Boston, MA

Part of an homage to Daniel Pinkham. For SATB chorus, horn, and harp. Text by Elizabeth Kirschner.

Composer's note:The Garden begins with an extended, unfolding introduction for horn and harp; the pace is that of a slow, steady walk. Though the pace remains, the music raises itself to rich climaxes in celebration of the verdant landscape. The Sea is a light and airy dance featuring a bouncy melodic theme that returns a number of times. The Forest is rich and expressive, reflecting true oneness with the landscape.
