Choral Works

Langston Hughes' Dream of Freedom The poetry of Langston Hughes inspires this choral suite, telling a story of many aspects of life, prayer, love, death, and perseverance. Through it all, these elements play into our constant struggle to be free, where freedom means more than just a word. Of Fire and Form, commissioned by the WV chapter of the American Choral Directors Association, premiered in February 2011. The text is from Ovid's Metamorphoses, using the myth of the Phoenix to shed light on the nature of the world.
