The Compleat Angler: An Album of Songs and Movements in Praise of Fish and Fishing [link]URL  abstract   bibtex   
My thesis piece is The Compleat Angler , an album of songs and instrumental movements for mezzo-soprano, baritone, marimba, piano, viola, and cello. I wrote all of the texts and the title is borrowed from the seminal fishing book by Izaak Walton published in 1653. The genesis of The Compleat Angler did not have a clearly defined intention, or long-range goal. It began as a single song for baritone and piano, "The Octopus" written in 2008, which I then combined with three new, aquatic-creature themed songs and completed in the spring of 2011. This was simply an endeavor to write more art songs, a genre I had not explored yet. However, I had been writing popular music for 10 years and eventually, The Compleat Angler became an attempt to synthesize or, at least, reconcile my two different compositional styles
