Instruments, with texts by Madeleine L’Engle, was commissioned by the American Choral Directors Association, Eastern Division. The piece comprises two contrasting movements. “The Sky Is Strung With Glory” is fiery, energetic, and almost manic as the speaker attempts to describe music’s power and control. “Hold Me Against The Dark” is much more subdued and tranquil, featuring lush harmonies as the speaker describes her relationship to the vastness of music. The piece was premiered in 2018 by the ACDA East Honor Choir under the direction of David Fryling, with pianist Timothy Plambeck. Duration: 7:00.
