Elegy 'In Memoriam Peter Sculthorpe', for strings and percussion

This is my 8-part choral setting of the Nunc Dimittis (Lord, now let your servant depart in peace), in the high-lonesome style of Appalachian singing.  This is a canticle heard traditionally for Evening services.  It was composed for the St. Michael's Choir in NYC, and in memory of my father.  Copyright, 2017.
