Bunda Kum Bun

in
Composer: 
Sarinda Soponpong
Premiere Date: 
September 29, 2011
Composer Notes: 

 
In this piece, I combined two musical contexts, which are Thai language and style and western harmony. It is very obvious that the texts are not in English, but it is written by using English characters to make it easier to read for non-native speakers. Furthermore, most of the melodic direction, scale, and rhythmic pattern are not in western style. On the other hand, in term of harmony, it is obvious that this piece is harmonize in western style by using chords and some counterpoints, which Thai music does not have these two elements.

This setting of the Seven Last Words incorporates the theme of Dies Irae throughout the work. Each movement has a different style. A good choir and soloists are needed. The orchestra is relatively small: single winds, FH, Timpany and strings.

Free at Last!

in
Composer: 
Roger H. Wesby
Premiere Date: 
November 7, 2004
Composer Notes: 

This piece is written in a gospel style but has aspects of jazz and modern "classical" writing as well. There is a good deal of call and response and the piece is quite rhythmic. The opening solo, "I have a dream" may be sung by any male voice-type. The "Shouters," male and female voices in unison, sing a repetitive riff on the text "From the hills of New Hampshire! From New York’s mighty mountains!...
This piece is almost certainly a concert finale - the ending is "big."
It was composed in honor of Brown vs. Board Education, May 17, 1954 and
