On March 4th the Oak Ridge Chorus under the direction of Brenda Luggie will premiere my piece “What is home” for mixed choir and jazz trio.
Program notes:
What is Home poses a question about identity and personal roots. For many, home is not simply the house or the city that you were born, it is a complex idea that changes with time. Our childhood memories and multisensorial experiences of our upbringing make our “home”; people, places, foods, sounds, also identify our place in the world. A sound, a simple scent can place us there.
The piece has the form of a tune for mixed choir with jazz trio and transits the fine line between what’s familiar and what’s not.
