Current Projects

Commission for Albany High School Concert Choir 
SATB a cappella, 4-6'
World premiere May 2018


Text and performance details TBD. 

Choral Music
Choral music has been a major focus since 2014. Most recently, I've completed one choral cycle and have a second in the works—both on poems from Robert Frost's A Boy's Will (1913). 
​
Please see below for text, score samples and MIDI demos of each cycle, and contact me if you are an interested director (or are friendly with one)! 

Hymns from a Meadow (SATB a cappella) expresses a Druidic reverence for nature and seasonal energy. Love or a Season (SSA + harp) tells of the long journey of a marriage. Both use the backdrop of sacred places in Mike’s (and Frost’s) native New England.
