Description
A Cantata for 2 soloists, SATB Choir and Orchestra, A Triptych of American Voices is a kaleidoscope on prevailing themes of American political discourse from the purview of an immigrant composer. It’s a musical narrative told from the prisms of three great poems – Sympathy (aka, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings) by Paul Dunbar, As I Grew Older by Langston Hughes, and We Need to Talk by Michael Castro, interspersed with quote attributed to George Orwell (Eric Blair) and ‘responsorial’ texts from ancient oracles.
The 30-minute work, scored for mixed chorus, counter-tenor and tenor soloists, and chamber orchestra, was commissioned by Coro Allegro of Boston, (David Hodgkins, Artistic Director), and premiered March 24, 2019 at the Sanders Theatre in Cambridge, MA.
