The New England Conservatory New Music Vocal Chamber Ensemble, a group of young singers dedicated to performing works written by composers at NEC, gave a gorgeous premiere performance on April 6 of selections from my three-movement Walt Whitman setting I Dream’d in a Dream for SATB. This was the first performance by the sixteen-piece ensemble, and hopefully not the last time that we will collaborate!
Click the titles of the movements to hear mp3s of this performance:
I. Dream’d in a Dream
II. Think of the Soul (not performed)
III. Among the Multitude
Read the texts while you listen, and check out my previous post about setting the poetry of Whitman to music.
