To Music
Word painting of a raw, intense poem by Paul Cummings is the essence of this homage to the miracle of music, which begins: Your harmony invades my being; / my body is captured by the embrace / of a melody that leads me out of dark places.
Te cubrirá
A flowing Spanish setting from Psalm 90 (91): The Lord will overshadow you with his pinions, and you will find refuge under his wings. His faithfulness will encompass you with a shield.
I Think of Thee
This marvelous love poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning is dynamically dressed with a rich palette of word painting.
Accompanied by members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Los Angeles Children’s Chorus gave the premiere of my Ring Out, Wild Bells on December 3, at Walt Disney Concert Hall. (Composers Nick Strimple and Dale Trumbore share a bow with me.)
