Published by Adrienne Inglis (ASCAP) (A0.953635). Hot off the press! Dramatic, almost operatic song for soprano and piano (with rattle and mallet) that brings to life the tragic story of two Coahuilteco sisters sold into slavery during the Spanish mission era in Texas I am worth nothing (2022), a song for soprano and piano by Adrienne Inglis (ASCAP)Commissioned by Inversion Ensemble for Eternal Graffiti April 9, 2022, Austin, TexasProgram note: Commissioned by Inversion Ensemble and composed by Adrienne Inglis, I am worth nothing sets a stunning Coahuilteco/English poem by Texas poet Lisa Kay Adam. From the phrase PÄ«ntci nakÄmmam axÄm (I am worth nothing), Adam creates a vivid story of two young Coahuiltecan sisters and their encounters with newly arrived Spanish settlers and mission priests in the eighteenth century. Musically, the florid phrases and haunting modalities join with the sounds of drums and melancholic bells to paint a picture of exploitation, early death, and a lost way of life in the western gulf coastal plains.Text: I am not worthy - PÄ«ntci nakÄmmam axÄm, poem by Lisa Kay Adam from her book xuÄi: mission, house, village, town, published in 2018 by Lamar University Literary Press, used with permissionDuration: 9:06 (at most)World premiere: Eternal Graffiti with soprano Katrina Saporsantos and pianist Benjamin Dia April 9, 2022 Austin, Texashttps://www.chaskimusic.com/adrienne
