The first is in the use of text in the creation of music. The influence of a text is used both in sung music and instrumental music for structure, sonic material and other associative influence.

The lighting here is a bit heavy handed, but begins to show some of my particular interests. In addition, I am "staging" a performance of "9 Settings of Celan" by Harrison Birtwistle on April 16. I hope to have some video to post up here from that. | The lighting here is a bit heavy handed, but begins to show some of my particular interests.
