Vocalise (2020)

“Vocalise” (2020)
for soprano and fadolín
commissioned by the Refugee Orchestra Project as part of the Quarantine Commission Challenge, in memory of conductor John Oliver — sponsored by Eileen Huang.

“Vocalise” is a wordless song — it would be strange to heave on it a program note describing its meaning and story. It is simply a song — what you read into it is up to you.
