This manuscript is a collection of musical compositions written by Christian Newman while a graduate student at the University of New Mexico. Each musical work fulfills at least one composition portfolio requirement as stated in the 2012 – 2013 Music Theory/Composition Student Handbook: the basic requirements include a piece with large orchestration, a piece featuring the voice, a piece featuring electronics, and a collaborativepiece. Newman’s composition portfolio includes numerous works in addition to the requirements that illustrate the depth and consistency of his progress as a composer while a student in the program.

The pieces included in this collection are Newman’s Prelude for Bass Trombone and Piano - “Kalki”, “A Piece on the Pianoforte”, “Every Drop” for Soprano and Mixed Ensemble, Prelude for Low Frequency Trio - “Eurynomos”, “Shadow Piece” in collaboration with Anna Mall, “Hot Summer Nights”- Electronic Instrumental Works for Mixed Ensemble, and “PRAEGRESSUS”- graphic notation scores and realization for wind symphony.
