Commissioned by La Quinta High School. Hoi Am Que Nha (translated: The Warmth of Home) is a poignant choral work for SAB choir, flute, bass drum, harp, and piano, exploring the emotional landscape of immigration, memory, and belonging. Through evocative imagery of clouds, bubbles, and waves, the piece traces the journey from homesickness and longing for a distant homeland to finding warmth and connection in a new land. Drawing on personal and communal histories, it weaves themes of childhood, sacrifice, and cultural heritage into a lyrical tapestry that celebrates resilience, family, and the enduring ties to ones roots.

The Promised Land is a SATB bilingual choral work that tells the story of the immigrant experience in Vietnamese and English, reflecting the journey from homeland to new beginnings.

Rooted in personal memory, the piece explores hope, freedom, and opportunity alongside the enduring ache of homesickness and distance from family. Drawing on Vietnamese cultural imagery and lived experience, it gives voice to stories often left unheard in choral literature. Written with choirs and music educators in mind, The Promised Land offers an opportunity to represent immigrant communities and help students feel seen, valued, and connected through music.
