Upcoming
Walking on Earth
Song Cycle for Soprano and Piano
This cycle of six songs is now finished. It is my tribute to Mother Earth. The text deals with several related ideas: the
ever-changing cycles of nature, mans general disregard of what has been set in pla, and the enlightenment that follows the
recognition of these patterns.
In The Works
Myrddin's Prophecy
Opera/Ballet in Two Acts
This work was originally conceived for an application to the Aldeborough Residency Program. I will be working with
collaborating with Chriselle Tidrick, director/choreographer of Above and Beyond Dance and Brooklyn Repertory Opera on this
project. Ballet has not been used as a thoroughly integrated part of opera for some time. With this piece we intend to do just
that. The work will feature both traditional and aerial dance. The story is inspired by many of the ancient Welsh texts
concerning the historical character of Merlin, the legend of the Grail and Celtic mythology. In the fall of 2011 we hope to
premiere several scenes, with the full work to follow in 2012.
