nomine

World Premiere performance of the third movement at California Institute of the Arts with Aniela Perry, Cello, and Drake Peterson, Conductor

Nomine was my first multi-movement concerto written over four years from 2006-2010. The theme from this work occurs in many of my compositions, including my piano trio, string quartet, and piano concerto. While the theme maintains its original meaning in the concerto, it later came to signify my recurring battles with manic depression. The final movement, completed in November 2009, is a celebration of life.
