“The Lesson of the Lark” – a new work with a powerful call for gender equity

Now available for purchase – “The Lesson of the Lark,” written as a celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the ratification of Women’s Voting Right. This new multi-movement concert work composed for narrator, soprano and mezzo-soprano soloists, and chorus, contains a powerful message calling for gender equity. The work takes its inspiration from the language of Jazz – including elements of Swing, Blues, Bossa Nova, Gospel, Salsa, and improvisation.

The piece is composed for both SATB and SSA choral ensembles. (SATB and SSA versions may be combined for a collaborative performance.) All choral parts are written with accessibility in mind – with generous use of unison lines, canonic phrases, and triadic harmonies.

Accompaniment options include Jazz Orchestra (original version), Jazz Chamber Ensemble (available soon), Jazz Quartet, and Solo Piano.

Score available here.
