ship of theseus variations is scored for sinfonietta - 112(2=bass)1.1110.2perc.pno.11111.

When the components of a ship are replaced one by one, is it still the same ship? When the notes of a theme transform one by one, is it the same melody? When the parts of a person are changed one by one, is it still the same person?

ship of theseus variations was written for Alarm Will Sound as part of the 2026 Missouri International Composer's Festival. 

with Alarm Will Sound and Alan Pierson after the premiere of ship of theseus variations​

recording forthcoming!
