"Burst" for Trombone Quartet

2020 (5:00)


"Burst"  for Trombone Quartet (2020) was commissioned by the Detroit Chamber  Winds & Strings (DCWS) as part of Davis' residency as Young  Composer.


As the title suggests, Burst is about a musical idea that quite literally is wanting to burst forth in the texture and dominate.

"Night Nihilism" for Viola Choir

2018 (4:40)

8 Violas


The title of the piece, Night Nihilism, was inspired by the many moods and thoughts, swarming, which tend to occur only at night. Through a wall of dissonance, the many violas war for prominence.

Inspired by my many years performing as concertmaster of an Argentine Tango orchestra, and an exploration—for the string players—in the extended techniques required of Tango orchestras.
