i thank you God for most this amazing (E. E. Cummings) Alto, cello, piano 2003


“i thank You God for most this amazing” was commissioned by Mary Hale.  She requested the specific instrumentation.  I myself have always been partial to the cello and plan to take it up.  In writing this piece, I sought to capture the sense of joy, abandon and pure love of nature which is so beautifully expressed by a master poet.



Performers:  Amanda Powell, mezzo-soprano; Sergio Castellanos, cello; Brenda Moore Miller, piano
