An Open World, When I Land and And the Wind are three settings of poems from FletcherLaVallee Bartholomew's collection entitled "And the Wind: Gnostic Poems 1945 - 1979." Minneapolis native Fletcher Bartholomew spent most of his life in aviation, beginning with a childhood flight in a Curtis Robin in 1929. His work in aviation started with a job as an inspector in an aircraft factory. He went on to become a test pilot in World War II, serving at the South India Air Depot at Bangalore, India. He often spoke later of his experience on the ship to India and the people he met travelling around the subcontinent. He subsequently worked in aviation in Munich, Germany, and in Lima, Peru, before he concluded his career working in airport planning and management.  less

Hill and Christine Blasey Ford Katherine FitzGibbon, conductor The composer writes: Writing LISTEN was an emotional process. The first hurdle was deciding which excerpts from the testimonies of Anita Hill and Christine Blasey Ford to set, which meant reading and listening and living inside these women’s harrowing stories for an extended period. And like most women, the most discomfiting aspect of listening to their testimony is the recognition. When I first heard about Ford’s experience, I was disturbed by its similarity to an incident that happened to me. I went to an all-girls private school, and we sometimes partnered with an all-boys private school for Musicals. One night when I was 15, after a performance, while we were still on stage, one of the boy...    less

Video recreated in honour of the composer Vidi una porta, e tre gradi di sotto per gire ad essa, di color diversi, e un portier ch' ancor non facea motto. [I saw a portal, and three stairs beneath, Diverse in colour, to go up to it, And a gate-keeper, who yet spake no word] Poi pinse l' uscio a la porta sacrata, dicendo: "Intrate; ma facciovi accorti che di fuor torna chi ' n dietro si guata" [Then pushed the portals Of the sacred door, Exclaiming: “Enter; but I give you warning That forth returns whoever looks behind.”] Io mi rivolsi attento al primo tuono, e ' Te Deum laudamus' mi parea udire in voce mista al dolce suono. [At the first thunder-peal I turned attentive, And _”Te Deum laudamus”_ seemed to hear In voices mingled with sweet melody.]  less
