Nightfall Nightfall
Nightfall is such a peaceful time--a time to have a cup of tea, read a book, and fall asleep. This song sprang from a sense of peace and security deep within me.

Lost in a Moment Lost in a Moment
While playing this song at the restaurant where I used to perform, a couple at a nearby table stood up and started dancing next to the piano. Each time I glanced over at them, they appeared more and more lost in each other, and lost in the moment.

Until You Leave Until You Leave
It can be difficult when someone you care about has to leave, but the pain can be eased by spending as much time together as possible before that day comes.

If I Can't Be The One If I Can't Be The One
When a past relationship didn't work out, I knew quite simply that it wasn't meant to be. But I also knew that the future held treasure, and I composed this song to express my optimism and hopes for both of our futures as we led our separate lives.

Our Life Our Life
A good friend who was about to get married showed me an excerpt of a letter he had written to his fiancee in which he expressed how deeply he loved her. Before the wedding, he asked me to compose a song that captured those feelings.

Despite the Rain Despite the Rain
This piece reminds me of a trip to Switzerland to visit my sister when she was studying abroad for her freshman year in college. Although no day was without drizzle, we still managed to have a wonderful time.

Castle Towers Castle Towers
The enormous towers of the stone castle rise formidably above me against the gray sky. A daunting structure, indeed, but I feel a great sense of hope.

All That Matters All That Matters
When I think about my family and friends, how they are always there for me, and what wonderful and genuine people they are, I believe myself to be one of the luckiest people on the planet. The people in my life are all that matters.

Treelight Treelight
The setting for this song is an outdoor patio surrounded by tall trees. Lanterns are strung across the patio from branch to branch. At dusk, the rays of the setting sun stream through all the leaves and produce a dazzling treelight effect.

Break of Dawn Break of Dawn
The very beginning of the day symbolizes a fresh start. But there are times in life, too, when we must make a fresh start. This song is the musical story of waking up to a brand new day and pressing courageously forward.

One World One World
We are all inhabitants of a relatively small planet, yet divided by arbitrary lines and often isolated by prejudice. This piece expresses my hope for humankind; that one day, people will no longer think in terms of 'we' vs. 'they,' but instead 'us.'
