about

There I Was is a work commissioned by The Nashville Ballet and choreographed by Matthew Neenan. The dance portrays a journey of self-acceptance while the music illustrates a wide range of emotions. Written for piano, cello, and marimba, the score uses solos for each instrument to reflect important moments in the story.

I decided to release the solo piano finale of There I Was as a single because of its peaceful and optimistic outlook. My hope is that it adds a little bit of beauty in a difficult time.

The Nashville Ballet believes in the importance of community and makes it a point to use local composers for new work. I am grateful that they have been so supportive of me and I would like to show my appreciation in return. I am donating all proceeds from the recording and sheet music downloads of There I Was to the Nashville Ballet. By purchasing the MP3 and sheet music, you can join me in supporting this wonderful company.
