    ❄️ “Let It Go” ❄️ (Disney’s ‘Frozen’ with CGI Animation)

    2 March 2021 / 0 Comments

    Is there anything you need to let go of right now? I hope today’s video inspires you to release something that’s bothering you, holding you back, or holding you down ✨  This was tons of fun to make, and I hope you enjoy it! ❄️ Thank you, Snapchat, for a filter (cartoon) that lets me realize my dream of being an animated character 🙃👌😎 Since I’ve never fully recorded this song before [high belt + how do you even mic this??], I thought Elsa’s first power ballad would be the perfect way to test it out! “Let It Go” is, of course, from Disney’s “Frozen” and was composed by Kristen Anderson-Lopez & Robert Lopez and voiced by…

    Hi, friends! My children’s Countdown ’til Christmas is now live! I’m making daily videos from Dec 1-24 with singing, reading stories, and talking about traditions from around the world.

    Come Away, Death (Shakespeare: Twelfth Night)

    31 October 2020 / 0 Comments

    My latest original composition for one of Shakespeare’s songs! I hope you enjoy it! The lyrics to this song come from Act II, scene iv, of Twelfth Night (1602). Duke Orsino and Cesario are suffering from unrequited love and ask Feste to sing this song to ease their pain. Shakespeare’s plays include many songs and dances, but these are often excerpted in modern productions (which is something I hope to help change :)). Very few of the original melodies survive, and some of my past work has been to compose music for the lyrics Shakespeare provided, which I really enjoy doing! If you’re planning an upcoming Shakespeare production and are…

    “Home Enough to Me” (Dean & Brush)

    21 October 2020 / 0 Comments

    Celebrating a very special person in a very special way: it’s my mom’s birthday! I’m so grateful to have her in my life and to be able to be with her in person this year ♥️♥️♥️ We recorded this music video over the weekend: we had planned to go to a pumpkin patch/corn maze, but they were swamped with people. Instead, we ended up making this in the beautiful countryside near those farms (outside of Milton, FL)! It was so much fun and a special memory to do something like this! This video is part of a #10gloChallenge featuring the music of Dean & Brush! This song comes from their musical The…

    Shakespeare Musical Preshow

    14 October 2020 / 2 Comments

    Today’s #WeeklyWednesday is a throwback to one of the most fun productions I’ve been a part of 😃 I hope you enjoy this excerpt from the musical pre-show I designed for Coronado Playhouse‘s production of Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing”! My talented fellow performers and dear friends are Renee Ulloa-McDonald, Carly Pandza, and Danielle Orner (Gallagher) 👏 🤗 The songs featured here are: 0:06 “Sumer is icumen in,” a mid-13th century round, written in the Wessex dialect of Middle English. 0:49 “Fair Phyllis,” an English madrigal by John Farmer, published in 1599. 2:11 “Now Is the Month of Maying,” an English ballett (similar to a madrigal) by Thomas Morley, published…

    Composing a new Shakespeare song!

    7 October 2020 / 2 Comments

    For today’s #WeeklyWednesday, I decided to show you a new song I’m working on composing and recording! I hope you enjoy hearing it and a bit about the process of writing music for Shakespeare’s plays, which I really enjoy doing! I play it twice, at 1:03 and 7:12. This is my fourth or fifth version of “Come Away, Death” from Twelfth Night. You can hear bits of two others below – one of them is kind of a fugue-ish embellishment on this melody: The goal for this new version is to come up with a simple melody that would be singable for most people; the other two versions I’ve written…
