for SATB Choir, Piano & Guitar
 
Music and lyrics by Santiago Veros

Your choir does not simply perform the piece. It becomes the first public voice of the work in your state.

Why this premiere matters

A first performance gives a choir a story before the first note is sung.

Odes of Love was written as a celebration of life itself: friendship, memory, nature, presence, family, ordinary days, and the people who make time feel meaningful.

The state-premiere model turns that message into a public role. When your choir claims the state premiere, the concert becomes easier to explain and more meaningful to promote: this is the first time this work will be heard in your state, and your singers are the ones carrying it there.

The promise is simple: one state, one ensemble, one first performance.

Once a state is claimed on the live map, that opportunity belongs to that choir for the 2026/27 season.

The real value

Your choir becomes part of a national season without losing its local identity.

A state premiere gives your ensemble a clear artistic identity: your singers become the first people in your state to bring this music to life.

That gives you language for newsletters, season announcements, concert programs, social posts, donor updates, department communication, and local press. The piece arrives with a human message, a practical format, and a public reason for the performance to matter.

The 2026/27 premiere season also points toward Santiago Veros’s scheduled Carnegie Hall concert in March 2027. The Carnegie concert is a separate milestone with its own program, and it gives the season a visible artistic horizon.
