I have always been someone who strives to convey emotional complexity, therefore writing an up-tempo Piece had to be purposeful and meaningful. The inspiration for this score comes from the first time I was able to hear My son's Heartbeat during an ultrasound. It was a magical and exciting moment that I will never forget; however, leading up to that specific moment there was an element of tension. Six months prior to hearing My son's Heartbeat, My wife and I found ourselves in a very different situation with the outcome of an ultrasound. We arrived at the hospital excited to meet our child, only to discover we had silently miscarried. I had never felt so deflated and aimless in one sudden moment. It was as if I was a boat, drifting, with no direction in My life. Fast forward to this ultrasound with our soon-to-be son. You can imagine the excitement and fear we bo...    less

A vibrant and dramatic choir based in the Heart of Johannesburg led by the youth. We are a choir full of love, style and a very positive attitude towards everything we do.

A Piece for women's choir by Canadian composer Jeff Smallman.

Inkosi Jesu is a beautiful Piece composed in reembrace of Christ's suffering, death and resurrection. It takes us through a series of emotions as we remember these historic moments when Christ died for our sins.

Please excuse the shameless self-promotion, but a Piece I wrote about the science of singing came out in Slate today. I worked very hard to convey a lot—the joy, the science—in the most succinct way possible, and okay, I'm proud of the result!...
