Panoramic Voices presents “Folk Yeah� with Invoke that includes two world premieres, Wari and Uma, both Andean folk settings in Aymara.

Commissioned by Panoramic Voices for its “Folk Yeah!� concert October, 21, 2023, Uma for SATB and string quartet with optional charango and sikus is written as a dance in the style of a Bolivian huayño. The text in the indigenous language of Aymara comes from the poem “Uma� written by Chilean poet Pedro Humire Loredo. In the high Andean plateau called the altiplano or puna, the scarcity of water calls on the local people to share the precious and essential resource. Humire’s poetry reassures us that there is enough uma (water) for all. The popular indigenous huayño dance predates the Spanish conquest. This choral setting celebrates cooperation and sharing of water with embellished instrumental sections and optional panpipes (sikus or zampoñas) played in hocket (trenzado) and charango. Occasional shouts (gritos) may add to the excitement.

Commissioned by Panoramic Voices for its “Folk Yeah!� concert October 21, 2023, Wari for SATB and string quartet with optional charango is written as a lament in the style of a Bolivian yaraví. The text in the indigenous language of Aymara comes from the poem “Uma� written by Chilean poet Pedro Humire Loredo. Wari means vicuña, a native wild camelid species considered to be the ancestor of the domesticated alpaca. The harsh life of the Andes takes its toll on vicuña young, leaving behind grieving vicuña mothers. The Aymara people suffer similar losses and also cry for their lost loved ones. This yaraví lament includes expressive cadenza sections for both violin and cello, traditional key and rhythm, and a choral setting of Humire’s poignant poetry.

2016 Choral Contest Entry  - In late 2014, Dan Korneychuk, music director at the Bel Air Presbyterian church in Los Angeles, asked me to score one of his favorite poems which was written by Samuel Grossman in 1664. It had been put to music unsuccessfully, some felt, several times in the past. I decided to write a ‘hymn version’ first, much as it would appear in a traditional hymnal. Unfortunately, the text traversed the extremes of emotion in the telling of Christ’s passion rendering the melody inappropriate in places. I decided to keep to the hymn version as much as possible, but when the emotional story differed from the musical one, I used harmonic variation and dissonance, utilizing the wide palette of the orchestra to tell the story. This piece has been performed on Palm Sunday.

Versions exist in the form of a hymn, an arrangement for 10 brass and 2 percussion, an arrangement for SATB/piano, An arrangement for SATB/organ, and an arrangement for orchestra.

This is a great SATB arrangement for jazz vocal choir with a twist! It starts out similar to the original. It is written in 3/4 but has a definite feel of 6/8. After the initial theme is presented, a jazz waltz feel is introduced with some scat syllable elaborations on the main theme. A great addition to any choir concert, especially when looking for something different with a 3/4 - 6/8 feel. Level 3.
