My commission for Amuse Singers in New York City was premiered at Rutgers Presbyterian Church (73rd and Broadway) on 18 October at 7:30 pm, with a subsequent performance at the Cathedral of St John the Divine (112th and Amsterdam) on 22 October at 4:45 pm. I was happy to attend the first performance and hear the hard work of Amuse Singers and their director Colin Britt in person in their performance of a challenging program of Renaissance works alongside contemporary reflections. My piece 'Above the Stars' pairs with Byrd's 'O Gloriosa Domina' and uses whole tone scales to inflect a number of cross relations into the work, just as Byrd was famous for.
