Looking Back

Wow, this has been one of the busiest semesters I have ever had, but what a ride it has been! I've been to and seen so many amazing performances, not just by my peers but also by other professional groups. I'm so proud to see how everyone has improved and enjoyed every show I could make! I am also so thankful for my amazing friends and fellow musicians, I couldn't imagine performing without them all. Having spent so many long days on campus and catching the sunsets were memorable and blurry memories combined. Working in the music department and helping whenever I can, I couldn't think about doing anything else in the world. Well, aside from applying to graduate schools! (fingers crossed for the best!) I can't wait to see what next semester holds for us!

Jazz Combo Mambo
.
.
.
What an amazing and busy semester it has been! Earlier this month December 2nd, 2024 was an absolutely amazing concert filled with hours of great music! It would also have the world premiere of my jazz piece called Jazz Combo Mambo, and I couldn't thank everyone who was involved enough for helping put this all together!

I would like to thank all of the amazing players for taking time out of their schedules to help put this work together! (@topazchaz, @alarimore35, @rosolinichad.bassplayer, George Comerci, @gutierrezmichael1712, and Justin Dearman) I'm so happy and thankful for them playing my work and hearing such lovely solos! I would also like to thank Dr. Ryan Van Gilder (@ryanjvangilder) for everything this semester and for helping me better understand jazz as well as composing for it!

Dispute of Entangled Lovers'

What an exciting and hectic semster it had been! Last week on November 20th, 2024 was the world premiere of my first string quartet called Dispute of Entangled Lovers', and I couldn't thank everyone who was involved enough for helping put this all together!

I would like to thank our lovely Chamber Orchestra (@csup.orchestra) for playing my work and helping me fix the engraving and adjust parts, I'm so glad to hear that many of you enjoyed playing the peice! As well as Dr. Oleksii Hamov (@oleksiyhamov) for taking a look at my music and adding it to the Orchestra Concert Program! With everyone's grace and patience, I couldn't have imagined a better performance!

Fall Jazz Ensembles Concert
.
.

Tonight was an amazing performance filled with so many great solos that sounded fantastic!

It's always such a fun time watching friends and colleagues performing live music, and what a great selection of songs they had. There was even a world premiere of a student composition called 'Pueblo Nocturne' by Chad Rosolini, which I rather enjoyed.

I absolutely can't wait for the CSU Pueblo Jazz Ensembles to perform again on December 2nd with a student Jazz Recital opening!

The Galan Trio - Kinesis 2024
.
.
.
What an amazing performance last night by the @galantrio!

It's been such a hectic few weeks ever since the semester started, but hearing beautiful music from such talented and skilled performers is always inspiring despite it all. To see them perform here at Hoag Hall and to have traveled all the way from Athens, Greece is amazing on its own! All of the works were absolutely fantastic, but I have to admit my favorites were 'Appalachian uprooting...' by my Composition professor Dr. David Volk (just might be a little biased), and the 'Odessa Trio' (2013) by Ofer Ben-Amots. I'd absolutely love to see them perform again in Colorado in the future!

Last Friday on April 19th, 2024 was the world premiere of my first choral work called 'Amongst the Stars', and I couldn't be more thankful for all of the wonderful people who helped make this happen! 💕

From all of the lovely vocalists in Chamber and Concert choir who said that they had fun with this piece and thought it was pretty, you all did a fantastic job with this piece and I hope to write another work for you all soon!

I would like to thank our collaborative pianist, Abigail Silverberg (@abigail.silverberg), as well as the director of choral activities, Dr. Jennifer Bruton (@csupueblo_choirs)!

Junior Bass Clarinet Recital
.
.

I can't thank everyone enough for going to my Junior Recital, your support and care have been so helpful and is greatly appreciated! The past semester has been so hectic and busy, but everything has been paying off, and we'll be worth the effort. It was great to see so many friends there, and I'm grateful that I got to celebrate it with you all! 💕

I couldn't have done it without my amazing accompanist Kirsten Kleven and my guest player Grace Terry for doing such a fantastic job playing with me! And of course, I couldn't have done it without my instructor Pam Spiroff Diaz for helping me through it all the past 3 years!

I know that this is being posted rather late, but I wanted to make sure that I was able to upload my recital video for anyone who was unable to make it! It was amazing to play such amazing music on the bass clarinet, including the wonderful work 'Lullaby on Venus' by @carloslalonde! I can't wait to prepare for next year's recital!

I absolutely loved all of these photos and had such a fun and amazing time! They all came out fantastically and truly can't thank @renzoscameraroll enough for taking and editing all of these 💕

I'm planning on putting all of these onto my website in a little photo gallery in my biography section. There are so many good ones that I can't just choose one!

Study Day in a Practice Room
.
.

Happy Easter! Today, I decided to celebrate by putting myself into solitary confinement to study 😂. The past week was Spring Break, which I mostly spent being busy with personal things and being sick for the second time this month. Thankful it was less intense and much shorter this time!

Unfortunately, I haven't had time to catch up on anything for school or myself. (I foresee many long days and nights in the music department all of April!) I packed myself late lunch today with some snacks to help fuel my catchup work. Luckily, I have my pick of the practice rooms and pianos, which is nice! Time to wrap up my break and get back to the grind! 💕

Pueblo Chile Jam: Jazz Edition 🎶
.
.
.
Had an amazing time seeing everyone playing a jazz session earlier! All of the songs were great, and it was awesome seeing everyone have so much fun and laughing in a low stress environment! It was nice working on some fun little theory sketching in my composition book (albeit falling apart 😅) with a Roy Rogers 💕

I loved hearing Spain, Take Five, and even some Disney thrown into the mix! Even though "In The Mood" will forever be stuck in my head, I can't wait to go see the @5oclock.combo again soon!

A Day of Composing
.
.
.
I think that today has been the most I've ever composed in one sitting. After having already started on a Wind Ensemble piece that I was planning on reworking the melody and harmonic chord progression, @gabriel_saldana63 said maybe try an orchestral version of it.

After making a new symphonic orchestra score in MuseScore 4, I put the melody that was in the Flute 1 into Violin 1. After hearing those first few notes, I spent over 10 hours overall today composing. I'm so happy and proud of how it's coming together so far, and I can't wait to work on it some more tomorrow! Might as well write as much as I can while the muses still linger!

Reviewing Orchestration and Arranging Notes
.

Last week was such a busy week working on website/business card designs, practicing both my bass clarinet and conducting, and watching the amazing Spring Jazz concert last Friday. Today, I'm going to try focusing on composition works and more conducting. It looks like it'll be another late day in the music dept. At least I made myself some coffee this morning for the first time in weeks (I used extra Snickers creamer) 💕

Early Morning with Arthur

I decided to wake up early today to work on my score study for my conducting piece. I just finished highlighting everything that I needed to practice a little later today. I'm hoping that I'll be able to bind the score without my handheld hole puncher, so fingers crossed 🤞. If not, I'll just use my extra copy of the score and put it in my spare binder for today. Arthur was very tired and demanded head scratches after I finished the last page 💕

Conducted a Bach Chorale for my Wind Ensemble class for the first time today! I think it went really well, it was great getting live feedback and comments from the players that I plan to work on. On to the next one!

This is one of my favorite moments in the piece. It was so fun creating the texture and repeated ostinatos. The effect really helped build the tension to the big climax moment of the piece.
