Like A Language

In Columna is scored for chorus, 2 violins, cello, lute, and organ. The text (sung in Latin) is taken from Exodus 13:21 and 13:22:

21 By day the LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night.

22 Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people.

-Translation from The Holy Bible: New International Version

In Columna was commissioned by Seraphic Fire, Patrick Dupre Quigley, Artistic Director, in partnership with the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.

Figure to Ground is a musical response to "Poem from Hölderlin" by Susan Stewart. As images do in the poem, musical ideas move quickly between foreground to background in non-linear cycles of growth and decay. This piece was commissioned by Network for New Music as part of their "Poetry through Music" program. Six new pieces written specifically for that program each responded to Stewart's poem, which was itself commissioned for the event.
