Words of the Prophet
Words of the Prophet for SATB chorus. 2009
This choral piece takes its text from portions of The Prophet by Lebanese/American writer Kahlil Gibran. Focused on the quasi-sacred idea that we are all children of Life, I reduced Gibran's epic story to three main sections: love, marriage, and children. Although the work is a single uninterrupted piece, the three divisions are each organized by unique melodic and harmonic structures.
