ARRANGING

rcox-09_54940788496_l_edited.jpg

Necessity is the mother of invention

Most of my arranging work is out of necessity - trying to improve existing literature I'm not satisfied with, or writing accessible music for the ensembles I direct. I love the blend of analysis and creativity that arrange provides, and I constantly seek out ways to synthesize all the styles I perform in when I arrange.

Selected ensembles as arranger

  • Providence College "Special Guest" a cappella

  • The Prout School "Beatitones" a cappella

  • Freelance liturgical music

Notable arrangements

  • "Merry-Go-Round of Life" from Howl's Moving Castle  |  clarinet choir and piano solo

  • "The Way You Look Tonight"  |  TTBB choir, accompanied

  • "The Star-Spangled Banner"  |  SATB divisi choir, a cappella
