Arranging

My arranging work spans centuries and styles — from settings of medieval and Renaissance chant, to new instrumentations of classical repertoire, to pop songs from the last fifty years reimagined for strings. Many of these pop arrangements have been featured internationally in Fever’s Candlelight Concert series.

I’m especially passionate about a project I have been pursuing for over ten years centred on the music of Eugène Ysaÿe, bringing his lesser-known, unpublished, and unfinished works to life through modern performance editions. These include his rarely heard transcription of Chopin’s Ballade No. 1 in G minor, the Petite Fantaisie Romantique, Légende Norvégienne, the three Études-Poèmes op. 9, as well as his cadenzas for the Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, and Vieuxtemps violin concertos. These works reveal a rich, multifaceted side of Ysaÿe’s artistry that has long been overshadowed by the enduring popularity of the solo sonatas. Alongside this, I continue to develop a collection of folk songs from around the world arranged for small string ensembles, as well as works by composers from Terezín, ensuring this powerful repertoire remains accessible to today’s performers and audiences.

The edition of the Ysaÿe - Chopin Ballade No. 1 in G minor Op. 23 has been published in physical format by Ries & Erler, and is distributed in North America by Carl Fischer. I wrote a short article about Ysaÿe’s arrangement of the Chopin Ballade for Violinist.com when my first edition was first released in 2017, in conjunction with a sheet music giveaway generously sponsored by Carl Fischer, which can be read here.

Most of my arrangements and compositions are available online on Sheet Music Plus.
