By Janelle Monae. By Charles D. Joseph Ii, Janelle Monae Robinson, Jon Webb, Kellis Earl Parker Jr., and Nathaniel Irvin III. Arranged by Alison Dozier. A Cappella. 11 pages. A.N.D. #998552. Published by A.N.D. (A0.1416963).

This treble a cappella arrangement of the last song on Janelle Monae's Dirty Computer album embraces the duality of loving our country and critiquing it's injustices. The arrangement was created for an LGBTQ+ ensemble and seeks to challenge mysogyny and racism. Woven into the original song are themes from America the Beautiful set in a minor key to evoke the imperfection of a nation and it's citizens that continue to strive for equity. Nods to his purple majesty are included to honor his collaboration on the album.

2022. SSAA, piano, flute and bassoon / 6 min

I was taken in by the story in the poem “Tree-Burial� by William Cullen Bryant, a 19th century American romantic poet - about a Native American ritual of burying a child high among the trees rather than in the ground. This ritual and the words spoken seem a powerful balm in the face of grief and sadness. The text reflects the mother’s tenderness to the child - sorrowful but loving and beautiful. I found the poem in a collection of “Poems About Trees,� celebrating sacred groves, wild woodlands, and bountiful orchards, paying lyrical tribute to these majestic beings with whom we share the earth.

Composed for women’s voices, the flute and bassoon add a doleful fullness to this piece. My composition borrows from the longer poem.

Also available in SSA & piano, flute, oboe/clarinet and bassoon.

Performed here by the Rocky Mountain Chamber Choir - Virtual Singers.
