes!’ provides entertainment for both performers and audiences alike.

Accompaniment written in consultation with John Martin.

Classical

Comment T’aime Je?

A cycle of 7 songs for medium/high voice

Difficulty: Medium

Length: 15 mins (approx)

Description: Comment T’aime Je? (How do I Love Thee?) is a collection of songs moving through various aspects and experiences of love.

J’ai Presque Peur (Paul Verlaine) ~ first love. This piece is filled with the joy and exuberance of experiencing love for the first time.
La Beaute (Charles Baudelaire) ~ superficial, physical love. Beauty speaks of the important role she plays.
L’amour Cache (Felix D’Arvers) ~ unrequited love. The poet tells the true story of the love he holds for his patron’s wife, which he may never reveal to her. His only hope is that she reads the letter he has anonymously written to her telling of his feelings and might know it is he that loves her.
Le Pont Mirabeau (Guilliame Apollinaire) ~ The poem tells of a relationship that has run its course, yet as the speaker reminisces they realise they aren’t ready to move on without the one they still love.
Demain des L’aube (Victor Hugo) ~ A woman makes a pilgrimage to the tomb of her lover. In the numbness of her grief, she sees, hears and feels nothing.
Chaque jour Je T’aime (Rosemonde Gerard) ~ eternal love. The initial quote from ‘The Eternal Song’ by Gerard, this short piece simply states: ‘For each day I will love you far more than yesterday and far less than tomorrow.’
Aimons Toujours! Aimons Encore! (Victor Hugo) ~ The first several verses from Hugo’s ‘Ode to Love.’
