“8 Ways to Look at a Window” by Marjorie Halloran
Text by Francesca Myhrvold
SSAA, a cappella
“8 Ways to Look at a Window” is a collection of 8 miniatures – a set of character pieces by Marjorie Halloran, from poetry by Francesca Myhrvold. The story tells of a girl who gets to choose a new bedroom in their house, instead of sharing with her sister. She picks the smaller bedroom, with less closet space – but it has a window. Each movement tells a different bit of the view from the window.

“Wild Embers” by Melissa Dunphy
Text by Nikita Gill
SSAA, a cappella
I met Melissa at the Composer’s Fair during the recent ACDA national conference in Kansas City. She had a number of works for SSAA ensembles, and every one of them had a purposefully-chosen poetic text that rose off the page along with the music. Her work had life and energy and feisty passion, and I wanted to program it all! Among her works, “Wild Embers” is at the top of my list for a future performance.
