Composed by Adam Lenhart. Contemporary,Standards. 31 pages. Adam Lenhart #6702631. Published by Adam Lenhart (A0.949388).Burning, set for tenor voice, cello and piano is a personal and disturbing emotional response to a graphic display of hatred towards the LGBTQ+ community. The composition of this piece is built around the unstable augmented chord. Typically, this chord is used to move a phrase forward and is found in the middle of said phrase. While it pushes the music forward, it hasn't yet reached a resolution and is stuck in a turbulent middle ground. This constant dissonance paired with the changing meter is designed to invoke feelings of unrest and nervousness in the audience to help them better connect with how this type of situation impacts the youth of these underrepresented groups. However, by the end of the piece the augmented chord becomes so overplayed and familiar that it loses these qualities and begins to sound standard to the ear.
Includes full score and individual parts.
**An F horn covers the vocal line in the sample recording.
