I consider arranging and orchestrating the ideal way to truly and thoroughly get to know a musical work and to experience how and why it was created exactly in this way and not differently. With each note and each bar, I have to understand how the composer crafted certain sound worlds and then I imagine how they would have re-created it with the instrumentation I have at my disposal. 
 
So far I have arranged the following works:
