SOMETHING WE NEED (2022)
SOMETHING WE NEED is a five-movement choral-instrumental work commissioned for the 150th anniversary of Boston University's School of Music. The creative impulse and personal relationships between the composer and the musicians were built through a 4-hour creative workshop where they played, danced, made sounds, told stories, showed up holistically as human beings, followed by ongoing dialogues.
The piece explores the role of music and musicians in the midst of technological advances, deepening loneliness, environmental stress, and ideological divides. It is the composer's hope that in the process of exploring these pieces, musicians and audiences are reminded of what really matters
to us as artists. and what is that something we need as human beings:
EXPRESSION - CONNECTION - TRANSCENDENCE - EMPATHY - PERSEVERANCE - JOY
Scores available soon |
Premiered at Boston University in April 2023
