Excerpts from Saskatchewan Songs for voice and piano by Martha Hill Duncan, Poetry by Dr. Bonnie Cutsforth-Huber 

Recording at premiere in May, 2012 at Penn State University, Altoona Pennsylvania with Contralto, Bonnie Cutsforth-Huber and collaborative pianist, Arlene Shrut. 

Bonnie and I first met at a National Opera Association Convention in San Antonio, Texas in January, 2011. I felt an instant connection with her and was thrilled with the possibility of composing for a singer who also happened to be the poet. This collaboration has been extremely rewarding for me and I hope that my music has fully showcased her evocative, imaginative and nostalgic poetry about Saskatchewan. As a transplanted Texan living in Canada, I certainly feel a bit of nostalgia myself when I’ve experienced the big sky, vast landscape and friendly people of this beautiful prairie province
