Description
The Serenade (after Plato’s “Symposium”) was composed by American composer, Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990) in 1954. The instrumentation of this piece is for solo violin, string orchestra, harp, and percussion, and the only existing piano reduction was arranged by the composer himself. Musical expression markings are exceptionally crucial in Bernstein’s music because these markings can indicate the complexity of the rhythmic patterns, grouping of notes, and musical textures more directly to the performers. This piano reduction has many unplayable and awkward passages due to the technical challenges and oversized chords. Additionally, it is missing some of the musical expression markings such as breath marks and slurs from the full score. It also does not have any instrumentation markings which leads to the fact, the piano, at times, may have difficulties imitating the orchestra.My aim for the newer piano reduction is to make it sound more acoustically similar to an orchestra by adding missing musical components and also modifying the technically challenging passages to be more comfortable to play. My paper demonstrates the process in creating the new piano reduction while explaining the modifications and selections of the voices. Many approaches I used in this project are also applicable to other orchestra reductions. This Serenade is a wonderful piece for both violinists and pianists, I hope my revised piano reduction could benefit more performers in the future. A complete piano reduction will be in the appendix.

Description
A Garden of Roses is a composition for wind ensemble written between October 2022 and March 2023 during a residency with the Arizona State University Wind Ensemble. The piece was inspired by a narrative of grief and acceptance abstracted from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s children’s story The Little Prince, and explores the relationship between auditory perception and expectation, influenced by David Huron’s Sweet Anticipation: Music and the Psychology of Expectation. The piece is approximately 9 minutes in duration.

Description
During my career as an oboist I have only had the opportunity to play four piecesfor oboe by Peruvian composers. It was not until I started my doctoral degree that I found out how difficult it is for people, not only to find copies of these pieces, but also to find the pieces themselves. Due to this obstacle, it is time for a bibliography of Peruvian oboe music to exist. This document annotates a list of oboe (and English horn) music by Peruvian composers detailing 130 works, for solo oboe, as well as chamber works up to 8 players, by thirty composers. Each entry includes a brief biography of the composer, original title of the piece, composition date, instrumentation, publishers, commissions, dedications, and duration of the piece in minutes and seconds. Some entries also include miscellaneous notes on the piece. Incipits of each movement are included as well as the movement title and tempo markings. Works by composers born and educated in Peru who emigrated to other countries, or changed nationalities is included. This bibliography includes all the music found up to October, 2021.

Description
This work studies the influence on music and sound on visual media. It takes two visual media clips and sets them with several musical and compositions. Each piece of music is different in genre and tone, thus changing the audiences perception of the media. It also studies how different genres appeal to different demographics and how this can be used to appeal to them.
