Written at the 2016 Clear Creek Music Festival in Halfway, Oregon, Winter Light is a special piece to me because the text it is based on is by a close friend, Monica Brett-Serle. The piece calls for a quasi theatrical approach to speaking and in some of the musical phrases. I selected Monica’s poem Sundance from her book of poems The Mustard Seed, because the poem reminded me of the little town of Halfway where I was at the time I wrote it.

Recorded by soprano Julia Brown and pianist John Mueter
