Overview
I debuted "Ashes, Ashes," a new work of music composed for The National Capital Area Chapter of the Fulbright Association's Commemoration of the 10th Anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy: ?9/11 Retrospective 10 Years Later; What Does It Mean?? The concert took place Sunday, September 11, 2011, 4:00pm ? 5:30pm at Christ Lutheran Church Inner Harbor, 701 S. Charles Street, Baltimore. "Ashes, Ashes" is an elegiac work scored for mezzo-soprano Diane Schaming, flutist Lisa Cella, and percussionist Andy Hayleck. I sequenced a score on computer for waterphone, bowed guitar, media samples, and synthesis.
I wrote the lyrics, inspired by memory, and hours of video viewing on the Internet.
The online documentation presents the final movement, which I have titled "Reconcile."
The documentation presented in video represents the final movement of the 18 minute work.
