Choral

Originally included as the final movement of “To Touch the Sky”, “Evergreen” was revised in 2023 for Conspirare’s “House of Belonging” recording on the Delos Label and can now be performed as a standalone work.

Fleda Brown’s beautiful If I Were A Swan is a poem I had originally intended as part of my large, multi-movement choral work To Touch the Sky (Nine Songs for Unaccompanied Chorus on Texts by Women); ultimately I decided it would succeed better on its own.

Though in 1999 or so, I wrote a short choral work for the 300th anniversary of Yale University, To Touch the Sky is my first mature attempt at writing for unaccompanied chorus.
