    uniE608 Fencer (Short Film)
    Music for a film shot on a single roll of super-8. It's a cute story about a fencer who can't find a partner, feels alone. There's a happy ending. The captions signpost the emotions through this music-only demo video. filmmusic film indiefilm independant shortfilm super8 classical strings piano compsoer filmcomposer filmmusic music…

    uniE608 O Lux Splendoris (Original Choir Composittion)
    Original Choral Composition by me. Conducted by me. O Lux Splendoris (O Light Resplendant of the Dawn / νῦν πάντα πεπλήρωται φωτὸς) Performed by Voce Chamber Choir, Conducted by me in December 2023. The words are loosely based on an Eastern Orthodox Hymn, and are very special to me. This is a pantheistic reflection on the magnificence of transcendent light: English Translation: O light resplendent of the morn, on golden wings ascending, At your call we rise; day’s herald, evening' s end. In shadows where nightfall creeps, Banish gloom, let fear dissolve. Liberate my soul from all clouds. O light supreme, from whose rays life streams, Illuminate a path for my soul, fill my inner heart with joy. O lux splendoris aurorae, aureis alis elevata. Surgimus ad vocem tuam, diem apportas, vesperum aufers. Ubi nox obscura grassatur, Disperge tenebras, dissolve timorem. Libera animam ab omnibus nubibus. O lux omnium lucum, cuius radii vitam afferunt. Lumen animae meae tribue, Imple cordis intima laetitia. choir composer composition choral conductor music brass original musiccomposer…
