A New Experience for Your Choir
There are thousands of choral programs in the United States alone. But only your program can bring into existence the music it needs since no two choirs are the same. By commissioning new music, your choir gets to:
- Have brand new music composed just for them
- Be the first in the world to premiere the music
- Learn how choral music is composed
- Develop a deeper connection with the music
- Be recognized for years to come for its role in the music’s creation
More Than Music
Every piece comes as a Premiere Package — everything your choir needs to prepare for a world premiere. A Premiere Package can include:
- A discovery call to plan the piece together
- An original work, written for your choir
- Your choir’s name on the title page, there forever
- An unlimited print license — print as many copies as you need
- A demo recording of the piece
- Rehearsal tracks for every voice part, plus accompaniment
- A personal letter to your singers
- A Zoom call with the composer
- And more!

How It Works
1. The Vision
We decide together what the music needs to accomplish technically, stylistically, and thematically.
2. The Creation
I’ll compose the music once we have a concrete vision, keeping you in the loop as it takes shape. The full score will be in your inbox ahead of your first rehearsal.
3. The Launch
You and your choir breathe life into the music in rehearsals. Then, it’s time to premiere it to the world!

Frequently Asked Questions
As long as you need it to. Want to plan two years in advance? Great. Need a score in-hand just a few weeks from now? I can do that. That being said, the more time we have to plan, the better I can align my vision with yours. So the best time to start is now.
There are more options than you might think.
Payment plans. Split your total into installments that fit your program’s budget, paid in full by your premiere date. You can even commission a piece more than a year in advance, so the cost is spread across multiple fiscal-year budgets — lightening the load on any single year.
Form a consortium. Partner with as many ensembles as you like to commission the piece together. Each group shares the cost while receiving the same benefits of the commission, including the score, print license, and rehearsal tracks.
Commission a new voicing. If a full original commission is out of reach right now, commissioning a new voicing of one of my existing works is typically a lower-cost option.
Ask about payment discounts. Certain payment options allow for a discounted cost. Ask about these options on our call!
Payment can be made by check, PayPal, Venmo, bank draft, credit card, or school purchase order (PO).
Yes — while choir is my primary focus, I’m open to writing for other ensembles as well. If you’re not a choir director, feel free to reach out and we can talk about what’s possible.
Absolutely. That’s exactly what our discovery call is for. We’ll decide together what the music needs to accomplish — technically, musically, and thematically. Your vision shapes everything.
