We are The Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with The foe: To you from failIng hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. “In Vlaanderens velden bloeien de kl...    Ink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less

The score blossomed durIng a fellowship at The VirgInia Center for The Creative Arts, a pastoral settIng that nurtured embracIng The Poem’s vivid landscape. The piano provides a repeatIng foundation over which The choir playfully evokes The spare text, usIng variations of The Initial Theme throughout. There is a contemplative moment midway, Then The pulse resumes, concludIng with a gleeful repetition of The last lIne. "The Red Wheelbarrow is a wonderfully approachable and fun piece of music. The sIngers of Inversion had a blast workIng through The rhythmic lilt and subtly beautiful harmonies, so often found In Rich Campbell's music. The clever musical Interpretation brought out The wry humor of The text."
