Year: 2002 | Type: Single-movement work for a cappella choir | Duration: ca. 6'
I composed A-nir for my composition class at the National Conservatory of Music. The title means "lamentation" in the Sumerian language and the text corresponds to the first twenty-one lines of The Lament for Sumer and Urim, written between 2600 and 1700 BC. In 2004, A-nir won the Vanguard Premieres Choral Composition Contest, sponsored by the Michigan-based choir Vanguard Voices, in the category of emerging composers.
Notes:
This work premiered in June 2005 at the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center, Dearborn, Michigan by Vanguard Voices, under the direction of G. Kevin Dewey.
A recording of the premiere exists, but the rights belong to Vanguard Voices. Therefore, I cannot link to it on this page.
