RAIN CYCLE
SSAATBB
Choral Suite: 4 Movements
20min approx.
*unlimited
copies
The choral suite RAIN CYCLE was first conceived as a Sound Walk for the L.A. Choral Lab (who commissioned its composition, and recorded and produced the sound walk). The RAIN CYCLE sound walk premiered in Griffith Park, Los Angeles, in the meadow below the old merry-go-round on April 11th, 2021.
​
RAIN CYCLE's subject is inspired by the persistent heat that haunts Southern California year around. That is, until the Spring, when the long-awaited rain showers begin, cooling the dusty city of Los Angeles, cleansing its air, and producing hillsides lush with super-blooms and corridors aflutter with the north-bound butterfly migrations.
​
Originally written for 7 singers of the L.A. Choral Lab, RAIN CYCLE can be performed by a septet or a full mixed ensemble.

The 'Ascent' choral suite is a visceral, energetic choral suite inspired by the iconic Flatirons mountains in Colorado, and the city of Boulder that lies at the foothills. The movements of Ascent incorporate intricate baroque-style counterpoint, lush contemporary harmony, and rhythmic breathing techniques to evoke a sonic experience that is felt in the lungs, legs, and sinew, as well as the heart.
​
The 'Ascent' choral suite is part of a larger work, ASCENT: A Boulder Soundwalk, commissioned by Colorado's Ars Nova Singers. It was first installed as a free public sound installation in Boulder's Scott Carpenter Park in the summer of 2023 with support from the Create Boulder initiative, the Boulder Convention and Visitor's Bureau, and Boulder Parks & Recreation.
