Writing and Editing

The following is a collection of my writing and editing work.

Life After Brahms: Learning to Live with the Classical Music of the Twentieth Century
This article originally appeared in Insight, the magazine of the BYU Honors Program. As a composer and the managing editor of that magazine, I felt it was a good place to introduce students interested in art to music with which they probably were not familiar.

Music Theory for the Twentieth-First Century: James Tenney’s Meta-Hodos
I wrote this term paper written for my contemporary music seminar. It presents the basics of Tenney’s theory of temporal gestalt perception in music and argues for its more widespread use.

The State of Scholarly Research on Harrison Birtwistle
This article surveys the existing scholarly work on the composer and includes a comprehensive list of articles, books, dissertations, and interviews. It will appear soon in Brio, the journal of the UK/Ireland branch of the International Association of Music Librarians.

Stowaway Magazine, Fall 2010 issue
As part of the capstone editing class, I worked as a senior designer for the Fall 2010 issue of Stowaway, a travel magazine. In addition to helped with the design, I also edited and proofread several of the articles.

‘Sweet as!’: the intensifier as in New Zealand and Australian English
This article began its life as a term paper for a grammar class. After many revisions and the help of Dr. Don Chapman, it appears in vol. 25, no. 2 of English Today.
