What’s Your Vocal “14er”? Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem. I got to perform it in Washington, DC, with the Cathedral Choral Society in the late 1990s. I still think about that performance a lot. What a massive, amazing, moving, and thought-provoking piece! I feel so lucky to have sung it.
What Song or Composer Should Ars Nova Cover in the Future? Rosephanye Powell. She, like me, did graduate work in choral conducting at Florida State University. I chose one of her pieces for my master’s recital, and she was very kind in answering my questions about performing the piece. As we evolve with the Black Lives Matter movement, I’d love to see Ars Nova perform more music composed by Black Americans, and especially Black American women.
