Choral Music
Choral music has been a major focus since 2014. Most recently, I've completed one choral cycle and have a second in the works—both on poems from Robert Frost's A Boy's Will (1913).
Please see below for text, score samples and MIDI demos of each cycle, and contact me if you are an interested director (or are friendly with one)!
Hymns from a Meadow (SATB a cappella) expresses a Druidic reverence for nature and seasonal energy. Love or a Season (SSA + harp) tells of the long journey of a marriage. Both use the backdrop of sacred places in Mike’s (and Frost’s) native New England.
