SCORES BY NAOMI LAVIOLETTE
Professional Composer & Accompanist, Billboard-charting Artist and Featured Performer on CBS Sunday Morning
Naomi LaViolette
Composer/ Arranger
Naomi LaViolette’s compositions have been performed worldwide in professional, amateur, sacred and scholastic settings.
In 2018, her piece “Melancholy Flower,” co-composed with Steven Craig Goodwin, was included in Gothic Records' release of Shadows on the Stars, an album by the Oregon Repertory Singers, which charted on Billboard and won the American Prize.
Naomi studied Music Theory and Composition while pursuing her undergraduate and graduate degrees in Piano Performance, and her professional work as a choral accompanist, jazz pianist, singer-songwriter and chamber musician since 2001 greatly influences her composing. She is a published composer with Santa Barbara Music Publishing, the composer and arranger for the Oregon Symphony Lullaby Project, and the accompanist for the Oregon Repertory Singers since 2004. Her music for choirs, chamber ensembles, soloists, and orchestras reflect an authentic connection to nature, spirituality and humanity.

“It doesn't matter if you are a listener or a performer of Naomi’s music; the beautifully and thoughtfully crafted stories and melodies will capture your heart and soul from the first note. I am proud that Oregon Repertory Singers has been and will continue to be a champion of her music. In fact, we have professionally recorded her compositions on our album "Shadows on the Stars," which went on to win the American Prize for Community Chorus in 2018-2019, and we intend to keep her choral arrangements actively programmed on our seasons. Her music deserves to be heard on every stage and platform as it resonates with and relates to all ages. I will personally, forever and always, be a loyal fan of Naomi and her music.”
