Vocal Music
Multitudinous Stars and Spring Waters for soprano and oboe combines a collection of poems by women poets from a vast period of Chinese history. Their poems make up the larger picture of love and waiting, sometimes with disappointment and grief, of admiration, of marriage and of eternal love. The whole work is a love song – telling that age-old story of the push and pull of emotions that only love can cause.
Duration approximately 16 minutes
Double Reeds
Metamorphosis for two oboes and piano explores starkness, freedom, and a dance of discovery of self as told through the interweaving lines of the oboes. The piano becomes the support that helps guide the changes along the way, ebbing and flowing in its own voice. The flow of the voices continuously strive to emerge and change into something new.
