Commission a new work

I am passionate about collaborating with choirs of all sizes and skill levels to create music that is tailored to their unique needs, voices, and artistic vision. Whether you are looking for an intimate piece for a small ensemble or a dynamic, large-scale work, I’m excited to explore ideas with you.

The Commission Process

Commissioning a new work is a collaborative and inspiring experience. Here’s an overview of what to expect when you commission a piece:

  • Initial Consultation: We will discuss your choir’s needs, musical preferences, and the occasion, theme, or vision for the piece. Whether it’s a celebration, a memorial, or a special project, I’ll work with you to understand the musical direction you’re envisioning.

  • Tailored Composition: I will compose a work that fits your choir’s specific vocal range, skill level, and stylistic preferences, ensuring that it aligns with your goals and highlights your choir’s strengths.

  • Contract and Terms: Once we agree on the basic requirements, I will provide a written contract that outlines the specifics of the project, including the scope of the work, delivery timeline, revision process, and fee structure. This ensures that both parties have a clear understanding of expectations moving forward.

  • Timelines and Revisions: Throughout the composition process, I will keep you updated on progress and offer opportunities for feedback, so that the final piece is a true reflection of our shared artistic goals.

Why Commission?

A commissioned work brings something truly unique to your choir’s repertoire. It can:

  • Celebrate a special milestone or event

  • Honor a specific theme or text

  • Be tailored to showcase the distinct sound and character of your ensemble

  • Create a meaningful connection between composer, conductor, and choir
