The score is at once rhythmic and exciting, haunting and unsettling. It was a winner of the 2018 Uncommon Music Festival Composition Competition. It is accessible for all fine high school, collegiate and community choral ensembles. Performers are encouraged to present this work in a more dramatic fashion than usual, “within (or surrounding) the audience.” 2018 Winner of the Uncommon Music Festival Composition Award & premiere in Sitka, Alaska, summer 2018.  less

Italy Tour: September 7-15, 2011 Text (English translation): Poetry by Alfonsina Storni Two Words Tonight you murmured two simple words into my ear. Two words shopworn from use. Words so old, they are new. Two words so sweet the moon floating beyond the trees' branches pauses to fill my mouth. Words so melodious, when an ant inches up my neck, I make no move to brush it off. A pair of words so sweet that despite myself I say "How lovely life is." Calming, gentle, they are like scented oils poured over my body. So sweet and beautiful and my nervous fingers rise toward heaven in imitation of scissors. Yes, tonight my fingers would cut out the stars.  less
