This piece is a collaborative project with conductor/poet Robert Bode. A choral work in memory of Dr. Morris J. Beachy based on Monteverdi's O Mirtillo. Bode's text and Earnest's music are an evocation of the experience of singing Monteverdi’s madrigal, and certain fragments of his madrigal have been folded into this work—both textually and musically.

 
Commissioned and premiered by the University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory Singers in October 2011 under Robert Bode’s direction. The performance of the Fantasy immediately followed a performance of Monteverdi’s madrigal without pause. Duration: 7:30.
