	The idea for Moxie came to me in 2017 as I was finishing my Masters degree at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG). Being under the tutelage of Dr. Eric Willie for those years is something that I cherish, so I wanted to write a piece that I felt was representative of my time in Greensboro. Capturing the essence of a place that provided me so many different types of opportunities to me meant that I needed to have a piece with multiple styles. Moxie is in two sections, both primarily utilizing a minimalistic approach. The first section having a heavier sounding, more hip-hop based style, with the second section being more subdued and melodious. I have long found a large deal of inspiration from the energy of hip-hop artist Mac Miller. His performance on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert that happened a few short weeks before his unexpected passing in September 2018 had an immense impact on me as a musician. His performance was so full of excitement/energy, and I wanted to approach Moxie with that same spirit. At the same time, orchestral music such as Beijing Harmony by [[Michael Gordon]] sits on the other side of my musical seesaw. The second part of Moxie uses compositional techniques found in most of Gordon’s works. Different melodic/accompaniment material fading in and out of one another, while being passed throughout the ensemble creates a unique encompassing feeling. This work was written as a gift to Dr. [[Eric Willie]] and the UNCG Percussion Ensemble, where the most valuable lesson I learned was to have Moxie.
