Bright Kingdoms, Kingdoms of Innocence

COMPOSER: Ingram Marshall

GENRE: orchestra and recorded sounds

PERFORMANCE: Friday, March 21st at Powell Hall with David Robertson conducting

This piece was so moving to me. I absolutely loved how I connected with the use of the hen, "Abide with Me." It made the piece so special and personal for me as I listened. I was very much intrigued by the use of recorded sounds, and loved that it utilized a boys choir, reminds me of my time in Vienna. So many personal elements lined up with me and my life to make this piece memorable. I believe the composer was in attendance at this performance, and I was grateful to hear this creation of his.
