Strange
A driving rhythm sets the mood for this empowering transformation from bullied trans person to finding support and acceptance from both within and from those they choose to surround themselves with. Written with all genders voicing in mind (options include three treble parts or four mixed voices parts).
I’ll Fly Away
I’ll Fly Away sings about the spirit of a loved one about to be set free from pain and suffering. Asymmetrical meter and a tenor-bass ostinato figure create a rhythmic base for the lilting melody presented in unison and canon that is optimistically focused on the future and the beauty of a shared past.
The Pasture
Robert Frost’s poem conjures up feelings of comfort and longing. It is this peaceful imagery that I strove to create in my choral adaptation of Frost's poem.
