Hey everyone! I am decided to go ahead and publish my finished works on the forum. I may re-upload some existing works to match this shift, however, let this score mark the second part of this series! No.2 - Ballade for the Dead A Ballade for the Dead was composed for a larger chamber orchestra in 2025 during their call for scores, and unfortunately, did not pass on to the final round of judging. A little defeated, I thought about what to do with the score, and thankfully found inspiration to use it as the first movement of a 3-part suite titled describing the afterlife. It is not yet finished as I am working on the subsequent movements, but am eager to share the start of the project. The pronunciation for the work is meant to be pronounced as the other version "Ballad" instead of "Ballade". I just liked the E better for the spelling 😅. To add, I have found inspiration for a possible choir version depicting the battle between God, Satan and a lonely Priest. Many possibilities to be had! Feel free to leave any comments about the work and I hope to see you all in the next one! _______________ PROGRAM NOTE: A Ballade for the Dead is a several-minute long work for chamber orchestra detailing the concept of Death. The piece does not follow a specific storyline, instead, it paints a dramatic and abstract journey through the afterlife. Join the orchestra as they paint the agony, dread, and quiet beauty that might be experienced by a soul as they cross over; whether wandering through Purgatory, facing judgment, or simply drifting beyond, they follow this Ballade of Death. no.7_A Ballade for the Dead.mp3 Ballade for the Dead_Score.pdf

[UPDATED SCORE - May, 2026] Hey everyone, in March, 2026, after 3-months of composing, I finished my latest large Orchestral Work 'The Waves of Frisco Bay". Lasting seven minutes, this work details several scenes about the ocean and in a subsequent comment, you can find the specific scenes. I am very proud of this work and most eager to share it as well as have it performed someday. Thank you for taking the time to look, listen and explore my work! PROGRAM NOTE: The Waves of Frisco Bay is an orchestral work written by Mason Kistler capturing various scenes of the Atlantic Ocean as you look off the coast of Frisco, North Carolina. This work was composed over the course of 2025 and 2026, following the composer's stay in the Outer Banks of North Carolina; which is a set of barrier islands off the east coast of the Tar Heel State. Through the orchestra, we are transported to the coast, where we feel the crashing of the waves, the winds as we sail, and the life teeming just beneath the surface. Join the orchestra as they set sail across the big blue, and ride The Waves of Frisco Bay. ______________________ if you would like to know more about the score and it's creation, go to the "About" section on page 4!

Hey everyone! I am decided to go ahead and publish my finished works on the forum. I may re-upload some existing works to match this shift, however, let this score mark the first part of this series! No.1 - Mountain Storms and Valley Peace Mountain storms and Valley Peace is my first successful work for the orchestra. Winner of the 2024 Young Composer's Forum, and apart of the Tennessee Valley Music Festival, it was recorded and debuted in June, 2024. In 2025, I decided to rewrite the work to the version you shall listen to. After some small tweaking of the front matter, the score is complete and available for view. Feel free to leave any comments about the work and I hope to see you all in the next one! (P.S. In my opinion, this work is complete and as of this post, I have no plans to update the score) _______________ PROGRAM NOTE: Mountain Storms and Valley Peace is a symphonic work and the winning composition of the 2024 Young Composer’s Forum at the Tennessee Valley Music Festival. Set against the backdrop of the Appalachian Mountains, this piece explores the dual nature of the world; both the chaotic power of a thunderstorm and the tranquil peace that follows. The storm represents the harshness and unpredictability of life, a force of destruction that is as much a part of nature as the calm that succeeds it. This work invites listeners to join the orchestra and experience the balance of forces that shape the world, showing how both extremes contribute to the richness and resilience of nature. [VOLUME WARNING]

I have been unhappy with my production as of late, so I decided to work on a piece for much longer than I normally do, and these is the unfinished results of my time. "A drop of color - For Wind Band (Rough Draft, Unfinshed)". Critique and review are very welcome. Please keep in mind that this is a very rough draft, and none of the visual weirdness or engraving issues will be present in the final score. https://youtu.be/4KUo4SZu5UA

Hey everyone, Here is the piece I composed this semester for my composition lessons at university. It's about 18 minutes long, so if you only want to listen to and review a small portion, that's totally fine. This piece is still under revisions, so any feedback is welcome. Thanks! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2Z780ZKZIY

I've just finished a new song for large jazz ensemble called "Fear No Fifth." After mucking about in the 1950s/early 60s for my last couple of songs, I think I've finally graduated into the mid-1970s with a Tower of Power-type big-band something-or-other. I guess it's basically a blues with an extended vamp during the solos, the type of song that Count Basie or Duke Ellington could have knocked off in about a day and a half; I've been working on it since March. Anyway, I hope you like it. I can post the score if anyone's interested.
